GT CFD Simulation

An axial flow turbine has the same structure as the axial compressor but works in reverse. In other words, the axial flow turbine converts the fluid flow into rotating mechanical energy. In the axial flow turbine, the gas flows through an annular passage surrounding the rotating power output shaft, in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of the shaft. The loss of energy causes the pressure and temperature of the gas to fall from turbine inlet to outlet, and necessitates the use of an increasing passage area (normal to the flow) to restrain the flow to a constant velocity.
