An aerodynamic investigation of a high-pressure turbine using rotor casing static pressure measurements at engine representative conditions with different tip designs, tip gaps, an... by Singh, D, Beard, PF, Cardwell, D, Staelens, V, Bahulekar, P, Stokes, M, Bather, S, Chana, K

“…Shroudless turbines experience high heat loads on the rotor tip and casing, which makes them one of the life-limiting components of an engine. If the rotor tip starts to erode, then the tip clearance increases, which increases the over-tip leakage flow, resulting in reduced stage efficiency and ultimately, the engine lifetime. …”
