This paper deals with CFD analysis of a particular turbine impulse stage including the surrounding parts such as diaphragm seals, shroud seals and a disc axial gap, where balancing holes and a disc sealing is designed. The aim is to investigate effects on efficiency and axial forces by evaluation of a pressure distribution on the rotor disc and respective mass flow balances. As a result of this, the possible methodology of design optimization could be found. The other part of the project is to find the way for a more exact preliminary computation which is essential for increasing efficiency and the reduction of the axial forces.
