Abstract
In the recent years, aircraft engine manufacturers have set ambitious goals concerning the maximization of efficiency and the reduction of noise and fuel consumption. The design of the next-generation propulsion units plays a key role in addressing this challenge. The development of innovative and green engine architectures introduces challenging operating conditions for the low-pressure turbine such as transonic Mach and low-Reynolds numbers. In the frame of the EU-funded project SPLEEN commissioned by Safran Aircraft Engines, aimed at investigating the combined effect of secondary and leakage flows under modern engine-scaled flow conditions, the development of an advanced technique of surface pressure measurement applied in the linear cascade of the S-1/C wind tunnel at the von Karman Institute is of major importance for understanding the aerodynamic performance.
Based on the oxygen quenching kinematics of luminescence, the optical measurement technique of Pressure Sensitive Paint aims at measuring the 2D surface pressure field on complex geometries, offering incredible advantages in terms of non-intrusiveness, high spatial resolution and low application costs compared to conventional measurement techniques
