On prediction of tip leakage flow and heat transfer in gas turbines
Abstract in UndeterminedA numerical study has been performed to simulate the tip leakage flow and heat transfer on the first stage of a high-pressure turbine, which represents a modern gas turbine blade geometry. The low Re k-ω (SST) model is used to model the turbulence. Calculations are performed for both a flat and a squealer blade tip for three different tip gap clearances. The computations we
