This paper presents an analysis of factors causing the change in the real gage factor of high-temperature strain gages installed with ceramic cements. A calibration tool to mimic the load on the strain gage during the testing of gas turbines and to d...

A numerical study was conducted to identify the mechanisms involved in the destabilisation of centrifugal compressors with vaneless diffusers. A stability analysis—carried out on the rotating and fixed parts of the studied machines—showed...

A cost-effective solution to address the challenges posed by sensitive instrumentation in next-gen turbomachinery components is to reduce the number of measurement samples required to assess complex flows. This study investigates Gaussian Process (GP...

Computational models of turbofans that are oriented to assist the design and testing of innovative components are of fundamental importance in order to reduce their environmental impact. In this paper, we present an effective method for developing nu...

The German Aerospace Center designed, aero-mechanically optimized and experimentally investigated its own counter-rotating shrouded fan stage in the frame of the project CRISPmulti. Their target and the motivation of this work was, on the one hand, t...

The design complexity of the new generation of civil aero-engines results in higher demands on engines’ components, higher component temperatures, higher heat generation, and, finally, critical thermal management issues. This paper will propose...

In turbomachinery, geometric variances of the blades, due to manufacturing tolerances, deterioration over a lifetime, or blade repair, can influence overall aerodynamic performance as well as aeroelastic behaviour. In cooled turbine blades, such devi...
