Film Cooling Effectiveness

The heat (mass) transfer coefficient and the film cooling effectiveness are obtained from separate tests using pure air and naphthalene-saturated vapor injected through circular holes into a crossflow of air. The experiments indicate that Sherwood numbers around the injection hole are up to four times those on a flat plate (without injection holes) due to the interaction of the jets and the mainstream. The mass transfer around the injection holes is dominated by formations of horseshoe, side, and kidney vortices, which are generated by the jet and crossflow interaction. For an in-line array of holes, the effectiveness is high and uniform in the streamwise direction but has a large variation in the lateral direction. The key parameters, including transfer coefficients on the back surface (Part I), inside the hole (Part I), and on the exposed surfaces, and the effectiveness on the exposed surface, are obtained so that the wall temperature distribution near the injection holes can be determined for a given heat flux condition. This detailed information will also aid the numerical modeling of flow and mass/heat transfer around film cooling holes.

The present study investigates local film cooling effectiveness values and heat/mass transfer coefficients around a conical-shaped film cooling hole with compound angle orientations. Three types of film cooling hole geometry are compared in this study; one is cylindrical hole geometry with constant cross section and the others are shaped hole geometries with conically-enlarged hole exits. The shaped holes have cylindrical passage sections at the hole inlet region to obtain a certain pressure drop through the holes. One shaped hole expands 4° in all directions from the middle of hole to the exit. The other shaped hole has the tilted center-line by 4° between the conical and metering holes and is enlarged by 8° to downstream side. The hole area ratios of the exit to the inlet are 2.55 and 2.48, respectively. The compound-angled film cooling jet is ejected through the single holes, which are inclined at 30° to the surface based on the metering hole and are rotatable in lateral direction from 0° to 90°. The blowing rates are changed from 0.5 to 2.0. The naphthalene sublimation technique is used to determine local heat/mass transfer coefficients and local adiabatic/impermeable wall film cooling effectiveness around the injection hole. The results indicate that the injected jet protects the surface effectively with low blowing rates and spreads more widely with the compound angle injections than the axial injection. For the shaped hole enlarged by 4° in all directions, the penetration of jet is reduced and higher cooling performance is obtained even at relatively high blowing rates because the increased hole exit area reduces hole exit velocity. Furthermore, the film cooling effectiveness is fairly uniform near the hole due to the wide lateral spreading of coolant with the expanded cooling hole exit.

A special naphthalene sublimation technique is used to study the film cooling performance downstream of one row of holes of 35 deg inclination angle and 45 deg compound angle with 3d hole spacing and relatively small hole length to diameter ratio (6.3). Both film cooling effectiveness and mass/heat transfer coefficients are determined for blowing rates from 0.5 to 2.0 with density ratio of unity. The mass transfer coefficient is measured using pure air film injection, while the film cooling effectiveness is derived from comparison of mass transfer coefficients obtained following injection of naphthalene-vapor-saturated air with that of pure air injection. This technique enables one to obtain detailed local information on film cooling performance. General agreement is found in local film cooling effectiveness when compared with previous experiments. The laterally averaged effectiveness with compound angle injection is higher than that with inclined holes immediately downstream of injection at a blowing rate of 0.5 and is higher at all locations downstream of injection at larger blowing rates. A large variation of mass transfer coefficients in the lateral direction is observed in the present study. At low blowing rates of 0.5 and 1.0, the laterally averaged mass transfer coefficient is close to that of injection without compound angle. At the highest blowing rate used (2.0), the asymmetric vortex motion under the jets increases the mass transfer coefficient drastically ten diameters downstream of injection.

A special naphthalene sublimation technique is used to study the film cooling performance downstream of one row of holes of 35 deg inclination angle with 3d hole spacing and relatively small hole length to diameter ratio (L/d = 6.3). Both film cooling effectiveness and mass/heat transfer coefficient are determined for blowing rates from 0.5 to 2.0 with density ratio of 1.0. The mass transfer coefficient is measured using pure air film injection, while the film cooling effectiveness is derived from comparison of mass transfer coefficients obtained following injection of naphthalene-vapor-saturated air with those from pure air injection. This technique enables one to obtain detailed local information on film cooling performance. The laterally averaged and local film cooling effectiveness agree with previous experiments. The difference between mass/heat transfer coefficients and previous heat transfer results indicates that conduction error may play an important role in the earlier heat transfer measurements.

Turbine Airfoils

The present study deals with the unsteady flow simulation of trailing edge film cooling on the pressure side cut-back of gas turbine airfoils. Before being ejected tangentially on the inclined cut-back surface, the coolant air passes a partly converging passage that is equipped with turbulators such as pin fins and ribs. The film mixing process on the cut-back is complicated. In the near slot region, due to the turbulators and the blunt pressure side lip, turbulence is expected to be anisotropic. Furthermore, unsteady flow phenomena like vortex shedding from the pressure side lip might influence the mixing process (i.e. the film cooling effectiveness on the cut-back surface). In the current study, three different internal cooling designs are numerically investigated starting from the steady RaNS solution, and ending with unsteady detached eddy simulations (DES). Blowing ratios M = 0.5; 0.8; 1.1 are considered. To obtain both, film cooling effectiveness as well as heat transfer coefficients on the cut-back surface, the simulations are performed using adiabatic and diabatic wall boundary conditions. The DES simulations give a detailed insight into the unsteady film mixing process on the trailing edge cut-back, which is indeed influenced by vortex shedding from the pressure side lip. Furthermore, the time averaged DES results show very good agreement with the experimental data in terms of film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficients.

Experimental investigations were performed to measure the detailed heat transfer coefficients and film cooling effectiveness on the squealer tip of a gas turbine blade in a five-bladed linear cascade. The blade was a two-dimensional model of a first stage gas turbine rotor blade with a profile of the GE-E3 aircraft gas turbine engine rotor blade. The test blade had a squealer (recessed) tip with a 4.22% recess. The blade model was equipped with a single row of film cooling holes on the pressure side near the tip region and the tip surface along the camber line. Hue detection based transient liquid crystals technique was used to measure heat transfer coefficients and film cooling effectiveness. All measurements were done for the three tip gap clearances of 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.5% of blade span at the two blowing ratios of 1.0 and 2.0. The Reynolds number based on cascade exit velocity and axial chord length was 1.1×106 and the total turning angle of the blade was 97.9 deg. The overall pressure ratio was 1.2 and the inlet and exit Mach numbers were 0.25 and 0.59, respectively. The turbulence intensity level at the cascade inlet was 9.7%. Results showed that the overall heat transfer coefficients increased with increasing tip gap clearance, but decreased with increasing blowing ratio. However, the overall film cooling effectiveness increased with increasing blowing ratio. Results also showed that the overall film cooling effectiveness increased but heat transfer coefficients decreased for the squealer tip when compared to the plane tip at the same tip gap clearance and blowing ratio conditions.

As an advanced cooling scheme to meet increasingly stringent combustor cooling requirements, multihole film cooling has received considerable attention. Experimental data of this cooling scheme are limited in the open literature in terms of different hole patterns and blowing ratios. The heat-mass transfer analogy method was employed to measure adiabatic film cooling effectiveness of three multihole patterns. Three hole patterns differed in streamwise row spacing (S), spanwise hole pitch (P), and hole inclination angle (α), with the first pattern S∕P=2 and α=30°, the second S∕P=1 and α=30°, and the third S∕P=2 and α=150°. Measurements were performed at different blow ratios (M=1-4). Streamwise coolant injection offers high cooling protection for downstream rows. Reverse coolant injection provides superior cooling protection for initial rows. The effect of blowing ratio on cooling effectiveness is small for streamwise injection but significant for reversion injection.

The effect of leading edge film cooling on heat transfer was experimentally investigated using the naphthalene sublimation technique. The experiments were performed on a symmetrical model of the leading edge suction side region of a high pressure turbine blade with one row of film cooling holes on each side. Two different lateral inclinations of the injection holes were studied: 0° and 45°. In order to build a data base for the validation and improvement of numerical computations, highly resolved distributions of the heat/mass transfer coefficients were measured. Reynolds numbers (based on hole diameter) were varied from 4000 to 8000 and blowing rate from 0.0 to 1.5. For better interpretation, the results were compared with injection-flow visualizations. Increasing the blowing rate causes more interaction between the jets and the mainstream, which creates higher jet turbulence at the exit of the holes resulting in a higher relative heat transfer. This increase remains constant over quite a long distance dependent on the Reynolds number. Increasing the Reynolds number keeps the jets closer to the wall resulting in higher relative heat transfer. The highly resolved heat/mass transfer distribution shows the influence of the complex flow field in the near hole region on the heat transfer values along the surface.
