الوصف: Gas turbine engines are generally optimized to operate at nearly a fixed speed with fixed blade geometries for the design operating condition. The performance of gas turbine reduces when operated at different operating condition. In this work, we present a parametric study to optimize gas-turbine performance under off-design conditions by articulating the rotor blades in both clockwise and counterclockwise directions. Articulating the pitch angle of turbine blades in coordination with adjustable nozzle vanes can improve performance by maintaining flow incidence angles within the optimum range at certain off-design conditions. To observe the effect of rotor pitching on the performance of the gas turbine, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) study is performed using the finite element formulation for compressible flows with moving domain. Results obtained from the CFD simulation for different rotor pitch angles are presented in this paper.
