Diffusion rate influences on inter-turbine diffusers

Abstract Inter-turbine diffusers are becoming of increasing importance to the aero gas turbine designer to diffuse the flow between the HP (high-pressure) or IP (intermediate-pressure) turbine and the LP (low-pressure) turbine. Diffusing the flow upstream of the LP turbine and raising the mean passage radius increases stage efficiency. These inter-turbine diffusers, which have high curvature, S-shaped geometry and low-energy wakes created by the upstream turbine, together give rise to secondary flows, making the flow fully three-dimensional. Using both experimental measurements and CFD (computational fluid dynamics) predictions, this paper demonstrates how the secondary flow behaviour is controlled by both the duct diffusion rate and upstream wake intensity.
