The tip flows in modern gas turbines are primarily transonic under realistic conditions and significantly impact the overall thrust performance and safety of the turbines.

This study is aimed at providing a deeper understanding of the mechanisms underlying and controlling the tip flow characteristics.

Particle image velocimetry (PIV) and Schlieren and oil flow visualizations were performed to reveal the basic structure of the tip flow fields.

A computational fluid dynamics model was developed, and the experimental results validated its accuracy.

FLUENT 18.0 was employed to apply the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model and perform two-dimensional calculations that furthered the investigation.

The PIV and Schlieren visualization results indicated that the tip flow accelerated rapidly to the transonic level at the gap inlet separation when the gap pressure ratio exceeded 2.0.

Furthermore, an oblique shock wave was generated when the transonic tip flow reattached and then reflected within the gap.

The oil flow visualization provided the corresponding boundary layer behavior on the bottom wall.

Additionally, the computation of the transonic tip flow with respect to various sizes and pressure values demonstrated that the Reynolds number is the key parameter that controls the gap flow field.

The flow similarity existed as long as the Reynolds number remained constant.

An in-depth analysis of the simulation improved the model performance at predicting the inlet separation size, discharge coefficient, and friction coefficient based on the Reynolds number.

The study results provide a reference for the design and testing of engine blade gaps in real-world conditions.
