GT-AE Presents: Dr. Tom Shih

Primary tabs

The Daniel Guggenheim School of Aerospace Engineering invites interested faculty and students to hear this talk by Dr. Tom Shih, professor and head of the School of Astronautics at Purdue University.  The talk will focus on turbine cooling. Dr. Shih will give examples of CFD/HT validation  to illustrate capabilities and limitations of well-known turbulence models via steady & unsteady RANS and to show problems where LES is needed as well as problems associated with LES.  He will also deliver results that show the challenges of cooling turbine material when heating loads increase suddenly and the effects of averaging the heat-transfer coefficient from CFD/HT or experimental measurements on the predicted cooling requirement.
