EXPERIMENTAL AND NUMERICAL ASSESSMENT OF A LAST STAGE ST BLADE DAMPING AT LOW LOAD OPERATION

As LP steam turbines are requested to work at strong part-loads, LSB stalled and unstalled flutter may occur. Testing on a downscaled steam turbine in T10MW test plant have been carried out to measure LSB aggregated damping at low load. Also numerical analysis to predict aerodynamic damping have bee...

Description
Summary:As LP steam turbines are requested to work at strong part-loads, LSB stalled and unstalled flutter may occur. Testing on a downscaled steam turbine in T10MW test plant have been carried out to measure LSB aggregated damping at low load. Also numerical analysis to predict aerodynamic damping have been performed and results have been compared to experimental data, allowing software tool validation at low load.
