A two‐dimensional multiscale finite element analysis framework was established for the first‐generation MoSiBTiC alloy, and the mechanical and fracture‐related parameters of the constituent phases were calibrated through experiments and simulations. The framework provides a basis for analyzing crack propagation behavior in its complex microstructure ...

An investigation of secondary flow in a turbine blade with end wall profiling [PDF]
Secondary flows have been long recognised as a significant form of loss mechanism in turbomachinery. They have a major influence over the performance of the blade rows since they cause unsteadiness in the mainstream flow.

A Systemic Design Methodology of PM Generators for Fixed-Pitch Marine Current Turbines [PDF]
This paper deals with the systemic design of permanent magnet (PM) generator associated with fixed-pitch turbine for tidal energy generation. The main problem with marine current turbines systems are the maintenance requirements of the drive-train. It is

Current Status and Challenges in Data Collection for Aerospace Coatings Deposited by Plasma Spraying
An innovative approach has been integrated into the GRENAT project to optimize plasma spraying and coating performance. Raw materials are accelerated and melted in the plasma generated by torches, creating coatings. Monitoring sensors collect process data which are combined with ex situ characterization data.

Cascade Testing and CFD Applied to Gas Turbine Performance Improvement with Compressor Cleaning [PDF]
With the growing interest in life cycle costs for heavy-duty gas turbines, equipment operators are investigating the trade off between performance improvements and associated maintenance costs. One of the key factors leading to performance degradation

NUMERICAL ANALYSIS OF AN AXIAL HIGH PRESSURE PARTIAL ADMISSION TURBINE
The transformation of the energy systems will call for new turbomachinery designs for harvesting low-grade heat. The word “low-grade” has many definitions and ranges from levels where steam is the preferred selection to very low grades where specially ...

Large-Eddy Simulation of Wind Turbine Flows: A New Evaluation of Actuator Disk Models
Large-eddy simulation (LES) with actuator models has become the state-of-the-art numerical tool to study the complex interaction between the atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) and wind turbines. In this paper, a new evaluation of actuator disk models (ADMs)

In Situ Micromechanical Study of Bimodal γ′–γ″ Precipitate Assemblies in Ni–Cr–Al–Nb Superalloy
A Ni–Cr–Al–Nb superalloy with a bimodal γ′–γ″ precipitate distribution is developed. Composite precipitate assemblies form through heterogeneous nucleation, effectively impeding dislocation motion. Micropillar compression reveals high strength at room and elevated temperatures, governed by precipitate shearing, with coupled faulting mechanisms ...
