Conference Proceeding
Snedden, G., Dunn, D., Ingram, G., & Gregory-Smith, D. (2009). The Application of Non-axisymmetric Endwall Contouring in a Single Stage, Rotating Turbine.

As turbine manufacturers strive to develop machines that are more efficient, one area of focus has been the control of secondary flows. To a large extent these methods have been developed through the use of computational fluid dynamics and detailed m...

Large Tip Clearances and Highly Skewed Inlet Conditions (2009)
Conference Proceeding
Williams, R., Gregory-Smith, D., & Ingram, G. (2009). Large Tip Clearances and Highly Skewed Inlet Conditions. In F. Heitmeir, F. Martelli, & M. Manna (Eds.), 8th European Conference on Turbomachinery : fluid dynamics and thermodynamics (EUROTURBO 8), 23-27 March 2009, Graz, Austria ; proceedings (355-366)

Multi stage and end-wall effects result in a highly skewed inlet boundary layer to high pressure axial compressor rotor rows, this paper investigates the influence of these skewed boundary layers on tip clearance flows. The particular focus is on com... Read More about Large Tip Clearances and Highly Skewed Inlet Conditions.

Vorticity Development in Highly Loaded Cascade Blades (2009)
Conference Proceeding

Manna (Eds.), 8th European Conference on Turbomachinery : fluid dynamics and thermodynamics (EUROTURBO 8), 23-27 March 2009, Graz, Austria ; proceedings (1277-1287)

A number of innovative techniques to reduce secondary flow, such as profiled endwalls and passage shaping have been proposed in recent years. This paper demonstrates how examining vorticity development through a highly loaded cascade can enhance the... Read More about Vorticity Development in Highly Loaded Cascade Blades.

As the demand for renewable energy grows, the use of small wind turbines becomes increasingly attractive. Turbines using vertical-axis geometries are particularly suited to the urban environment by virtue of their operation being independent of wind...
