On prediction of tip leakage flow and heat transfer in gas turbines

Mumic, Fadil LU ; Eriksson, Daniel LU and Sundén, Bengt LU (2004) ASME Turbo Expo 2004 Power for Land, Sea, and Air p.1521-1531
Abstract
Abstract in Undetermined
A numerical study has been performed to simulate the tip leakage flow and heat transfer on the first stage of a high-pressure turbine, which represents a modern gas turbine blade geometry. The low Re k-ω (SST) model is used to model the turbulence. Calculations are performed for both a flat and a squealer blade tip for three different tip gap clearances. The computations were carried out using a single blade with periodic conditions imposed along the boundaries in the circumferential (pitch) direction. The predicted tip heat transfer and static pressure distributions show reasonable agreement with experimental data. It was also observed that the tip clearance has a significant influence on local tip heat... (More)

The flat tip blade provides a higher overall heat transfer coefficient than the squealer tip blade. (Less)
