UniBwM is involved in work package 4.4 "Active Turbine" and is performing high-speed cascade testing. The cascades comprising state-of-the-art low pressure turbine design will be equipped with pulsed turbulation ejection to control boundary layers on the blades.
UniBwM is operating a unique test facility which allows cascade testing with independent variation of Reynolds and Mach number at engine relevant levels.
UniBwM has strong expertise in cascade testing, measurement techniques, turbine aerodynamics and was strongly involved in research on high/ultra high turbine blades designs. The work within DREAM is a logical continuation and extension of latest research activities and allows for participation in the development of new technologies for more efficient turbine designs in colla-boration with industry and other research institutes.
DREAM is a valuable financial source to continue research on turbine aerodynamics, which is a strong benefit for UniBw.
