Unsteady Numerical Study of Wet Steam Flow in a Low Pressure Steam Turbine

In steam power plants condensation already starts in the flow path of the low pressure part of the steam turbine, which leads to a complex three-dimensional two-phase flow. Wetness losses are caused due to thermodynamic and mechanical relaxation processes during condensation and droplet transport.
