Description:
The primary cause of losses in a turbine is the boundary layer that builds up on the blade and end-wall surfaces. Analytical and experimental methods for determining the friction, trailing edge, and mixing losses associated with the boundary layer are reported. The theory presented herein refers primarily to two dimensional blade section boundary layers. Methods for obtaining three dimensional blade plus end wall losses from the two-dimensional results are also discussed.
