To investigate turbine flow fields under realistic conditions, a rotating turbine test facility has been developed at the Inha University Propulsion Laboratory. The experimental facility consists of an air inlet, settling chamber, single turbine stage test section, and diffuser. This turbine has a design flow coefficient of 0.55 and work coefficient of 1.88. The turbine test rig has four features. First, a large scale test section improves space resolution. Second, low speed rpm enhances safety and reduces required power, Third, DC motor/generator is able to regenerate blower power. Fourth, various types of experiment can be carried out.
