Revolutionary turbine blade tip designs are critical for minimizing tip leakage losses in gas turbines. Several innovative designs, such as flat tips, squealer tips, tips with winglets and honeycomb cavities, have shown the potential to mitigate this problem.
Honeycomb tips offer a solution for mitigating turbine tip leakage flows. The tips are highly effective outperforming conventional flat tips.
Squealer tips provide a solution to various challenges in the tip gap region, such as reducing tip leakage flow and protecting blade tips from high-temperature gases. Further, they also improve design clearance through their sealing properties.
