... within turbine blades. In addition to the smooth surface case (baseline case), the cases with 45 deg angled ribs and turning vanes are also included in this work. For several designs, the effect of channel orientation with respect to the angle of rotation is also investigated. This work covers a wide...

... section connects the mid-lines of the two passes. Two orientations of 45 deg angled ribs were considered in this work: unusual and criss-cross. The ribs have a profiled cross section and were placed in-line (P/e = 10, e/H = 0.16) on the leading and trailing surfaces of the channel. Five inlet Reynolds...
