An improved panel method has been developed to calculate compressible inviscid flow through a turbine blade row. The method is a combination of the panel method for infinite cascade, a deviation angle model, and a compressibility correction. The resulting solution provides a fast flexible mesh-free calculation for cascade flow. A VKI turbine blade cascade is used to evaluate the method, and the comparison with experiment data is presented.

High process efficiencies and high power-weight ratios are two major requirements for the economic operation of present day gas turbines. This development leads to extremely high turbine inlet temperatures and adjusted pressure ratios. The permissible hot gas temperature is limited by the material temperature of the blade. Intensive cooling is required to guarantee an economically acceptable life of the components which are in contact with the hot gas. Although film-cooling has been successfully in use for a couple of years along the suction side and pressure side, problems occur in the vicinity of the stagnation point due to high stagnation pressures and opposed momentum fluxes. In this area basic investigations are necessary to achieve a reliable design of the cooled blade. In the present calculations, a code for the coupled simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer in solid bodies is employed. The numerical scheme works on the basis of an implicit finite volume method combined with a multi-block technique. The full, compressible 3-D Navier-Stokes equations are solved within the fluid region and the Fourier equation for beat conduction is solved within the solid body region. An elliptic grid generator is used for the generation of the structured computational grid, which is a combination of various C-type and H-type grids. Results of a 3-D numerical simulation of the flow through a turbine blade cascade with and without cooling ejection at the leading edge through two slots are presented. The results are compared with 2-D numerical simulations and experimental results. It is shown that the distribution of the coolant on the blade surface is influenced by secondary flow phenomena which can not be taken into account by the 2-D simulations. Further coupled simulations with non-adiabatic walls in the leading edge region are performed with realistic temperature ratios and compared to the same case with adiabatic walls. It is shown that in the case of non-adiabatic walls the temperature on the blade wall is significantly lower than in the case of adiabatic walls.

Numerical simulations of 2D compressible flow through the tip-section turbine blade cascade with a flat profile and the supersonic inlet were carried out by the OpenFOAM code using the Favre-averaged Navier-Stokes equations completed by the γ-Re_θt bypass transition model with the SST turbulence model. Predictions completed for nominal regimes were concentrated particularly on the effect of the shock-wave/boundary layer interaction on the transition to turbulence. Further, the link between the inlet Mach number and the inlet flow angle i.e. the so called unique incidence rule was studied. Obtained numerical results were compared with experimental data covering optical and pressure measurements.

Numerical results are presented for viscous flow through a transonic turbine cascade using different turbulence models and H-type grids. The explicit Navier-Stokes solver used in the solution was developed with an option of conservative zonal approach for interpolation across the periodic boundaries with minimum numerical errors. This approach allows the use of a grid that is more orthogonal and less skewed which leads to higher accuracy in the prediction of turbine blade performance. The results obtained with an algebraic and two equation turbulence models, and with two types of H grids are compared at two different flow conditions.

This paper deals with the numerical simulation of 2D transonic flow through the SE1050 turbine blade cascade at various flow conditions. The first one concerns the design operation with a zero incidence angle involved in the ERCOFTAC Database CFD-QNET and the second one with a +20° incidence angle corresponding to an off-design operation. Advanced mathematical models with two different models of the bypass transition to turbulence were applied for the simulation of different regimes of transonic flows as well as with attached and separated flows. Transition models proposed by Dick et al. [1] and by Menter and Smirnov [2] are based on transport equations for the intermittency coefficient. Numerical results were compared with experimental data based on the optical and pressure measurements.
