Experimental and Computational Study of Heat Transfer on a Turbine Blade Tip with a Shelf

Cooling of turbine parts in a gas turbine engine is necessary for operation as the temperature of combustion gases is higher than the melting temperature of the turbine materials. The gap between rotating turbine blades and the stationary shroud provides an unintended flow path for hot gases. Gases...
