Investigation of a 0.6 Hub-Tip Radius-Ratio Transonic Turbine Designed for Secondary-Flow Study 2 - Design and Experimental Performance of Turbine With Low-Velocity-Turning Stator and Standard Rotor
Memorandum presenting a low-velocity-turning stator designed to reduce secondary-flow loss cores by turning the flow at low velocities and accelerating it in passages of constant flow angle with reduced cross-channel pressure gradients. Performance of the stator was determined with static-pressure measurements and detailed surveys of total pressure and flow angle made with the turbine operating at design speed near design work.
