Integrated RANS-LES Computations of Turbomachinery Components: Generic Compressor/DiffuserThe goal of the current study is to apply the coupled RANS-LES approach to a compressor-diffuser geometry of a gas turbine. This flow configuration is important, since the outflow of the compressor alters the flow field in the subsequent diffuser. A detailed knowledge of the flow field in this section allows to optimize the difuser design in order to to achieve a decrease of pressure loss. Here, the NASA stage 35 compressor is coupled with a generic diffuser in order to assess the integrated RANS-LES approach.
