Results are presented which illustrate the effects of single embedded longitudinal vortices on heat transfer and injectant downstream of a single film-cooling hole in a turbulent boundary layer. Attention is focussed on the changes resulting as circulation magnitudes of the vortices are varied from 0.0 to 0.15 m**2/s. Mean temperature results are presented which show how injectant is distorted and redistributed by vortices, along with heat transfer measurements and mean velocity surveys. Injection hole diameter is 0.952 cm to give a ratio of vortex core diameter to hole diameter of about 1.5–1.6. The freestream velocity is maintained at 10 m/s, and the blowing ratio is approximately 0.5. The film-cooling hole is oriented 30 degrees with respect to the test surface. Stanton numbers are measured on a constant heat flux surface with a non-dimensional temperature parameter of about 1.5. Two different situations are studied: one where the injection hole is beneath the vortex downwash, and one where the injection hole is beneath the vortex upwash. For both cases, vortex centers pass well within 2.9 vortex core diameters of the centerline of the injection hole. To quantify the influences of the vortices on the injectant and local heat transfer, the parameter S is used, defined as the ratio of vortex circulation to injection hole diameter times mean injection velocity. When S is greater than 1.0–1.5, injectant is swept into the vortex upwash and above the vortex core by secondary flows, and Stanton number data show evidence of injectant beneath the vortex core and downwash near the wall for x/d only up to 33.6. For larger x/d, local Stanton numbers are augmented by the vortices by as much as 23 percent relative to film-cooled boundary layers with no vortices. When S is less than 1.0–1.5, some injectant remains near the wall beneath the vortex core and downwash where it continues to provide some thermal protection. In some cases, the protection provided by film cooling is augmented because of vortex secondary flows which cause extra injectant to accumulate near vortex upwash regions.

Effects of embedded longitudinal vortices on heat transfer in turbulent boundary layers with injection from a single film cooling hole are described. These results were obtained at a freestream velocity of 10 m/s, with a film cooling hole inclined 30 degrees to horizontal and a blowing ratio of about 0.50. The ratio of vortex core diameter to injection hole diameter was 2.14, and the ratio of circulation to injection velocity times hole diameter was about 2.8. Coolant distributions and spatially resolved heat transfer measurements indicate that injection hole centerlines must be a least 2.0–2.5 vortex core diameters away from the vortex center in the lateral direction to avoid significant alterations to wall heat transfer and distributions of film coolant. Under these circumstances, protection from film cooling is evident at least up to 55 hole diameters downstream of injection. When the injection hole is closer to the vortex center, secondary flows convect most injectant into the vortex upwash and thermal protection from film cooling is destroyed for streamwise locations from the injection hole greater than 17.5 hole diameters.

Injection hole diameter is 0.952 cm to give a ratio of vortex core diameter to hole diameter of about 1.5–1.6. The free-stream velocity is maintained at 10 m/s, and the blowing ratio is approximately 0.5. Film-cooling holes are oriented 30 deg with respect to the test surface. Stanton numbers are measured on a constant heat flux surface with a nondimensional temperature parameter of about 1.5. Two different situations are studied: one where the middle injection hole is beneath the vortex downwash, and one where the middle injection hole is beneath the vortex upwash. For both cases, vortex centers pass within 2.9–3.4 vortex core diameters of the centerline of the middle injection hole. To quantify the influences of the vortices on the injectant, two new parameters are introduced. S is defined as the ratio of vortex circulation to injection hole diameter times mean injection velocity. S1 is similarly defined except vortex core diameter replaces injection hole diameter. The perturbation to film injectant and local heat transfer is determined by the magnitudes of S and S1. When S is greater than 1–1.5 or when S1 is greater than 0.7–1.0, injectant is swept into the vortex upwash and above the vortex core by secondary flows, and Stanton number data show evidence of injectant beneath the vortex core and downwash near the wall for x/d only up to about 17.5. For larger x/d, local hot spots are present, and the vortices cause local Stanton numbers to be augmented by as much as 25 percent in the film-cooled boundary layers. When S and S1 are less than these values, some injectant remains near the wall beneath the vortex core and downwash where it continues to provide some thermal protection. In some cases, the protection provided by film cooling is augmented because of vortex secondary flows, which cause extra injectant to accumulate near upwash regions.

Effects of embedded longitudinal vortices on heat transfer in turbulent boundary layers with injection from a single film-cooling hole are described. These results were obtained at a free-stream velocity of 10 m/s, with a film-cooling hole inclined 30 deg to the horizontal and a blowing ratio of about 0.50. The ratio of vortex core diameter to injection hole diameter was 1.58, and the ratio of circulation to injection velocity time hole diameter was about 3.16. Coolant distributions and spatially resolved heat transfer measurements indicate that injection hole centerlines must be at least 2.9–3.4 vortex core diameters away from the vortex center in the lateral direction to avoid significant alterations to wall heat transfer and distributions of film coolant. Under these circumstances, protection from film cooling is evident at least up to 55 hole diameters downstream of injection. When the injection hole is closer to the vortex center, secondary flows convect most injectant into the vortex upwash and thermal protection from film cooling is destroyed for streamwise locations from the injection hole greater than 17.5 hole diameters.

Experimental results are presented that describe the effects of embedded, longitudinal vortices on heat transfer and film injectant downstream of a single row of film cooling holes with compound angle orientations. Holes are spaced 7.8 hole diameters apart in the spanwise direction so that information is obtained on the interactions between the vortices and the injectant from a single hole. The compound angle holes are oriented so that their angles with respect to the test surface are 30 deg in a spanwise/normal plane projection, and 35 deg in a streamwise/normal plane projection. A blowing ratio of 0.5 is employed and the ratio of vortex core diameter to hole diameter is 1.6–1.67 just downstream of the injection holes (x/d=10.2). At the same location, vortex circulation magnitudes range from 0.15 m2/s to 0.18 m2/s. The most important conclusion is that local heat transfer and injectant distributions are strongly affected by the longitudinal embedded vortices, including their directions of rotation and their spanwise positions with respect to film injection holes. To obtain information on the latter, clockwise rotating vortices R0–R4 and counterclockwise rotating vortices L0–L4 are placed at different spanwise locations with respect to the central injection hole located on the spanwise centerline. With vortices R0–R4, the greatest disruption to the film is produced by the vortex whose downwash passes over the central hole (R0). With vortices L0–L4, the greatest disruption is produced by the vortices whose cores pass over the central hole (L1 and L2). To minimize such disruptions, vortex centers must pass at least 1.5 vortex core diameters away from an injection hole on the upwash sides of the vortices and 2.9 vortex core diameters away on the downwash sides of the vortices. Differences resulting from vortex rotation are due to secondary flow vectors, especially beneath vortex cores, which are in different directions with respect to the spanwise velocity components of injectant after it exits the holes. When secondary flow vectors near the wall are in the same direction as the spanwise components of the injectant velocity (vortices R0–R4), the film injectant is more readily swept beneath vortex cores and into vortex upwash regions than for the opposite situation in which near-wall secondary flow vectors are opposite to the spanwise components of the injectant velocity (vortices L0–L4). Consequently, higher Stanton numbers are generally present over larger portions of the test surface with vortices R0–R4 than with vortices L0–L4.

Abstract Large eddy simulations on the well-known 7-7-7 fan shaped cooling hole were carried out. Like using a trip strip to create turbulent boundary layer in practical experiments, trip strips with different configurations were placed upstream of the cooling hole to investigate incoming turbulent boundary layer effect on the film cooling flow behavior. Without the trip, horseshoe vortex generated by laminar boundary layer induced laterally discharging cooling flow in the lateral direction. Meanwhile, the induced cooling flow formed high film cooling effectiveness region around the film cooling hole. When the incoming boundary flow was turbulent, laterally discharged cooling flow was influenced by the turbulent boundary layer to dissipate to the main flow and resultant high effectiveness region disappeared. Depending on the trip configuration, quantitative characteristics of boundary layer such as turbulent intensity, momentum thickness and shape factor were strongly affected. Some trip configurations resulted in fully developed turbulent boundary layer just before leading edge of the film cooling hole. In such cases, distribution of the film cooling effectiveness showed a reasonable agreement with available experimental data where the quantitative properties of the turbulent boundary layer were similar. However, when the trip was located too close to the film cooling hole, the separated and reattached flow did not develop into the stabilized turbulent boundary layer. Then strong turbulence intensity in the main flow boundary layer stimulated break down of the cooling flow vortex structure and early dissipation to the main flow. It resulted in restricted film cooling flow coverage.

Experimental results are presented which describe the effects of embedded, longitudinal vortices on heat transfer and film injectant downstream of a single row of film cooling holes with compound angle orientations. Holes are spaced 7.8 hole diameters apart in the spanwise direction so that information is obtained on the interactions between the vortices and the injectant from a single hole. The compound angle holes are oriented so that their angles with respect to the test surface are 30 degrees in a spanwise/normal plane projection, and 35 degrees in a streamwise/normal plane projection. A blowing ratio of 0.5 is employed and the ratio of vortex core diameter to hole diameter is 1.6–1.67 just downstream of the injection holes (x/d=10.2). At the same location, vortex circulation magnitudes range from 0.15 m2/s to 0.18 m2/s. The most important conclusion is that local heat transfer and injectant distributions are strongly affected by the longitudinal embedded vortices, including their directions of rotation and their spanwise positions with respect to film injection holes. To obtain information on the latter, clockwise rotating vortices R0-R4 and counter-clockwise rotating vortices L0-L4 are placed at different spanwise locations with respect to the central injection hole located on the spanwise centerline. With vortices R0-R4, the greatest disruption to the film is produced by the vortex whose downwash passes over the central hole (R0). With vortices L0-L4, the greatest disruption is produced by the vortices whose cores pass over the central hole (L1 and L2). To minimize such disruptions, vortex centers must pass at least 1.5 vortex core diameters away from an injection hole on the upwash sides of the vortices and 2.9 vortex core diameters away on the downwash sides of the vortices. Differences resulting from vortex rotation are due to secondary flow vectors, especially beneath vortex cores, which are in different directions with respect to the spanwise velocity components of injectant after it exits the holes. When secondary flow vectors near the wail are in the same direction as the spanwise components of the injectant velocity (vortices R0-R4), the film injectant is more readily swept beneath vortex cores and into vortex upwash regions than for the opposite situation in which near-wall secondary flow vectors are opposite to the spanwise components of the injectant velocity (vortices L0-L4). Consequently, higher Stanton numbers are generally present over larger portions of the test surface with vortices R0-R4 than with vortices L0-L4.

Large eddy simulations on film cooling hole array on a flat plate was carried out to investigate upstream turbulence effect. Circular cylinders were configured to create a turbulent boundary layer and its diameter has been adjusted to generate 13% upstream turbulence intensity in the main flow. Due to the small pitch to diameter configuration of the cylinder, two-dimensional LES analysis was carried out in advance and the results showed that LES was an essential method to resolve flow field around and downstream circular cylinder, which was not available in RANS simulations. The three-dimensional LES results showed reasonable agreement in turbulence intensity and normalized velocity distributions along the vertical with measured data. According to the blowing ratio, the cooling flow coverage on the surface along the stream-wise direction was varied and well agreed with measured data. Additionally, upstream boundary flows were partially ingested inside the cooling hole and discharged again near along the centerline of the cooling hole. This accounted for film cooling effectiveness distribution inside the cooling hole surface and along the centerline. The current study revealed that the LES for predicting turbulent boundary layer behaviors due to upstream turbulence generation source was an effective and feasible method. Moreover, the LES effectively resolved flow fields such as film cooling flow behaviors and corresponding film cooling effectiveness distributions.
