Despite over fifty years of research on shock wave boundary layer effects and interactions,
many related technical issues continue to be controversial and debated. The present survey …

Infrared thermography is a measurement technique that enables to obtain non intrusive
measurements of surface temperatures. One of the interesting features of this technique is its …

Recent studies have demonstrated that the aerothermal characteristics of turbine rotor blade
tip under a transonic condition are qualitatively different from those under a low-speed …

This paper investigates the design of winglet tips for unshrouded high pressure turbine
rotors considering aerodynamic and thermal performance simultaneously. A novel …

Three-dimensional corner separation usually gets worse under the mutual interaction
between the boundary layer and shock wave, thus greatly influencing supersonic …

During past few decades there has been significant increase in turbine entry temperature
(TET) in order to improve gas turbine ability and efficiency, which represents a huge …

A basic attribute for turbine blade film cooling is that coolant injected should be largely
passively convected by the local base flow. However, the effective working of the …

Superior rotor tip geometries possess the potential to simultaneously mitigate aerodynamic
losses and severe thermal loads onto the rotor overtip region. However, classical design …

FOR high-pressure (HP) turbine stages, a major source of aerodynamic loss is the tip
leakage flow in the gap between unshrouded rotor blades and the casing. Generally in the …

Qualitatively different heat transfer characteristics between a transonic blade tip and a
subsonic one have recently been discovered. High-resolution experimental data can be …
