Performance Of A High Work Low Aspect Ratio Turbine Stator Tested With A Realistic Inlet Radial Temperature Gradient PDF Download

A 0.767-scale model of a turbine stator designed for the core of a high-bypass-ratio aircraft engine was tested with uniform inlet conditions and with an inlet radial temperature profile simulating engine conditions. The principal measurements were radial and circumferential surveys of stator-exit total temperature, total pressure, and flow angle. The stator-exit flow field was also computed by using a three-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver. Other than temperature, there were no apparent differences in performance due to the inlet conditions. The computed results compared quite well with the experimental results. Stabe, Roy G. and Schwab, John R. Glenn Research Center RTOP 505-62-3B...
