contents Boundary layers of adiabatic and isothermal curved walls are investigated for a supersonic turbine cascade, including the effects of shock-boundary layer interactions (SBLIs). Wall-resolved large eddy simulations (LES) are performed for a linear cascade of blades with an inlet Mach number of $M_\infty = 2.0$ and Reynolds number based on the axial chord $Re_\infty = 200\,000$. The wall to inlet temperature ratio of the isothermal case is $T_w/T_{\infty}=0.75$, representing a cooled wall. An assessment of the effects of pressure gradient, thermal boundary conditions and SBLIs is presented in terms of the downstream variation of mean flow quantities such as density, temperature, and momentum profiles. The different thermal boundary conditions affect the density and temperature profiles along the boundary layer, where cooling increases the density of the gas near the wall, and reduces its temperature and viscosity. Both of these effects make the momentum profiles fuller and, hence, the boundary layer of the isothermal case is less prone to separate than that of the adiabatic wall. The mean density profiles are also affected by pressure gradients induced by the convex and concave curvatures of the blade, which lead to expansion and compression of the flow, respectively. The analysis of separate terms from the momentum balance equation explains the behavior of various physical mechanisms in the inner and outer regions of the supersonic boundary layers. The importance of mean flow advection, compressibility, and Reynolds stresses is presented in terms of flow acceleration and deceleration. The impact of the SBLIs in the momentum balance mechanisms is also investigated, showing that a combination of compressions and expansions impact the boundary layers by redirecting the flow toward the wall due to the shock formations.
