Unsteady component interaction represents a crucial topic in turbomachinery design and
analysis. Combustor/turbine interaction is one of the most widely studied topics both using …

In mass customization, a manufacturing line is required to be kept in reliable operation to
handle product demand volatility and potential machine degradations. Recent advances in …

In modern lean-burn aero-engine combustors, highly swirling flow structures are adopted to
control the fuel-air mixing and to provide the correct flame stabilization mechanisms …

Conjugate heat transfer (CHT) analyses were conducted on the film-cooled first stage vane
of GE-E 3 engine to reveal the influences of inlet swirl and hot streak (HS) on vane film …

In order to deepen the knowledge of the interaction between modern lean burn combustors
and high pressure turbines, a real scale annular three sector combustor simulator has been …

With the generalization of Lean Burn combustors, the flow field entering the turbine tends to
feature higher levels of swirl, turbulence, while different hot streak patterns often emerge if …

This paper aims to evaluate the influence of numerical assumption in a Computational Fluid
Dynamics (CFD) analysis for the preliminary design of gas turbines (GTs). In the early …

Modern lean burn aero-engine combustors make use of relevant swirl degrees for flame
stabilization. Moreover, important temperature distortions are generated, in tangential and …

This paper describes a new engine-parts facility at the University of Oxford for high
technology-readiness-level research, new technology demonstration, and for engine …

Unsteady numerical studies were conducted on the effects of combustor exit total pressure
non-uniformity and hot streak (HS) on the aero-thermal characteristics of a high-pressure …
