This blog highlights some research efforts aimed at simulating the wake passing effect in a low pressure turbine cascade, analysed over the entire operating range. The incoming disturbances modify the physical transition mechanism on the suction surface, giving rise to complex flow phenomena.
A T106A low pressure turbine vane was investigated at moderate regime (Re = 88450), exploring the convergence properties of the main flow statistics with the aim of developing a set of best practices to achieve DNS resolution.
