If you look again at the image "TurbineRing" you can see that if the exhaust from the combustor would strike the front of the blades toward the center of the ring spinning each ring.
As the rings spin, the back side of the blades compresses air towards the center and back through the engine...
Most likely, airflow will be initiated from a turbocharger, then bled from the engine.
The combustor is basically a rocket engine thus producing thrust above the speed of sound.
The exhaust gasses from the combustor act upon the turbine blades causing each ring to spin.
The curve of each...
Thanks for both your replies.
I won’t pretend that I have all the answers and there are obvious bugs that would need to be worked out.
The combustor is in the intake, Figure 3.
Thrust is directed toward the rear of the engine and the only way for it to come out the intake is for its energy to...
I am interested in the fluid dynamics of a turbine engine that compresses its exhaust gasses along its centerline.
