This paper reports the external convective heat transfer in an innovative low pressure vane with multisplitter configuration. Three small aerodynamic blades are positioned between each structural vane, providing a novel architecture for ultra-high by-pass ratio aero-engines, with increased LP vane radius and swan-neck diffuser to link the HP turbine. The measurements have been performed in the compression tube test rig of the von Karman Institute, using single layered thin film gauges. Time-averaged and time-resolved heat transfer distributions are presented for the three aerovanes and for the structural blade, at three pressure ratios tested at representative conditions of modern aeroengines, with M2,is ranging from 0.87 to 1.07 and a Reynolds number of about 106. This facility is specially suited to control the gas-to-wall temperature ratio. Accurate time-averaged heat transfer distributions around the aerovanes are assessed, that allow characterizing the boundary layer status for each position and pressure ratio. The heat transfer distribution around the structural blade is also obtained, depicting clear transition to turbulence, as well as particular flow features on the pressure side, like separation bubbles. Unsteady data analysis reveals the destabilizing effect of the rotor left-running shock on the aerovanes boundary layer, as well as the shift of transition onset for different blade passing events.

The effect of free convection on heat transfer and on the flow field about a rotating cone is studied. A similar solution for the laminar boundary-layer equations is found to exist when the cone surface temperature varies linearly with distance from the cone apex. The transformed boundary-layer equations contain the important parameter Gr/Re2. This parameter determines the relative importance of the free convection motions on forced convection. Numerical solutions of the transformed equations for aiding flows have been carried out for Prandtl number 0.7 and different values of Gr/Re2. Results are reported for the heat transfer, shear stress, shaft moment, and velocity and temperature fields. Criteria are given for subdividing the regimes of flow as purely free, purely forced, and combined flow. Preliminary experimental heat-transfer results are reported which indicate the trends predicted by theory.

Experimental data are presented for heat transfer to the turbulent boundary layer subjected to transpiration and acceleration at constant values of the acceleration parameter K = (ν/U∞2)(dU∞/dx) of approximately 1.45 × 10−6. This is a moderately strong acceleration, but not so strong as to result in laminarization of the boundary layer. The results for transpiration fractions F of −0.002, 0.0, and +0.0058 are presented in detail in tabular form, and in graphs of Stanton number versus enthalpy thickness Reynolds number. In addition, temperature profiles at several stations are presented. Stanton number results for F = −0.004, +0.002, and +0.004 are also presented, but in graphical form only. The data were obtained using air as both the free-stream and the transpired fluid, at relatively low velocities, and with temperature differences sufficiently low (approximately 40 deg F) that the influence of temperature-dependent fluid properties is minimal. All data were obtained with the surface maintained at a temperature invariant in the direction of flow.

Experimental heat transfer data are presented for a series of asymptotic accelerated turbulent boundary layers for the case of an impermeable wall, and several cases of blowing, and suction. The data are presented as Stanton number versus enthalpy thickness Reynolds number. As noted by previous investigators, acceleration causes a depression in Stanton number when the wall is impermeable. Suction increases this effect, while blowing suppresses it. The combination of mild acceleration and strong blowing results in Stanton numbers which lie above the correlation for the same blowing but no acceleration. Velocity and temperature profiles are presented, from which it is possible to deduce explanations for the observed behavior of the Stanton number. A prediction scheme is proposed which is demonstrated to quite adequately reproduce the Stanton number results, using correlations derived from the profiles.
