NUMERICAL INVESTIGATION OF BLADE LEADING EDGE CONTOURING BY FILLET AND BASELINE CASE OF A TURBINE VANE : A comparative study of the effect on secondary flow

The understanding of secondary flow behavior has become an important aspect in the design of modern gas turbines. Secondary flow gives rise to aerodynamic losses, distorts the thermal field and affects the flow conditions at the exit of a passage negatively. Therefore, reducing secondary flow is a m...
