Experimental results are presented for the effectiveness and for the heat-transfer coefficient for a film cooling system in which air was used both for the film and for the free-stream fluids. Injection occurred at a single tangential slot near the leading edge of the plate and the slot size was varied. All flows were turbulent and the injection velocities covered a range from much less to much greater than the free-stream velocity. Correlations are realized for both the effectiveness and for the heat-transfer coefficient and, as in the past experience with such systems, separate specifications are needed for injection velocities greater and less than the free-stream velocity.

Heat transfer of the counter-inclined cylindrical and laid-back holes with and without impingement on the turbine vane leading edge model are investigated in this paper. To obtain the film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient, transient temperature measurement technique on complete surface based on double thermochromic liquid crystals is used in this research. A semi-cylinder model is used to model the vane leading edge which is arranged with two rows of holes. Four test models are measured under four blowing ratios including cylindrical film holes with and without impingement tube structure, laid-back film holes with and without impingement tube structure. This is the second part of a two-part paper, the first part paper GT2018-76061 focuses on film cooling effectiveness and this study will focus on heat transfer. Contours of surface heat transfer coefficient and laterally averaged result are presented in this paper. The result shows that the heat transfer coefficient on the surface of the leading edge is enhanced with the increase of blowing ratio for same structure. The shape of the high heat transfer coefficient region gradually inclines to span-wise direction as the blowing ratio increases. Heat transfer coefficient in the region where the jet core flows through is relatively lower, while in the jet edge region the heat transfer coefficient is relatively higher. Compared with cylindrical hole, laid-back holes give higher heat transfer coefficient. Meanwhile, the introduction of impingement also makes heat transfer coefficient higher compared with cross flow air intake. It is found that the heat transfer of the combination of laid-back hole and impingement tube can be very high under large blowing ratio which should get attention in the design process.

Abstract The coolant flow characteristics at the hole exits of a film-cooled blade are derived from an earlier analysis where the hole pipes and coolant plenum were also discretized. The blade chosen is the VKI rotor with three staggered rows of shower-head holes. The present analysis applies these flow characteristics at the shower-head hole exits. A multi-block three-dimensional Navier-Stokes code with Wilcox’s k-ω model is used to compute the heat transfer coefficient on the film-cooled turbine blade. A reasonably good comparison with the experimental data as well as with the more complete earlier analysis where the hole pipes and coolant plenum were also gridded is obtained. If the 1/7th power law is assumed for the coolant flow characteristics at the hole exits, considerable differences in the heat transfer coefficient on the blade surface, specially in the leading-edge region, are observed even though the span-averaged values of h match well with the experimental data. This calls for span-resolved experimental data near film-cooling holes on a blade for better validation of the code.

Leakage flow between the rotating turbine blade tip and the fixed casing causes high heat loads and thermal stress on the tip and near the tip region. For this study, new squealer tips called partial cavity tips, which combine the advantages of plane and squealer tips, were suggested, and the effects of the cavity shape on the tip heat transfer coefficient and film cooling effectiveness were investigated experimentally in a low speed linear cascade. The suggested blade tips had a flat surface near the leading edge and a squealer cavity from the mid-chord to trailing edge region to achieve the advantages of both blade tip types. The heat transfer coefficient was measured via the 1-D transient heat transfer technique using an IR camera, and the film cooling effectiveness was obtained via the pressure sensitive paint (PSP) technique. Results showed that the heat transfer coefficient and film cooling effectiveness on the partial cavity tips strongly depended on the cavity shape. Near the leading edge, the heat transfer coefficients for the partial cavity tip cases were lower than that for the squealer tip case. However, the heat transfer coefficient on the cavity surface was higher for the partial cavity tip cases. The D10 tip showed a similar distribution of film cooling effectiveness to that of the PLN tip near the leading edge and the DSS tip near the mid-chord region. However, the overall averaged film cooling effectiveness of the DSS tip was higher than that of the D10 tip.

The present study is a continuation of an experimental investigation of film cooling from cylindrical holes embedded in transverse trenches. In this study, focus is on varying the downstream edge of the trench by angling it along the flow. Different edge angles are studied for the same trench depth. Also, the effect of hole spacing is considered for one of the standard trenches from previous studies to understand the effect of trenching on overall coolant usage. Detailed heat transfer coefficient and film effectiveness measurements are obtained simultaneously using a single test transient IR thermography technique. The study is performed at a single mainstream Reynolds number based on free-stream velocity and film hole diameter of 11000 at four different coolant-to-mainstream blowing ratios of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0. The results show that film effectiveness is greatly enhanced by the trenching due to improved two dimensional nature of the film and lateral spreading. The detailed heat transfer coefficient and film effectiveness contours provide a clear understanding of the jet-mainstream interactions for different hole orientations. The effect of edge angling is minimal on the overall cooling effectiveness but may have an impact on jet-mainstream interaction aerodynamic losses.

The influence of high mainstream turbulence on leading edge film effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient was studied. High mainstream turbulence was produced by a passive grid and a jet grid. Experiments were performed using a blunt body with a semicylinder leading edge with a flat afterbody. The mainstream Reynolds number based on leading edge diameter was about 100,000. Spanwise and streamwise distributions of film effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient in the leading edge and on the flat sidewall were obtained for three blowing ratios, through rows of holes located at ±15 and ±40 deg from stagnation. The holes in each row were spaced three hole diameters apart and were angled 30 and 90 deg to the surface in the spanwise and streamwise directions, respectively. The results indicate that the film effectiveness decreases with increasing blowing ratio, but the reverse is true for the heat transfer coefficient. The leading edge film effectiveness for low blowing ratio (B = 0.4) is significantly reduced by high mainstream turbulence (Tu = 9.67 and 12.9 percent). The mainstream turbulence effect is diminished in the leading edge for higher blowing ratios (B = 0.8 and 1.2) but still exists on the flat sidewall region. Also, the leading edge heat transfer coefficient for blowing ratio of 0.8 increases with increasing mainstream turbulence; but the effect for other blowing ratios [B = 0.4 and 1.2) is not as systematic as for B = 0.8. Surface heat load is significantly reduced with leading edge film cooling.

Film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer are measured downstream of injection through discrete holes into a turbulent mainstream boundary layer. Air is injected through both a single hole and a row of holes spaced at three-diameter intervals and inclined at an angle of 35 deg to the main flow. There is little difference between the heat transfer coefficient with blowing and without blowing at low blowing rates (mass flux ratios). In fact, at low blowing rates, injection is found to decrease somewhat the heat transfer coefficient from that measured without blowing. As the mass flux ratio increases past unity, the heat transfer coefficient increases especially with injection through a row of holes. The peak heat transfer is usually found at the edge of the spreading jets (i.e., between two holes). At a blowing rate near two, the lateral average of the heat transfer is as much as 27 percent higher than the heat transfer with no blowing. The increase in heat transfer is attributed to the interaction between the jets and the free stream, causing high levels of turbulence.

The effect of film slot injection on leading edge heat transfer coefficient and film cooling effectiveness under high mainstream turbulence conditions was experimentally studied for flow across a blunt body with a semi-cylinder leading edge and a flat afterbody. High mainstream turbulence levels were generated by a bar grid (Tu = 5.07%) and a passive grid (Tu = 9.67%). The incident mainstream Reynolds number based on the cylinder diameter was about 100,000. The spanwise and streamwise distributions of the heat transfer coefficient and film effectiveness in the leading edge and on the flat sidewall were obtained for three blowing ratios (B = 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2) with two rows of film slots located at ±15° and ±40° from stagnation line. The cross-sectional slot length-to-width ratio was two. The slots in each row were spaced three cross-sectional slot lengths apart and were angled 30° and 90° to the surface in the spanwise and streamwise direction, respectively. The results show that the heat transfer coefficient increases with increasing blowing ratio, but the film effectiveness reaches the maximum at an intermediate blowing ratio of B = 0.8 for both low (Tu = 0.75%) and high (Tu = 9.67%) mainstream turbulence conditions. The leading edge heat transfer coefficient increases and the film effectiveness decreases with mainstream turbulence level for the low blowing ratio; however, the mainstream turbulence effect reduces for the high blowing ratio. The leading edge heat load is significantly reduced with two rows of film slot injection. The blowing ratio of B = 0.4 provides the lowest heat load in the leading edge region for the low mainstream turbulence but B = 0.8 gives the lowest heat load for the high mainstream turbulence conditions.

Numerical simulations have been performed on the film cooling characteristics of counter-inclined film-hole rows, which have advantage in manufacturing relative to the usually used parallel-inclined film-hole row structure, on a turbine vane leading edge model. Two types of counter-inclined film-hole row were studied, including collinear counter-inclined film-hole row and non-collinear counter-inclined film-hole row. The distributions of film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient were obtained for the blowing ratios of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0. The effect of hole pitch on the film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient was also studied. The results show that the film cooling performances of counter-inclined film-hole rows are not weakened compared to the traditional parallel-inclined film-hole row structure. Film cooling effectiveness of the non-collinear counter-inclined film-hole row is even a little better than the film cooling effectiveness of the traditional film-hole row and collinear counter-inclined film-hole row in the downstream region near the film-hole row. The film cooling effectiveness of the two counter-inclined film-hole row structures decreases with the increase of blowing ratio, while the heat transfer coefficient increases. The change of inclination structure of film-hole row has very little effect on the heat transfer coefficient in the downstream region, while the increase of hole pitch could influence the values of heat transfer coefficient as well as film cooling effectiveness in a relatively notable way.
