Experiments and Computations on Large Tip Clearance Effects in a Linear Cascade (2010)
Journal Article
Williams, R., Gregory-Smith, D., He, L., & Ingram, G. (2010). Experiments and Computations on Large Tip Clearance Effects in a Linear Cascade. Journal of Turbomachinery, 132(2), Article 021018. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.3104611

Large tip clearances typically in the region of 6% exist in the high pressure (HP) stages of compressors of industrial gas turbines. Due to the relatively short annulus height and significant blockage, the tip clearance flow accounts for the largest...

Endwall Profile Design for the Durham Cascade using Genetic Algorithms (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
MacPherson, R., & Ingram, G. (2010, January). Endwall Profile Design for the Durham Cascade using Genetic Algorithms. Presented at Seventh South African Conference on Computational and Applied Mechanics, SACAM10, Pretoria, South Africa

This paper describes a system for designing profiled endwalls for the Durham Cascade, a well known turbomachinery test case. A genetic algorithm coupled with “off the shelf” software was used, a commercial flow solver (Fluent) was used to run the des...
