Abstract

Preliminary high-fidelity simulations of the MTU T161 low pressure turbine cascade with diverging end walls have been performed on massively parallel computational resources with four different high-order methods at outlet isentropic Mach number M2s= 0.601 and two outlet isentropic Reynolds numbers, namely Re2s=90K and Re2s=200K. First the flow regime and the boundary conditions are thoroughly described. The implementation of each method is then briefly introduced before the main results are presented. The main flow features of this test case have been qualitatively highlighted by these simulations. However, discrepancies have been observed quantitatively in terms of separation point on the suction side of the blade, especially at the lowest Reynolds. These simulations relied mainly on a laminar boundary layer at the inlet of the domain, which is likely the root cause of the observed discrepancies. Additional simulations with turbulent boundary layer imposed at the inlet are required to characterize the flow separation based on the turbulence intensity at the inlet.
