Heat transfer characteristics of a high-pressure turbine under combined distorted hot-streak and residual swirl: an unsteady computational study (2022)
Journal Article
Mansouri, Z., & Jefferson-Loveday, R. (2022). Heat transfer characteristics of a high-pressure turbine under combined distorted hot-streak and residual swirl: an unsteady computational study. International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, 195, Article 123143. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijheatmasstransfer.2022.123143

In new generation aero-engines, lean-burn combustors are equipped with swirl injectors in order to reduce pollutant emissions. At the exit of these combustors, the flow is dominated by temperature non-uniformity (hot-streak) and residual swirl. Avail...

Aerodynamic and heat transfer performances of a highly loaded transonic turbine rotor with upstream generic rim seal cavity (2021)
Journal Article
Mansouri, Z. (2021). Aerodynamic and heat transfer performances of a highly loaded transonic turbine rotor with upstream generic rim seal cavity. Propulsion and Power Research, 10(4), 317-331. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jppr.2021.11.003

In turbine disk cavity, rim seals are fitted between the stator and its adjacent rotor disk. A coolant air injected through the turbine disk cavity to prevent the ingress of mainstream hot gases. The purpose of this paper is to investigate numericall... Read More about Aerodynamic and heat transfer performances of a highly loaded transonic turbine rotor with upstream generic rim seal cavity.
