RELATIVE CASING MOTION EFFECT ON SQUEALER TIP COOLING PERFORMANCE AT TIGHT TIP CLEARANCE
Journal of Thermal Science and Engineering Applications, 2020Abstract The effect of relative motion between the casing and turbine blade tip has been recognized as an important factor for tip aerothermal performance evaluation. Tight tip clearance is becoming one of the main objectives of engine manufacturers.

Effects of Tip Gap Film Injection From Plain and Squealer Blade Tips
Volume 3: Turbo Expo 2004, 2004The present study investigates the effect of orthogonal tip gap film injection from a plain and squealer tip of a HPT first stage rotor blade. The pressure ratio (inlet total pressure to exit static pressure) for the cascade used was 1.2, and the experiments were run in a blow-down test rig with a four-blade stationary linear cascade.

Turbine Blade Tip Leakage Flow Control by Partial Squealer Tip and Plasma Actuators
44th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2006In order to further the understanding of turbine tip leakage and passage ∞ow mechanisms for undesirable entropy production, an experiment was conducted in a linear cascade at the Hessert Laboratory. Blade surface and tip endwall static pressure, total pressure loss, and wake vorticity measurements were taken to document the efiects of upstream axial ...

Aeromechanical Optimization of a Winglet-Squealer Tip for an Axial Turbine
Journal of Turbomachinery, 2010The possibility of reducing the over tip leakage loss of unshrouded axial turbine rotors has been investigated in an experiment using a linear cascade of turbine blades and by using CFD. A numerical optimization of a winglet-squealer geometry was performed. The optimization involved the structural analysis alongside the CFD.

Flow Investigations in the Tip Gap of Rotor Blade Tips With Squealer Cavity
Volume 6A: Turbomachinery, 2013The tip leakage flow in turbines is considered to be responsible/or significant machine losses. An efficient reduction of these losses by e. g. squealer cavities at rotor blade tips requires a detailed physical and quantitative understanding of the tip leakage flow.

Robustness Analysis on the Aerothermal Performance of Turbine Blade Squealer Tip
Journal of Engineering for Gas Turbines and Power, 2022Abstract An improved efficient uncertainty quantification (UQ) analysis framework is proposed by the combination of sparse polynomial chaos expansion (PCE) and universal Kriging (UK) metamodel to obtain the surrogate model (UK-PCE). Moreover, a challenging analytical test function and an engineering test are considered to investigate the

Effect of Shelf Squealer Tip Configurations on Film Cooling Effectiveness
Volume 5C: Heat Transfer, 2018Film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer were measured in squealer tip configurations on the blade tip surface. Three different shelf squealer tip geometries were studied: conventional, vertical, and inclined. The experiment was carried out in a wind tunnel with an inlet mainstream Reynolds number, based on the axial chord length of the blade, of ...

Effect of Common Blade Tip Squealer Designs in Terms of Tip Clearance Loss Control
ASME 2013 Turbine Blade Tip Symposium, 2013The increase of new gas turbine’s efficiency is connected with further rise of turbine inlet temperature and sometimes as well pressure. In these conditions, first cooled turbine stages of a gas turbine engine usually consist of freestanding airfoils, which do not use an integrated shroud, to avoid risk of shroud overheating. In order to better control
