Offshore Wind Farm Asset Management: Past Experiences and Future Challenges. (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper considers the asset management of offshore wind farms and, in particular, how this will change as wind farms increase significantly in capacity and move to sites further offshore. Health monitoring, industrial operational structures, infra... Read More about Offshore Wind Farm Asset Management: Past Experiences and Future Challenges..

Application of an Air-Curtain Fluidic Jet Type Seal to Reduce Turbine Shroud Leakage (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper describes the design and optimization of an ‘air-curtain’ type seal using a fluidic jet to reduce tip leakage losses on a small high-speed single stage axial turbine device. The application will essentially demonstrate proof of concept for... Read More about Application of an Air-Curtain Fluidic Jet Type Seal to Reduce Turbine Shroud Leakage.

A Novel Method of Coupling the Steam Turbine Exhaust Hood and the Last Stage Blades Using the Non-Linear Harmonic Method (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The exhaust hood of a steam turbine is a vital area of turbomachinery research its performance strongly influences the power output of the last stage blades. It is well known that accurate CFD simulations are only achieved when the last stage blades...

Journal Article
Burton, Z., Ingram, G., & Hogg, S. (2013). A Literature Review of Low Pressure Steam Turbine Exhaust Hood and Diffuser Studies. Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 135(6), Article 062001. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4023611

This paper summarizes the findings from research studies carried out over the last 30 years, to better understand the flows in steam turbine low pressure exhaust hoods and diffusers. The work aims to highlight the areas where further study is still r... Read More about A Literature Review of Low Pressure Steam Turbine Exhaust Hood and Diffuser Studies.

A Generic Steam Turbine Exhaust Diffuser with Tip Leakage Modelling and Non-Uniform Hood Outlet (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper advances the work of Burton et al. (2012) to highlight the significance of the last stage blade tip leakage jet on the flow structure in the low pressure (LP) steam turbine exhaust hood, widely regarded as being significant in other publis...
