An experimental investigation of the effects of incompressible, fully developed, turbulent inlet flow on the performance of straight, two-dimensional rectangular diffusers of low aspect ratio is presented. Results presented include flow regime information, performance curves, and total-pressure loss data for a series of diffusers of moderate non dimensional length and low aspect ratio. The results are compared to existing data and correlations and important differences are noted between the diffusers of this study and diffusers of high aspect ratio with thin to moderately thick turbulent boundary layers at inlet.

The aerodynamic performances of an axial turbine are affected by the distance between the stator and the rotor. Previous studies have shown different trends, depending mainly on whether the turbine is subsonic or not. The present paper aims at improving the understanding of the effect of rows spacing on the flow through a transonic turbine. A one-stage, low aspect ratio, high pressure turbine case is investigated using CFD. Steady and unsteady phase-lagged RANS computations are performed on this configuration with different inter-blade rows distances. The results are successfully compared with experimental data from a cold air turbine rig. Entropy production balances are used to emphasize the main loss areas and the loss variations caused by changes in inter-blade rows distance. Two techniques are compared for computing these balances, and one of them appears to perform much better. The flow features causing these losses are then identified. Finally, an optimal inter-rows spacing is found. It is a compromise between the losses created by strong stator-rotor interactions at small inter-rows gaps and the losses generated at the endwalls in the inter-rows space at large distances.
