A Survey Of Hot Streak Experiments And Simulations

Experimental and computational data have shown that the flow exiting gas-turbine combustors can contain large circumferential and radial temperature non-uniformities. The temperature non-uniformities, or hot streaks, can have a significant impact on the performance and durability of first-stage turbine airfoils. This paper contains a survey of the hot streak experiments and simulations that have been performed during the last two decades, and the impact they have had on the design of high-pressure turbine stages.
