Aeronautics and astronautics are two closely related disciplines, sometimes found under the
joint term aerospace, that have progressed at a formidable pace during the 20th century …

Recently developed lean-burn combustors offer reduced NO x emissions for gas turbines.
The flow at exit of lean-burn combustors is dominated by hot streaks and residual swirl …

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 …

This paper presents experimental measurements and computational predictions of surface
and end wall heat transfer for a high-pressure (HP) nozzle guide vane operating as part of a …

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 …

Understanding the interaction between the combustor and turbine subsystems of a gas
