Passage shaping in axial flow turbines

This thesis describes the novel combination of reverse compound lean, leading edge extension and non-axisymmetric endwall profiling in a highly loaded turbine geometry, for the reduction of secondary flow and loss. The thesis describes each geometrical modification in turn (in addition to their comb...
