Minimizing the losses within a low-pressure turbine (LPT) system is critical for the design of next-generation ultra-high bypass ratio aero-engines. The stator-well cavity windage torque can be a significant source of loss within the system, influenc...

The windage torque on rotational walls has negative effect on the performance of the low pressure turbine. In this paper, three novel flow control concepts (FCCs) were proposed to reduce the windage torque within a turbine stator well, with upstream...
