Experimental Analysis of Clearance Leakage Characteristics at Blade Edge Plates of a Gas Turbine Engine

The loss of cold air from the blade edge plates of the turbine has a negative impact on engine performance and safety. Using an experimental method, this paper investigates the effect of geometric and aerodynamic parameters on cold air leakage through pressure and mass flow measurements. Based on th...
