Turbulent Kinetic Energy Production in the Vane of a Low-Pressure Linear Turbine Cascade with Incoming Wakes

Incompressible large eddy simulation and direct numerical simulation of a low-pressure turbine at Re=5.18×104 and 1.48×105 with discrete incoming wakes are analyzed to identify the turbulent kinetic energy generation mechanism outside of the blade boundary layer. The results highlight the growth of...
