In this study, the effect of turbine geometry on the overall performance of a gas turbine was investigated by computational fluid dynamics. Overall engine performance was predicted through a full engine simulation program which can predict the interactions of the compressor, the combustor and the turbine. The compressor and the turbine analysis code solves 2D and 3D Navier-Stokes equations respectively. The chemical equilibrium code was applied to simulate the combustor. The computations were performed for two different shapes of turbine nozzle. The nozzle shapes adopted a baseline blade and a blade with fillet.
