Assessment of aerodynamic loads in a turbine stage (Stator/Rotor) is complex and depends on the blade/vane passage geometry such the twisting angle along the span, the end wall contouring at the Hub/Root level, and the clearance between the blade tip and the shroud [23]. Therefore, the passage flow is characterized by the boundary layer effects, the secondary flows generated by the passage pressure gradients, and the vortical flow such as: the leading edge ‘‘horse-shoe’’ vortices, tipleakage flow vortices and corner vortices [24].
For the present case study, the minor loads due to the secondary flows are neglected comparing to the other efforts. Fluid dynamics are considered only for the blade’s mid span region located away from the Hub/Root endwall region and the blade Tip/Shroud clearance. In fact, the pressure distribution does not change along most of the blade span or height except near the hub or tip region. The flow is then assumed two dimensional and radial flow is negligible (Fig. 17).
Graphs of Fig. 18 show the pressure and velocity distribution in the midspan plane along a typical blade passage. Measurements and computation of the flow mathematical model have been used to estimate the distribution of the static pressure coefficient Cp, which is determined from the difference of blade surface pressure and reference pressure at the passage inlet dynamic pressure [25,26].
