Basic experimental data has been obtained from a linear cascade of five turbine airfoil sections undergoing torsional oscillation. A high-turning subsonic/transonic cascade was tested and both steady-state and time-variant data were obtained. A quasi-static investigation was conducted to compare static pressure distributions with the pressure distributions from the time-variant investigation. During the time-variant data acquisition, six values of interblade phase angle were investigated at each of four expansion ratios. Unsteady pressures were measured by flush-mounted Kulite pressure transducers on the center airfoil and compared with an oscillating flat-plate cascade analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
