Various strategies for enhancing the low-pressure cylinder, incorporating a novel approach, which was not previously employed in low-speed high-power steam turbines, have been identified. The flow part redesign has been carried out through the comprehensive methodology and software imple-mented in the IPMFlow package. This methodology encompasses gas-dynamic computations of varying complexities and ana-lytical profiling methods for spatial blade row shapes based on a limited set of parameterized values. Real thermodynamic prop-erties of water and steam were considered in 3D turbulent flow calculations. The final stage involved end-to-end 3D computations of the 7-stage low-pressure cylinder, employing parallel computing technology. The results indicate that the innovative solutions incorporated in the developed low-pressure cylinder led to a substantial increase in both efficiency and power.}, title={Application of innovative solutions to improve the efficiency of the low-pressure cylinder flow part of a 1000 MW steam turbine for nuclear power plant}, type={Article}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/133412/12_AOT_4-2024_Rusanov_703.pdf}, doi={10.24425/ather.2024.152003}, keywords={Flow part, Low-pressure cylinder, Meridional contours, Low-speed steam turbine, Spatial flow}, }
