Atmosphärische-Primär-Zonen Prüfstand


Der Prüfstand wurde konzipiert, um Luftstromzerstäuberdüsen für die schadstoffarme Verbrennung zu untersuchen. Bei den Düsen handelt es sich um Eigenentwicklungen und Düsen von Industriepartnern. Es können sowohl Isotherme Zerstäubungsversuche als auch Experimente in einer Modellbrennkammer mit Luftvorwärmung und Verbrennung durchgeführt werden.

Hochdruck-Kühlungsmessstrecke


Die Temperaturen in Triebwerksbrennkammern liegen mit bis zu 2500 K weit über den zulässigen Materialtemperaturen der Brennkammerwand. Daher ist eine intensive Kühlung der Brennkammerwand erforderlich, wofür ein erheblicher Anteil der vom Verdichter in das Triebwerk geförderten Luft genutzt wird. Für zukünftige leistungsstärkere effizientere und schadstoffarme Triebwerke muss der Anteil der Kühlluft drastisch verringert werden. Dafür bedarf es fortschrittlicher und neu zu entwickelnder Wand- und Kühlkonzepte.

Turbomachinery noise test rigs, Berlin


The analysis of the sound field emitted by turbomachines helps to understand the mechanisms of how turbomachinery noise is generated and is a basic requirement for the development of noise reduction methods.

Low Speed Cascade Tunnel, Göttingen (NGG)


The NGG is an intermediate running blow down type facility, built up in a similar way as the Windtunnel for Straight Cascades (EGG). Atmospheric air from the wind tunnel hall passes the inlet duct, the test section with the cascade, an adjustable choking diffuser and finally through a valve (o-ring flap) and a pipe system into a large vacuum vessel. The vessel with a capacity of 10000 m³ is constantly evacuated by a set of vacuum pumps, allowing measuring times of up to 20 minutes. The mass flow through the wind tunnel and hence the back pressure or isentropic exit Mach number of the cascade is set by an adjustable diffuser.

Skin friction reduction by means of riblet surfaces, Berlin


Skin friction reducing riblet surfaces consist of very small grooves with sharp ridges which have to be aligned with the mean flow. The grooves have to be designed in a way that they appear to the flow as a hydrodynamically smooth surface, i.e. they are almost completely submerged in the viscous sublayer. The skin friction reduction is obtained by the reduction of the turbulent spanwise motion near the wall.

Radial Compressor Cologne


Radial (centrifugal) compressors can  be built rather compact and are known to be robust in handling. They find their widespread application in aero-engines of small- and medium power.

The Probe Calibration Facility, Göttingen (SEG)


Pneumatic probes are still useful tools when investigating flow fields within turbomachines, cascades or any other aerodynamic facilities. Due to the fact that flow velocity and flow direction cannot be measured directly by the probes as well as due to inaccuracies when manufacturing the probe heads, a calibration process in flow fields with well known and constant flow conditions is necessary.

Subsonic Cascade Tunnel, Berlin


The secondary flow at the sidewalls (casing, hub) is causing the corner separation on the suction side of the vane which is responsible for losses and the decrease of the achievable pressure ratio in a compressor stage. By the use of methods of the high lift aerodynamics of airplanes it is possible to eliminate or at least to reduce the flow separation.

Turbine test facility NGTurb


The new turbine test facility at DLR in Göttingen, called Next Generation Turbine Test Facility (NG-Turb). Both capable of simulating the main flow parameters of future high-performance turbines (e.g. higher pressure ratios, more stages, extension to low pressure turbines etc.) and enough size to enable more detailed measurements during the experiments.

The Straight Cascade Tunnel Göttingen (EGG)


For the experimental and theoretical development of bladings for axial flow turbomachines the simulation of the two-dimensional flow field by a straight cascade is a very helpful and versatile tool. An infinitely long linear cascade is obtained by geometrically developing a cylindrical (blade-to-blade) intersection of the blade row into the plane. A real straight cascade, installed into a winndtunnel, consists of a finite number of profiles taken from that infinitely long linear cascade. The straight cascade tunnel at DLR Göttingen is of the blowdown type with atmospheric inlet.

The Rotating Cascade Tunnel Göttingen (RGG)


The DLR tunnel for rotating cascades was in particular designed and built for the testing of annular cascades for turbines in a wide range of parameters. Nevertheless an essential design goal was to create a facility which is as versatile as possible. Consequently it is now mostly used to investigate turbine stages.
