Overtip Choking and Its Implications on Turbine Blade-Tip Aerodynamic Performance

At engine representative flow conditions a significant portion of flow over a high-pressure turbine blade tip is transonic. In the present work, the choking-flow behavior and its implications on overtip leakage-flow loss generation are computationally analyzed. An extensively developed Reynolds-aver...
