This paper presents a study conducted on a new gas turbine designed to limit leakage in the labyrinth seal. The slots in the fin are used to generate a bypass flow, which obstructs the flow in the gap above the fin. The method was tested numerically and experimentally beforehand using a simplified model without rotation or blade passages. In this paper, the validation of the method using a model of a turbine stage is shown. Reynolds-averaged...

Wind energy being a free source of energy is becoming popular over the past decades and is being studied extensively. Integration of wind turbines is now being expanded to urban and offshore settings in contrast to the conventional wind farms in relatively open areas. The direct installation of wind turbines poses a potential risk, as it may result in financial losses in scenarios characterized by inadequate wind resource availability....

Paper presents experimental investigations results for film cooling on a flat plate. The main objective of the design is the streamwise pressure distribution on the flat plate as in the blade cascade. The transient and steady-state technique with liquid crystals for the surface temperature distribution with film cooling has been used in experiments in a low speed wind tunnel.
