Some Features of Tip Gap Flow Fields of a Linear Compressor Cascade
… study of three-dimensional turbulent tip gap flows in the linear cascade wind tunnel, for two different tip gap clearances (t/c=1.65% and 3.3%). The experiments focus on near-wall flow field measurements for the stationary wall and moving wall, and static pressure measurement on the …

Correlation between Unsteady Loading and Tip Gap Flow Occurring in a Linear Cascade with Simulated Stator-Rotor Interaction
… model an axial compressor rotor. To simulate the flow created by the junction of a set of inlet guide vanes and the compressor casing, vortex generators were glued to a moving end wall. In this investigation, the tip clearance was varied from 0.83% to 12.9% chord. Measurements of the midspan and …

Measurements of the Tip-gap Turbulent Flow Structure in a Low-speed Compressor Cascade
… presents results from a thorough study of the tip-gap turbulent flow structure in a low-speed linear compressor cascade wind tunnel at Virginia Tech that includes a moving belt system to simulate the relative motion between the tip and the casing. The endwall pressure measurements and the …

Near Wall Behavior of Vortical Flow around the Tip of an Axial Pump Rotor Blade
… study of three-dimensional turbulent tip gap flow in a linear cascade wind tunnel with 3.3% chord tip clearance with and without moving endwall simulation. Experimental measurements have been completed in Virginia Tech low speed linear cascade wind tunnel. A 24" access laser-Doppler …

Tip leakage flow, heat transfer and blade lifing in a jet engine turbine
… code (MEFP) was used to calculate developing flow and heat transfer in turbine tip gaps. Successful calculations of the heat transfer to a model turbine blade tip were obtained with a Prandtl mixing length turbulence model. The calculations revealed details of the flow development including …

An experimental investigation of turbine blade tip heat transfer and tip gap flows in the supersonic regime
Gas turbine blade tip heat transfer and tip gap flow phenomena has been explored experimentally in a stationary cascade for blade exit Mach numbers = 1.2 to 1.4. Experimental results were found to agree well with qualitative predictions performed at GE Aircraft Engines. The pressure distribution in …

Near Wall Investigation of Three Dimensional Turbulent Boundary Layers
… for four different three-dimensional turbulent flows. The investigation focuses on near wall measurements in these flows. Several experimental techniques are used in the studies; however, the bulk of the investigation focuses on a three-orthogonal-velocity-component fiber-optic laser Doppler …

Tip leakage flow in a linear turbine cascade
… was performed to study the details of flow in the tip clearance gap of a linear turbine blade cascade. The cascade was designed and built to be geometrically similar to the earlier VPI&SU cascade; however, the new cascade also had a tip gap (2.1 percent of blade height) and two endwall …
