Industria de Turbo Propul sores Madrid SPAIN Abstract The techniques employed in high speed linear cascade testing to simulate the effect of unsteadiness are presented and compared with low speed counterparts. Results are obtained from a high speed cascade and a low speed cascade. Both are models of an existing conventional low pressure turbine blade. They are compared under steady and unsteady lbw conditions. The results show that the same quantitative values of losses are obtained proving the validity of the low speed approach for profiles with an exit Mach number of the order of . The range of validity of the conclusions is extended by reference to a profile designed using current low pressure turbine design practice. Wake traverses using pneumatic probes reveal that the unsteadiness reduced the profile losses up to Mach numbers of 1. Introduction The development of the low pressure turbine LPT has reached a stage where rises in efficiency are difficult to obtain. Furthermore the LPT could represent one third of the total engine weight. Therefore one of the current trends that designers have adopted is to improve the overall performance of the LPT by reducing its weight. This new philosophy leads to fewer blades each of which carries a greater aerodynamic load. The LPT operates at the lowest Reynolds number in the whole .
