This study analyzes the flow over a three-dimensional linear low-pressure turbine cascade blade using large eddy simulation at Re = 90,000. The computational model consists of one blade passage with periodic boundaries and synthetic turbulence is generated at the inlet of the domain. Various flow metrics, including isentropic Mach number distribution at mid-span and wake total pressure losses are compared with available experimental data and found to be in good agreement. A more detailed analysis of the turbulence with particular attention to the separation bubble region is subsequently presented. The analysis revealed that the turbulence is in a nearly two-component state very close to the wall region and gradually follows a certain anisotropy trajectory, as the distance from the wall increases. Even in the free-stream region no fully isotropic state is reached, due to large acceleration and flow turning. The results give a new insight into the state of turbulence within the separation region on the blade suction side and emphasize the deficiencies of the Reynolds-averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) turbulence models in reproducing the turbulence anisotropy. This insight is of relevance for the aerodynamic design of turbines, since large parts of the total pressure loss are generated in the separation region.
