By using the CFX software, the three-dimensional flow and heat transfer characteristics in the cooling duct with pin-fin in the blade trailing edge were numerically simulated. The effects of pin-fin arrangements, Reynolds number, steam superheat degrees, streamwise pin density and convergence angle of the wedge duct on the flow and heat transfer characteristics were analysed. The results show that the Nusselt number on the endwall and pin-fin surfaces as well as the pin-fin row averaged Nusselt number increase with the increasing of Reynolds number, while it decreased with the with the increasing of X/D. The pressure drop increases with the increasing of Reynolds number while decreases with the increasing of X/D in the wedge duct. The degree of superheat has little effect on the pressure loss in the wedge duct. A comprehensive analysis and comparison show that the highest thermal performance is reached in the wedge duct when the value of X/D is 1.5.
