Abstract

Laminar separation on the suction side of low-pressure turbine (LPT) blades at low operating Reynolds numbers can degrade overall engine efficiency and impose limitations on the flight envelope. In wind-tunnel experiments it was shown that laminar separation can be controlled by pulsed vortex generator jets. This active-flow-control technology could be transferred to real flight hardware with more confidence if the physical mechanisms involved in the control were better understood. Here, calculations of a linear LPT cascade at a Reynolds number based on axial chord of 2.5 x 10 4 are presented
