Optimal Design and Acoustic Assessment of Low-Vibration Rotor Blades by G. Bernardini, E. Piccione, A. Anobile, J. Serafini, M. Gennaretti

“…The process exploits an aeroelastic solver that is based on a nonlinear, beam-like model, suited for the analysis of arbitrary curved-elastic-axis blades, with the introduction of a surrogate wake inflow model for the analysis of sectional aerodynamic loads. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the capability of the proposed approach to identify low vibratory hub loads rotor blades as well as to assess the robustness of solution at off-design operating conditions. …”

Film Effectiveness Downstream the Trenches with Tilted Target Wall by Fan Yang, Mohammad E. Taslim

“…Numerous film hole geometries have been the subject of investigation by many researchers over the past three decades with the aim of keeping the target wall under the maximum allowable temperature with the least amount of precious cooling air and minimum aerodynamic losses. In this study, we are proposing a new trench geometry that is fed by 30°-inclined embedded circular film holes entering from the trench sidewall. …”

Liquid Self-Balancing Device Effects on Flexible Rotor Stability by Leonardo Urbiola-Soto, Marcelo Lopez-Parra

“…An analytical model is introduced to study the effects of the active fluid mass fraction on a flexible rotor supported by flexible supports excited by bwo different destabilizing mechanisms; rotor internal friction damping and aerodynamic cross-coupling. It is found that the fluid radial and traverse forces contribute to the balancing action and to improve the rotor stability, respectively.…”
