Abstract: | Due to the serious flow separations and centralized vortices, there are high secondary losses in highly loaded turbines. It
is imperative to find measures to control the flow separation and vortices hence improve the turbine performance. This paper
reports our recent progress on flow separation and vortices control in highly loaded turbine cascades by using bowed blades.
Two sets of highly loaded turbine cascades with the turning angles of 113° and 160°, and each with 7 bowed blade angles 0°
(straight), ±10°, ±20° and ±30° were experimentally investigated. Both internal flow field measurement and flow visualization
on the blade surfaces were conducted, and the effects of blade bowing on the flow topology, distribution of vorticity and
the flow energy loss were discussed. The results show that, for the cascade with the turning angle of 113°, the appropriately
positive bow angle could reduce the flow energy loss; whereas for the cascade with the turning angle of 160°, the well selected
negative bow angle can give the better aerodynamic performance.
