The current paper presents the results of numerical and experimental clocking investigations performed in a high-pressure transonic turbine with a downstream vane row. The objective was a detailed analysis of shock and wake interactions in such a 1.5-stage machine while clocking the vanes. Therefore, a transient 3D Navier–Stokes calculation was done for two clocking positions, and the three-dimensional results are compared with laser-Doppler-velocimetry measurements at midspan. Additionally, the second vane was equipped with fast response pressure transducers to record the instantaneous surface pressure for 20 different clocking positions at midspan.
