Journal ArticleDOI
Unsteady Flow Phenomena in Turbine Rim Seals
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the inherent unsteadiness of rim seal flows and provide high quality experimental data for use in evaluation of CFD models, rather than relying on external flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Prediction and Measurement of the Heat Transfer Coefficient in a Direct Oil-Cooled Electrical Machine With Segmented Stator
TL;DR: A novel technique using double-sided thin film heat flux gauges for measuring the heat transfer coefficient from a direct oil-cooled electrical machine with segmented stator is presented and new nondimensional correlations of the Nusselt number with Reynolds number are developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Combustor Swirl on Transonic High Pressure Turbine Efficiency
TL;DR: In this article, an experimental and computational study of the effect of inlet swirl on the efficiency of a transonic turbine stage is presented. But, the authors do not consider the impact of turboprocessor inlet flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Severe Temperature Distortion on Turbine Efficiency
TL;DR: In this paper, an experimental and computational study of the effect of severe inlet temperature distortion (hot streaks) on the efficiency of the MT1 HP turbine, which is a highly loaded unshrouded transonic design.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of a Combined Hot-Streak and Swirl Profile on Cooled 1.5-Stage Turbine Aerodynamics: An Experimental and Computational Study
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of combined hot streaks and swirl on turbine aerodynamics were investigated in the LEMCOTEC turbine, which has been designed to represent modern aero-engine architectures and for robustness to lean-burn combustor-representative inlet flows.
