Diffuser-augmented wind-turbines are drawing increasing attention since they can beat the
Betz-limit referred to the rotor-area. However, their diffusion is still prevented by some issues …

Unsteady component interaction represents a crucial topic in turbomachinery design and
analysis. Combustor/turbine interaction is one of the most widely studied topics both using …

The numerical investigation on shaped trench film cooling was carried out using Reynolds
averaged Navier-Stokes simulation to test its practical utility. The cooling performance of …

In mass customization, a manufacturing line is required to be kept in reliable operation to
handle product demand volatility and potential machine degradations. Recent advances in …

The paper presents a theoretical analysis of advanced gas-turbine cycles. Specifically, three
cycles are investigated, that is the intercooled, the reheat, and the intercooled and reheat …

A high-pressure vane (HPV) equipped with a realistic film-cooling configuration has been
studied. The vane is characterized by the presence of multiple rows of fan-shaped holes …

In the present paper, the influence of the presence of an inlet flow nonuniformity on the
aerodynamic and thermal performance of a film cooled linear nozzle vane cascade is fully …

The paper provides an evaluation of the errors embodied in the Axial Momentum Theory
(AMT) as applied to a uniformly loaded actuator disk model without wake rotation. Although …

Turbine inlet conditions in lean-burn aeroengine combustors are highly swirled and present
nonuniform temperature distributions. Uncertainty and lack of confidence associated with …

Dual-fuel engines can achieve high efficiencies and low emissions but also can encounter
high cylinder-to-cylinder variations on multicylinder engines. In order to avoid these …
