Presentation / Conference Contribution
MacCalman, J., Hogg, S., & Ingram, G. (2018, June). Application of fluidic curtains to turbine rotor tip seal geometries. Presented at ASME Turbo Expo 2018, Lillestrøm, Norway

Fluidic curtain sealing has recently been shown to offer strong potential especially when a combination of fluidic curtain and a conventional labyrinth seal is used. A series of fundamental dimensionless ratios have been proposed and the design space... Read More about Application of fluidic curtains to turbine rotor tip seal geometries..

On- and off-design performance of a model rotating turbine with non-axisymmetric endwall contouring and a comparison to cascade data (2018)

Non-axisymmetric endwalls in turbine stages have shown to be a robust method to improve the performance of turbines in both power generation and aero-derivative applications. Non-axisymmetric endwalls target the control of secondary flows and are des...
