Abstract In the future, the wide speed and altitude range aviation engine will have features such as "wide range of high-bypass-ratio adjustment" and "wide range of high-pressure-ratio adjustment". Therefore, its turbine will work in a very wide range of operating conditions, with a large flow regulation range. Under conditions of high-rate flow regulation, existing flow control technologies can significantly reduce turbine efficiency. To support the performance and technical specifications of future engines, their low-pressure turbines need to maintain high operational efficiency within a flow regulation range and power output range that exceed those of current aircraft engines.

Abstract In turbomachinery, strong secondary flow can produce significant losses of total pressure near the endwall and reduce the efficiency of the considered turbomachine. In this study, splitters located at different positions with respect to the main blade have been used to reduce such losses and improve the efficiency of the outlet guide vane (OGV). Three different relative positions have been considered assuming a NACA 65-010 profile for both the main blade and the splitter. The numerical results indicate that splitters can effectively reduce the total pressure loss by suppressing the secondary flow around the main More >
