2. 1. On Film Cooling of Turbine Guide Vanes : From Experiments and CFD-Simulations to Correlation Development

   Author : Hossein Nadali Najafabadi; Matts Karlsson; Esa Utriainen; Mats Kinell; Valery Chernoray; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Film Cooling; Gas Turbine; Correlation; CFD; Cylindrical holes; Fan-shaped Holes;

   Abstract : To achieve high thermal efficiency in modern gas turbines, the turbine-inlet temperature has to be increased. In response to such requisites and to prevent thermal failure of the components exposed to hot gas streams, the use of different cooling techniques, including film cooling, is essential. READ MORE

4. 2. Design of an Experimental Facility for Investi- gating the Flow in a Low Pressure Turbine Exit Structure

   Author : Borja Rojo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Turbine Rear Frame; Turbine Exhaust Case; Experimental; Exit Guide Vane; Engine Exit Structure; Aerodynamics; Outlet Guide Vane; Gas Turbine; Wind Tunnel; Heat transfer.; CFD; Turbine Rear Structure;

   Abstract : This report presents the design of a turbine facility for investigating the flow in the EES located at Chalmers University of Technology. The EES is the structure located downstream of the LPT in a jet engine. In this rig, in order to generate realistic inlet boundary conditions for the EES, an LPT stage is located upstream of the EES.

5. 3. Flow Control and Shape Optimization of Intermediate Turbine Ducts for Turbofan Engines

   Author : Fredrik Wallin; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; CFD; response surface methodology; intermediate turbine duct; vortex generators; turbine intermediate case; endwall contouring; turbine center frame; body-force model; shape optimization; mid-turbine frame; flow control;

   Abstract : Demands on improved efficiency, reduced emissions and lowered noise levels cause a strive towards high by-pass ratios of commercial turbofan engines. This results in an increased radial offset between the high- and low-pressure turbines. Thus the design of the intermediate turbine duct connecting the two turbines becomes more challenging.

6. 4. Aerothermal Experimental Investigation of LPT-OGVs

   Author : Borja Rojo; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Experimental; Turbine Rear Structure; Aerodynamics; Wind Tunnel; CFD; Gas Turbine; Engine Exit Structure; Outlet Guide Vane; Heat transfer.; Turbine Exhaust Case; Turbine Rear Frame; Exit Guide Vane;

   Abstract : This thesis presents the design, commissioning, and experimental data of a newly built turbine facility at Chalmers University of Technology for investigating the ow in the engine exit structure (EES). The EES is the structure located downstream of the lowpressure turbine (LPT) in a jet engine. READ MORE

7. 5. Numerical computations of wind turbine wakes

   Author : Stefan S. A. Ivanell; Dan Henningsson; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Applied mechanics; Wind Energy; Wind Turbine; Wake; Circulation; Vortex; CFD; EllipSys3D; Actuator line; Teknisk mekanik; Engineering mechanics; Teknisk mekanik;

   Abstract : Numerical simulations using CFD methods are performed for wind turbine applications. The aim of the project is to get a better understanding of the wake behaviour, which is needed since today’s industrial design codes for wind power applications are based on the BEM (Blade Element Momentum) method.
