Investigation of the Effects of an Upstream Cavity on the Secondary Flow in Transonic Turbine Blade Passages with Endwall Contouring

Abstract: The investigation documented here aims to contribute to the understanding of secondary flows in modern high-pressure (HP) turbine blade passages. More specifically, it aims to improve the understanding of vortical structures near the endwall with respect to the presence of an upstream cavity that approximates the gap present in actual engines between the rotor and stator of an HP turbine. Further, it aims to assess the viability of using non-axisymmetric endwall contouring to reduce endwall losses, including t… Show more
