Aero-thermal performance of transonic high-pressure turbine blade tips

<p>This thesis presents an experimental and theoretical study of unshrouded tips on gas turbine blades with and without winglets. The goal of the winglet tip design is to reduce over-tip leakage flow. To assess the potential use of winglets, their effectiveness in reducing loss and the cooling...
