Effect of Non-Uniform Nozzle Vane Tip Clearance on the Aerodynamic Performance of a Supersonic Variable Nozzle Turbine
The clearance of the nozzle vane significantly influences the aerodynamic performance of variable nozzle turbines (VNTs), often leading to increased flow losses and performance degradation. Although nozzle vane clearance often exhibits a non-uniform distribution due to corrosion, wear, machining tolerances, or assembly...
