4. Tabulated Results

The first table below gives a summary of the performance results for the turbine rotor. The second table lists the mass or area averaged solution variables and derived quantities computed at the inlet, leading edge (LE Cut), trailing edge (TE Cut) and outlet locations. The flow angles Alpha and Beta are relative to the meridional plane; a positive angle implies that the tangential velocity is the same direction as the machine rotation.
