Aerodynamic Damping Characteristics of a Transonic Turbine Cascade [PDF]
The unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of oscillating thin turbine blades were studied both experimentally and numerically to obtain the comprehensive knowledge on the aerodynamic damping of the blades operating in transonic flows. The experiment was carried out in a linear cascade tunnel by use of the influence coefficient method.
