Investigation of Aerodynamic Profile Losses for a Low-Reaction Steam Turbine Blade

This thesis presents the results of a linear cascade experiment performed on the mean-line and near-tip sections of a low-reaction steam turbine blade and compares them to CFD of the former. The purpose of these tests was the refinement of a proprietary empirical profile loss model. A review of the...
