Abstract

The current paper presents steady and unsteady flow data of a transonic test turbine stage operating under flow conditions similar to modern highly loaded gas turbines. Measurements were performed between stator and rotor as well as downstream of the rotor in planes perpendicular to the rotor axis. Time resolved axial and tangential velocities were measured by a two-component Laser Doppler Velocimeter (LDV) to investigate unsteady phenomena, while time-averaged flow properties were measured by means of a pneumatic seven-hole probe for all three spatial directions. The time-resolved investigation done by LDV allows to present velocity fields, flow angles and turbulence data at different stator-rotor positions during one blade passing period. Averaging these results enabled comparison with the pneumatic multi-hole probe measurement. LDV data and stage geometry can be obtained per email request and used for CFD code verification.
