Investigation of a Highly Loaded Two-Stage Fan-Drive Turbine. Volume VI.

Abstract

An exploratory research program was conducted to develop turbine aerodynamic methods and design procedures for efficient high work, low pressure turbines. This program consisted of various phases, including analyses of promising increased loading concepts, and experimental cascade testing to verify and extend the turbine aerodynamic techniques and design procedures. Based on these findings, a two-stage turbine was designed and evaluated in a rotating cold flow rig in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the techniques.
