The main goal of this project was to contribute to the improvement of global performance in turbomachinery by the means of developing new unsteady design methods. One particular key issue is the unsteady transition from laminar to turbulent flow. Laminar to turbulent transition typically occurs in LP turbines at Reynolds numbers lying between 80 000 and 300 000. It can be due to natural boundary layer development (natural transition), to turbulence diffusion from the main flow into the boundary layer (bypass transition), to unsteady effects such as wake passing along the suction side (wake induced transition) or downstream potential blade row interaction, or may be tripped by dedicated blade surface roughness elements.

The original research objectives resulted from the need to improve physical understanding as well as analytical and numerical modeling capacities of this phenomenon in axial turbomachines with a special emphasis on wake or potential interaction induced transition in LP turbines.

To address these issues, the project was divided into 4 main areas of interest (Work Packages) : Assessment and development of RANS-based transition models and CFD methodologies The objective is the investigation of advanced RANS/URANS and hybrid URANS/LES models to study boundary layer transition caused by wake-blade interactions, potential interactions and blade surface roughness. The outcoming developed transition-models have been distributed to the industrial partners in order to test and validate industrial CFD codes against selected test cases. Experimental investigations of the different effects causing transition.

Physical understanding – modeling – implementation in CFD – analysis (Work Packages 1 & 3) : The following models have been newly developed and collectively tested and evaluated :
- PUIM tested by UCAM, TUCz, Snecma and Alstom : this method is based on various empirical correlations with a given validity range. It performed well to predict attached and separated transition process. Wake boundary layer interaction was predicted with good qualitative and quantitative agreement for variety of geometrical configuration.
-
Integrated approximate eN method tested by KTH, MTU, ITP and VAC : this method is simple

Dissemination by research institutes materialized through technical publications, reports, seminars, work shops and short courses available to third parties in line with EU policy. Partners concerned with education have made the use of UTAT knowledge on a regular basis for education of undergraduate and graduate students as well as of professional engineers. Exploitation by the industrial partners comprised intensive use of the newly generated technology and design procedures in their own low Reynolds number applications, where the benefits of transition control were incorporated at the design stage.
