Abstract Steam turbine blade is a very complex structure. It has geometric complexities like variation of twist, taper, width and thickness along its length. Most of the time these variations are not uniform. Apart from these geometric complexities, the blades are coupled by means of lacing wire, lacing rod or shroud. Blades are attached to a flexible disc which contributes to the dynamic behavior of the blade. Root fixity also plays an important role in this behavior. There is a considerable variation in the frequencies of blades of newly assembled turbine and frequencies after some hours of running. Again because of manufacturing tolerances there can be some variation in the blade to blade frequencies. Determination of natural frequencies of the blade is therefore a very critical job. Problems associated with typical industrial turbine bladed discs of a 235 MW steam turbine are highlighted in this paper.

In order to verify the improvements in the understanding of the flow in turbomachinery, extensive investigations were carried out at the LP-steam turbine at the University of Stuttgart. This paper initially focuses on the specific measuring technique in steam turbines with respect to problems of condensation. The stator wakes, noticeable in all measuring planes of the stage, require the determination of the flow vector over a large portion of the cross-section to obtain representative values. The application of a newly designed last stage for LP-steam turbines, which is characterized by curved guide-vanes, led to considerable improvements of the flow over the entire range of operation. The results gained by measurements on that stage are compared to former measurements on a stage version with straight guide-vanes. A significant change of flow characteristics over the blade span can be noticed. Particularly, the flow in the hub region was improved by balancing the radial pressure distribution.
