... stratified flow turbomachinery vortices The clearance between blade tip and casing results in a leakage flow crossing the tip from the pressure side (PS) to the suction side (SS) of the blade. Vorticity transported by the leakage flow typically rolls up into unsteady vortical structures, making...

... wire measurements that were carried out in the endwall boundary layer of a linear turbine cascade. They found large regions of a very thin endwall boundary layer, although they could not establish its state. blades engines laminar flow stratified flow turbines turbulence vortices...

... stratified flow jets cooling heat transfer Advanced gas turbines are designed to operate at increasingly higher turbine inlet temperatures. This poses a greater challenge to design more effective blade cooling strategies. Film cooling is commonly used to cool the first-stage turbine blade...
