We are pleased to share the news that a paper by Prof. Budimir Rosic and Oguzhan Marat has won the Best Paper Award at this year’s ASME Turbo Expo Technical Conference.
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) Turbo Expo Technical Conference is recognised as the world’s leading conference on all aspects of gas turbine technologies. Each year the Committees have an opportunity to select a paper(s) published at ASME TURBO EXPO to receive their Committee’s Best Paper Award. This is an opportunity to recognize outstanding technical papers, to acknowledge the author’s contributions to the gas turbine industry, and to support and maintain the high quality of papers presented by each Committee.
More information about the award can be found here.
The technical paper is etitled “Experimental and Numerical Study for Improved Understanding of Mixed-Convection Type of Flows in Turbine Casing Cavities During Shut-Down Regimes” which was presented at the 2021 Virtual Turbo Expo by Oguzhan. This research has been sponsored by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI), which introduces a novel engine realistic experimental facility designed for extensive investigations on mixed convective flows occurring inside turbine casings during shutdown regimes. Unique data set as well as the findings from the experimentally validated scale resolving simulations were presented for improved understanding of complex flow interactions of mixed convection type of flows to enable flexible operations of future power generation systems with presence of renewable sources. This paper was awarded the Best Paper Award by the Steam Turbine Committee; the award itself was presented to Oguzhan during ASME Turbo Expo 2022 in Rotterdam.
