Radial Inflow Turbine Study.

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA240169 | Open PDF

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 by Cranfield, the US Army and Turbomach San Diego. This document describes the early attempts at obtaining measurements downstream of the rotor and provides some results.
