: An experimental study of the aerodynamic characteristics of GTE interturbine duct with struts in conditions of aerodynamic wakes simulated with a model wheel.

Abstract

The article presents the results of an experimental study of the aerodynamic characteristics of interturbine duct with struts in the conditions of aerodynamic wakes from a high pressure turbine simulated using a model wheel. Variants for axial located profile struts and flow oriented struts are considered. Data on the internal loss coefficients of interturbine duct with different struts position in the conditions of rotating aerodynamic wakes are obtained. Data on the distribution of pressure coefficients for profile strut in the conditions of rotating aerodynamic wakes are obtained.
