Numerical Study on the Biomimetic Trailing Edge of a Turbine Blade Under a Wide Range of Outlet Mach Numbers

This study was carried out to investigate the loss mechanism of a blade with a harbor seal whisker structure on the trailing edge under different Mach numbers. The loss of high-pressure turbine blades with four different trailing edge geometries, including a prototype, an elliptical trailing edge (E...

The delayed detached-eddy simulation method is used to predict the detailed flow of the four cascades.
