An experimental study of reverse compound lean in a linear turbine cascade (2005)
Journal Article
Bagshaw, D., Ingram, G., Gregory-Smith, D., & Stokes, M. (2005). An experimental study of reverse compound lean in a linear turbine cascade. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, 219(6), 443-449. https://doi.org/10.1243/095765005x31199

This paper describes a detailed experimental investigation into the effects of reverse compound lean (RCL) in a highly loaded axial turbine cascade. The geometry was designed using fully three-dimensional viscous CFD calculations to achieve a reducti... Read More about An experimental study of reverse compound lean in a linear turbine cascade.

Investigation of a novel secondary flow feature in a turbine cascade with end wall profiling (2005)
Journal Article
Ingram, G., Gregory-Smith, D., & Harvey, N. (2005). Investigation of a novel secondary flow feature in a turbine cascade with end wall profiling. Journal of Turbomachinery, 127(1), 209-214. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.1812321

A novel secondary flow feature, previously unreported for turbine blading as far as the authors are aware, has been discovered. It has been found that it is possible to separate part of the inlet boundary layer on the blade row end wall as it is bein...

The effect of end-wall profiling on secondary flow and loss development in a turbine cascade (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ingram, G., Gregory-Smith, D., Rose, M., Harvey, N., & Brennan, G. (2002, June). The effect of end-wall profiling on secondary flow and loss development in a turbine cascade. Presented at ASME Turbo Expo 2002 : land, sea and air (GT2002)., Amsterdam, The Netherlands

The potential for loss reduction by using non-axisymmetric end-wall profiling has been demonstrated in the so called “Durham” cascade (Hartland et al [1]) and in a turbine representative rig (Brennan et al [2] and Rose et al [3]). This paper aim to e... Read More about The effect of end-wall profiling on secondary flow and loss development in a turbine cascade.

Non-axisymmetric turbine end wall profiling (2001)
Journal Article
Gregory-Smith, D., Ingram, G., Jayaraman, P., Harvey, N., & Rose, M. (2001). Non-axisymmetric turbine end wall profiling. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part A: Journal of Power and Energy, 215(6), 721-734. https://doi.org/10.1243/0957650011539027

A design method for profiling the end wall to reduce secondary flow has been reported previously. A profile has been tested in the Durham Linear Cascade and the results confirmed the design method. This paper describes the design and testing of a sec... Read More about Non-axisymmetric turbine end wall profiling.
