Abstract The introduction of Lean Burn concept as basic Low-N O x scheme for future aero-
engines is heavily affecting the aero-thermal design of combustors. A great amount of air is …

The adoption of lean-burn technology in modern aero-engines influences the already critical
aerothermal conditions at turbine entry, where the absence of dilution holes preserves the …

In this work, the passive flow control method was applied to improve the performance of
symmetrical airfoil section in the stall regime. In addition to the commonly used first law …

Effusion cooling is often regarded as one of the critical techniques to protect solid surfaces
from exposure to extremely hot environments, such as inside a combustion chamber where …

The accurate prediction of the fluid dynamic conditions at the exit of gas turbine combustors
are of paramount importance in the aero-thermal design of the aero-engine. In fact, both the …

Incoming standards on NO x emissions are motivating many aero-engine manufacturers to
adopt the lean burn combustion concept. One of the most critical issues affecting this kind of …

The current study investigates the heat transfer and film-cooling effectiveness on a highly
loaded turbine blade under steady and periodic unsteady wake induced flow conditions …

Energy conservation, efficiency, and environmental responsibility are priorities for modern
energy technologies. The ever increasing demands for lower pollutants and higher …

Modern combustor design optimization is contingent on the accurate characterization of the
combustor flame side heat loads. The present work focuses on the experimental …

The design of gas turbine combustors is an iterative process which is often limited by the
available modelling tools. While high degrees of modelling accuracy have been achieved …
