Thermal shock and thermal stress prediction on a highly loaded turbine nozzle guide vane based on an aerodynamic and thermal analysis.

A 2-D plain strain CFD/FEM model to simulate thermal shocks and stresses in a turbine blade has been set up using the commercially available software FLUENT and NASTRAN. The model was validated against the experimental data of Bohn et. al. and used to simulate real test cases. The steady state numer...
