Aerodynamics of a Transonic Turbine Vane with a 3D Contoured Endwall, Upstream Purge Flow, and a Backward-Facing Step

This experiment investigated the effects of a non-axisymmetric endwall contour and upstream purge flow on the secondary flow of an inlet guide vane. Three cases were tested in a transonic wind tunnel with an exit Mach number of 0.93-a flat endwall with no upstream purge flow, the same flat endwall w...
