Influence of Shock Wave on Loss and Breakdown of Tip-Leakage Vortex in Turbine Rotor with Varying Backpressure

In modern turbine rotors, tip-leakage flow is a common phenomenon that accounts for about 1/3 of the stage loss. Studies show that as the imposed load increases, a shock wave appears in the tip region, which causes a significant interference on the leakage vortex. In the present study, numerical sim...
