Gas Turbines Internal Flow Systems Modeling
Gas Turbines Internal Flow Systems Modeling is the culmination of three decades of continuous learning in gas turbine industry and a decade of teaching graduate-level courses in turbo machinery and fluid mechanics at UCF. It has taken this long for me to study the fascinating, and sometimes counter-intuitive, world of gas turbine secondary flow systems to the point that I can present the most complex topics in a simplified way that will make learning these topics contagious.
This is the age of gas turbines with their ever-growing contributions to people’s living standard and well-being. As a great technological marvel, perhaps next only to the inventions of electricity and light bulb, gas turbines have become indispensable in commercial aviation, shrinking the travel time around the globe in hours rather than days and weeks as was the case in the early 1990 s by sea. Almost all modern military fighter jets with high maneuverability deploy gas turbine engines. Even in liquid rocket propulsion, gas turbines are used to pump liquid fuel and oxidizer to the combustion chamber at high pressure.

The book employs physics-based, design-oriented methodology to compute windage and swirl distributions in a complex rotor cavity formed by surfaces with arbitrary rotation, counter-rotation, and no rotation.
