But in real engine, the turbine annulus geometry is not completely smooth for the presence of the shroud and associated cavity near the end wall. Besides, shroud leakage flow is one of the dominant sources of secondary flow in tur- bomachinery, which not only causes a deterioration of useful work but also a penalty on turbine efficiency. It has been found that neglect shroud leakage flow makes the computed velocity profiles and loss distribution signifi- cantly different to those measured. Even so, the influence of shroud leakage flow is seldom taken into considera- tion during the routine of turbine design due to insufficient understanding of its impact on end wall flows and tur- bine performance.

The overall performance and aerodynamic configuration predicted by the procedure, both at design- and part-speed conditions, are analyzed and compared with experimental results, which show a good agreement.
