The effects of manufacturing variability on turbine vane performance
Gas turbine vanes have airfoil shapes optimized to deliver specific flow conditions to turbine rotors. The limitations of the manufacturing process with regards to accuracy and precision mean that no vane will exactly match the design intent. This research effort is an investigation of the effects o...
