Abstract
The effect of pressure-side opening length on three-dimensional flow fields and aerodynamic losses downstream of a cavity squealer tip has been investigated in a turbine rotor cascade for the squealer rim height-to-chord ratio and tip gap height-tochord ratio of h<SUB>st</SUB>/c = 5.05% and h/c = 2.0% respectively. The opening length-to-camber ratio is changed to be OL/c<SUB>c</SUB> = 0.0, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, and 0.7 The results show that longer OL leads not only to weaker secondary flow but also to lower aerodynamic loss in the tip leakage vortex region, while it significantly widens the area with high aerodynamic loss in the passage vortex region. The aerodynamic loss coefficient mass-averaged all over the measurement plane is kept almost constant for 0.0 ≤ OL/c<SUB>c</SUB> ≤ 0.3, whereas it increases rapidly for OL/c<SUB>c</SUB> > 0.3 in proportion to OL/c<SUB>c</SUB>. There is little deterioration in flow turning with increasing OL/c<SUB>c</SUB>.
