The demand for increased turbomachinery performance, both, towards higher pressures and temperatures, leads to high thermal-loads of specific components and can critically affect mechanical integrity. In the particular case of rotating-disk configurations, like the back-side of wheels or in cavities, a very efficient way for cooling is jet impingem...

... each of these operating points, three different coolant flow rates have been specified. The operating points and names are summarized in Table 1, with ˙ m c being the actual coolant mass flow of the impingement jet at the chosen operating point and ˙ m d being the design coolant mass flow. OP3 and OP6 are uncooled configurations and are, therefore, not included in the following results. ...

One of the main sources of efficiency losses in miniaturized turbomachinery is caused by their large relative tip clearances. These small turbomachines are gaining in importance in a number of novel energy systems working with different fluids at closed-loop conditions. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of pressurization on these tip c...

Integrally geared centrifugal compressors (IGC’s) are a well-established and continually growing segment of the turbomachinery industry. They have proven to provide a high level of reliability, efficiency and design flexibility. Although the applications and technology of IGC’s have continued to grow and advance, there are few publications that add...

Acoustic pyrometry is an interesting technique that may find several useful applications in turbomachinery. As the speed of sound is directly related a medium temperature, this measurement technique estimates the temperature of a gas by considering the time of flight of an acoustic wave moving through it. If only an acoustic emitter-receiver couple...

The evolution and characteristics of turbulent boundary layers subjected to a positive pressure gradient are common in many flows of industrial relevance and appear, for instance, on the suction side of high-lift wing sections or turbomachinery blading. The pressure gradient is associated with a deceleration of the external flow which results in a...

An integrated aerodynamic three-hole pressure probe (THP) based on a fiber-optic tip sensor array for high-velocity flow field vector measurement is developed and demonstrated in wind tunnel testing. The sensor array consisting of three miniature pressure fiber-tip sensors is integrated into three pressure conduits inside top area of the THP, which...
