One-of-a-kind facility
for studying detailed blade/flow interactions at
full scale. High frequency pressure measurements and
laser velocimetry available.
Very flexible facility
for investigations in fundamental fluid mechanics
(boundary layers, shocks). Powerful, rare laser
equipment (3-D L2F) available.
Full-scale annular
sector cascade facility for the investigation of
steady-state flow in nozzle guide vanes with blade
cooling. Tracer gas injection in cooling channels
available.
Unique full-flow
facility for studying fluid dynamics of turbine
blading (1-3 stages). Unsteady wall and traversing
pressure profiles can be measured. Mass flow rates
over 4 kg/s at 4 bar, rotational speeds up to 9000
rpm.
