Radial Inflow Turbine Study

Abstract

The radial inflow turbine is a primary component used both in small gas turbines and turbochargers. Better understanding of the flow processes occurring within the small passages of the machine could well result in the improved design of units. As most of the detailed aerodynamics is still ill- defined, a joint research project with the objective of improving our understanding has been instigated. This document describes the manufacture of the window arrangement, the preparation of seeding systems for the laser anemometer, assembly and trial of the anemometer.
