The Parallel Rotor-Stator Interactions - 3D code developed by Dr. Paul Cizmas and Ravi Subramanya was used to perform the gas turbine simulations highlighted below. The simulated turbine configuration has 1 stage (2 rows) with 1 : 2 vane ratio.

The following images and animations produced by Greg Foss, PSC, show the simulation of the turbine.
