Particle image velocimetry (PIV) has become the chief experimental technique for velocity
field measurements in fluid flows. The technique yields quantitative visualizations of the …

The impinging shock of varying strengths on the free shear layer in a confined supersonic
cavity flow is studied numerically using the detached eddy simulation. The resulting …

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 …

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 …

Absorption spectroscopy is traditionally used to determine the average gas temperature and
species concentration along the laser line-of-sight by measuring the magnitude of two or …

Modern lean burn aero-engine combustors make use of relevant swirl degrees for flame
stabilization. Moreover, important temperature distortions are generated, in tangential and …

The aerothermal interaction of the combustor exit flow on the first vane row has been
examined at the Large Scale Turbine Rig (LSTR) at Technische Universität Darmstadt …

Aeroengine lean-burn combustors release vorticity and temperature perturbations that,
interacting with the first turbine stage, impact the stage aerodynamics, the blade cooling, and …

A novel lean-burn burner effectively reduces NOx emissions from gas turbines, but residual
swirl flow affects the NGV's performance. The multi-point array LDI combustor, as one type of …

The accurate prediction of the fluid dynamic conditions at the exit of gas turbine combustors
are of paramount importance in the aero-thermal design of the aero-engine. In fact, both the …
