... research facility used for the study is an engine scale, short duration, rotating transonic turbine, in which the nondimensional parameters for aerodynamics and heat transfer are matched to engine conditions. The research turbine was the unshrouded MT1 design. By design, the center of the vortex from...

... Facility (TTF). The swirl simulator is capable of generating engine-representative combustor exit swirl distributions at the turbine inlet, with yaw and pitch angles of up to ± 40 deg. The turbine test facility is an engine scale, short duration, rotating transonic turbine facility, which simulates...
