EXPERIMENTS AND COMPUTATIONS ON LARGE TIP CLEARANCE EFFECTS IN A LINEAR CASCADE

Large tip clearances typically in the region of six percent exist in the high pressure stages of compressors of industrial gas turbines. Due to the relatively short annulus height and significant blockage, the tip clearance flow accounts for the largest proportion of loss in the HP. Therefore increa...
