Methods for Controlling Gas Turbine Casing Flows During Engine Shutdown

During the shutdown of a gas turbine, natural convection flows occur inside of the engine casing. These natural convection flows cause the top of the engine casing to cool more slowly than the bottom of the casing. This non-uniform cooling can cause the casing to distort, known as “cat-bac...
