Blade Loading Effects on Axial Turbine Tip Leakage Vortex Dynamics and Loss

umerical simulations have been carried out to define the loss generation mechanisms associated with tip leakage in un-shrouded axial turbines. Tip clearance vortex dynamics are a dominant feature of two mechanisms important in determining this loss: (i) decreased swirl velocity due to vortex line co...
