Comment
PropComb Variable Mach (low subsonic to supersonic) and Reynolds (take-off to cruise) number
1 ½ turbine stage. Aero-thermal performance determination, rotor/stator and
rotor/rotor interaction (possibly time resolved). Aero-engine similarity conditions,
including film cooling. Short duration facility (< 1 sec).
