Loss models are used to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of axial turbines at the
preliminary design stage. The commonly used loss models were derived for air and steam …

Organic Rankine cycle (ORC) power systems are rapidly diffusing as a technology for the
conversion of thermal energy sources in the small-to-medium power range, eg, from 150 …

Prior to the detailed design of components, turbomachinery engineers must guide a mean-
line or throughflow design toward an optimum configuration. This process requires a …

Studies on performance impact due to the high-dimensional geometric uncertainties face the
“curse of dimensionality” problem, making the cost of uncertainty quantification (UQ) …

The ultra-high bypass ratio geared turbofan is a key concept to reduce the environmental
impact of the next generation aircrafts. The increase in rotational speed of the low-pressure …

Further improvement of state-of-the-art low-pressure (LP) turbines (LPTs) has become
progressively more challenging. LP design is more than ever confronted to the need to …

Over the years, computational fluids dynamics (CFD) has matured to such a state so as to be
indispensable in turbine design. In the past two decades, significant advances in turbine …

Abstract The Low Pressure Turbine (LPT), commonly used in both commercial and military
engines, generally experiences low Reynolds numbers at high altitude cruise conditions …

Here we describe a combined design, numerical, and experimental program intended
substantially to increase the lift and work of low-pressure turbine stages. This exercise is …

Profile error impacts on turbomachinery flow and blade performance have been attracting
widespread attention. In the study, the characteristics of profile error of about one thousand …
