Entropy Analysis of the Flat Tip Leakage Flow with Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation. [PDF]
In unshrouded turbine rotors, the tip leakage vortices develop and interact with the passage vortices. Such complex leakage flow causes the major loss in the turbine stage. Due to the complex turbulence characteristics of the tip leakage flow, the widely

Aeroacoustic Investigation of a Single Airfoil Tip Leakage Flow [PDF]
Combined near and far field aeroacoustic measurements have been carried out during an original laboratory scale low Mach number (0–0.3) experiment about the tip leakage flow past a single non-rotating airfoil. Such measurements were made possible by the use of a single airfoil located in the potential core of an open jet flow in the anechoic wind ...

Abstract Due to the structural design requirements, tip leakage flow is a common phenomenon in the field of axial flow rotating machinery. The tip leakage flow interacts with the mainstream and induce complex tip leakage vortex. When the local pressure drops to the saturation pressure, cavitation may occur in flow passage and the vortex ...

Tip Leakage Flow in Axial Compressors [PDF]
Experimental measurements in a linear cascade with tip clearance are complemented by numerical solutions of the three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations in an investigation of tip leakage flow. Measurements reveal that the clearance flow, which separates near the entry of the tip gap, remains unattached for the majority of the blade chord when the tip

Axial-flow turbomachinery is widely used in low head water transfer and electricity generation projects. As there is a gap between the impeller and casing of the tubular flow unit, the fluid will cross the gap to form tip leakage flow, which may induce ...

Influence of Blade Lean on Performance and Shock Wave/Tip Leakage Flow Interaction in a Transonic Compressor Rotor [PDF]
Blade lean has been extensively used in axial compressor stators to control flow separations, but its influence mechanism on transonic compressor rotors remains to be revealed.

Shock Formation in Overexpanded Tip Leakage Flow [PDF]
Shock formation due to overexpansion of supersonic flow at the inlet to the tip clearance gap of a turbomachine has been studied. The flow was modelled on a water table using a sharp-edged rectangular channel. The flow exhibited an oblique hydraulic jump starting on the channel sidewall near the channel entrance.
