Flow separation that occurs over low-pressure turbine blades at low Reynolds numbers has been a cause of concern due to its detrimental effect on engine performance. In the present study, the effect of microjet actuation, a low-mass, high-momentum device, is demonstrated for the elimination of separation on a low-pressure turbine blade over a wide range of Reynolds numbers using a range of complementary diagnostics, which include the surface pressure, velocity field, and wake-loss measurements. The U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory L1A low-pressure turbine blade used in this study is a highly aftloaded profile that experiences a nonreattaching separation at approximately 60% axial chord at low Reynolds numbers. Baseline blade pressure distributions as well as wake-loss coefficient measurements show that the blade experiences nonreattaching separation for Reynolds numbers based on axial chord less than 50,000 for a freestream turbulence intensity of 1% with steady inlet conditions.
