Flow Field Computations of Combustor-Turbine Interactions in a Gas Turbine Engine

The current demands for higher performance in gas turbine engines can be reached by raising combustion temperatures to increase thermal efficiency. Hot combustion temperatures create a harsh environment which leads to the consideration of the durability of the combustor and turbine sections. Improve...
