...S. J. Payne; A. J. W. Moxon The aspirating probe has recently been successfully used to measure entropy within a turbomachine; however, it was found that its sensitivity to total pressure and total temperature fluctuations was significantly altered at high frequencies. If the aspirating probe...

The viscous terms are discretized using a standard Galerkin finite element scheme. The eddy viscosity is evaluated by means of the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence transport equation...

While the measurement position remained fixed, the nozzle guide vane (NGV) was “clocked” to 12 positions covering one NGV pitch. The periodic fluctuations of the total pressure downstream of the turbine stage indicate that the NGV...

Evidence was gathered that suggests that relatively low-frequency, large-scale eddies in the free stream buffet the boundary layer, causing boundary layer unsteadiness at the same low frequencies. These fluctuations are present in both transitional and fully turbulent boundary layers...
