INSPIRE INSpiring Pressure gain combustion Integration, Research, and Education

ESR12 Panagiotis Gallis presented 2 papers in ASME TurboExpo 2024

  5 July 2024

Panagiotis presented two papers at ASME International Gas Turbine Institute Turbo Expo 2024.
The work was performed at Politecnico di Torino under the framework of the INSPIRE MSCA-ETN Project:

Panagiotis G., Misul D.A., Boust B., Bellenoue M., Salvadori S.2024. Numerical Analysis and Design of New Exhaust Section Downstream of Constant Volume Combustor. Proc. of the ASME Turbo Expo 2024, London, UK, June 24–28, 2024, Paper No. GT2024-129204
This paper describes the design using CFD analysis of an effective exhaust section downstream of a CVC that mounts this type of PGC with a High-Pressure Turbine Vane.


Panagiotis G. Salvadori S., Misul D.A., 2024. Numerical Analysis of a Flow Control System for High-Pressure Turbine Vanes Subject to Highly Oscillating Inflow Conditions. Proc. of the ASME Turbo Expo 2024, London, UK, June 24–28, 2024, Paper No. GT2024-126791.

This work focused on the design of a High-Pressure Turbine vane with diffusive endwalls which can ingest the high enthalpy flow of a Rotating Detonation Engine. Moreover, a flow control concept is proposed aiming at supressing the motion of the enlarged secondary flows of the newly designed cascade.
