| Abstract | As LP steam turbines are asked to work at strong part-loads, LSB stalled and unstalled flutter may occur. Testing on a downscaled steam turbine in T10 MW test plant have been carried out to measure LSB aggregated damping at low load. Also numerical analysis to predict aerodynamic damping have been done, and results have been compared to experimental data allowing software tool validation at low load. |
