Unsteady forces of rotor blades in full and partial admission turbines
A numerical and experimental study of partial admission in a low reaction two-stage axial air test turbine is performed in this paper. In order to model one part load configuration, corresponding to zero flow in one of the admission arcs, the inlet was blocked at one segmental arc, at the leading edge of the first stage guide vanes. Due to the unsymmetrical geometry, the full annulus of the turbin
