1. Forced response numerical investigation of a transonic compressor rotor
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : The present thesis discusses the forced response of a rotor’s bladed-disk when excited by the periodic force produced by a wake generator, or Inlet Guide Vane (IGV),with 8 equally-spaced blades. These components are part of an axial transonic compressor rig, moreover the Transonic Compressor Darmstadt 1 (TCD1), located at the Technical University of Darmstadt. READ MORE

2. Process monitoring of turbine blades : Monitoring of blade tip clearance using eddy current sensors
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : This thesis has been a collaboration between the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) and Siemens Energy which invest in the research facility at KTH. The objective was to investigate the use of eddy current sensors in real-time monitoring of turbine blades. READ MORE

3. Influence on tip leakage flow in a compressor cascade with plasma actuation
University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)Abstract : As one of the key components of aero engines, compressor is required to endure higher pressure, possess higher efficiency and wider operating range. Intensive studies have been made on tip leakage flow and researchers find that by reasonably organizing tip leakage flow, aero engines are more likely to achieve better performance and reliability.

4. Investigation of performance and surge behavior of centrifugal compressors through CFD simulations
University essay from KTH/MekanikAbstract : The use of turbocharged Diesel engines is nowadays a widespread practice in the automotive sector: heavy-duty vehicles like trucks or buses, in particular, are often equipped with turbocharged engines. An accurate study of the flow field developing inside both the main components of a turbocharger, i.e. READ MORE

5. Study of tip clearance flows
University essay from KTH/FlygdynamikAbstract : The tip leakage vortex is responsible for the generation of stagnation pressure losses inside the compressor along with the outbreak of rotating stall and surge. The current paper analytically proved that a part of the losses is proportional to the vortex circulation squared. READ MORE
