Effect of the Radial Pressure Gradient on the Secondary Flow Generated in an Annular Turbine Cascade

This paper introduces an investigation of the effect of radial pressure gradient on the secondary flow generated in turbine cascades. Laboratory measurements were performed using an annular sector cascade which allowed the investigation using relatively small number of blades. The flow was measured...
