Aerothermodynamics Technical Working Group: 2008 Turbomachinery Technology Assessment and Recommendations

This report documents the 2008 Turbomachinery Technology Assessment and Recommendations of the NASA-led Aerothermodynamics Technical Working Group (TWG). It includes technology review, assessment, and recommendation for future research and development. The areas covered are summarized as follows. Inlet Flow Distortion Sensitivity and Stability, Tip Leakage Flows in High-Pressure Cores, Endwall Contouring, Turbine Tip Flows, Combustor and Cooled-Turbine Interaction, Highly Loaded Low-Pressure Turbines.

Controlling Separation in Turbomachines

Four examples of flow control: 1) Passive control of LP turbine blades (Laminar separation control). 2) Aspiration of a conventional axial compressor blade (Turbulent separation control). 3) Compressor blade designed for aspiration (Turbulent separation control). 4.Control of intakes in crosswinds (Turbulent separation control).
