To better understand and facilitate design of an impinging jet device, the heat transfer on a cylindrical target exposed to radial impinging slot jets was investigated using numerical methods. Numerical models were created to test the performance of the Shear Stress Transport (SST), Standard and Realizable k-epsilon, v2f, and Reynolds Stress Model (RSM) turbulence models versus published test data. Based on the validation study the v2f model was ultimately selected for further work. Models were then constructed to simulate a cylinder exposed to a radial array of slot jets. Parametric variations were conducted to produce information about the influence of jet speed, nozzle count, and other independent design variables upon heat transfer. Nozzle count was varied from 2 to 8, jet Reynolds number ranged from 5,000 to 80,000, and target diameter varied from 5 to 10 times the nozzle hydraulic diameter. The interaction of adjacent opposed wall jets caused a static pressure rise and resulted in flow separation on the surface of the cylindrical target. This separation and the fountain flow between the two wall jets greatly influenced the local heat transfer, causing a rise in Nu of an order of magnitude. The resulting average Nu values varied from 19 to 217 and were condensed into a correlation equation incorporating target curvature, number of nozzles, Re, and Pr.

Computational Time

The computation of heat transfer phenomena in gas turbines plays a key role in the continuous quest to increase performance and life of both component and machine. In order to assess different cooling approaches computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is a fundamental tool. Until now the task has often been carried out with RANS simulations, mainly due to the relatively short computational time. The clear drawback of this approach is in terms of accuracy, especially in those situations where averaged turbulence-structures are not able to capture the flow physics, thus under or overestimating the local heat transfer. The present work shows the development of a new explicit high-order incompressible solver for time-dependent flows based on the open source C++ Toolbox OpenFOAM framework. As such, the solver is enabled to compute the spatially filtered Navier-Stokes equations applied in large eddy simulations for incompressible flows. An overview of the development methods is provided, presenting numerical and algorithmic details. The solver is verified using the method of manufactured solutions, and a series of numerical experiments is performed to show third-order accuracy in time and low temporal error levels. Typical cooling devices in turbomachinery applications are then investigated, such as the flow over a turbulator geometry involving heated walls and a film cooling application. The performance of various sub-grid-scale models are tested, such as static Smagorinsky, dynamic Lagrangian, dynamic one-equation turbulence models, dynamic Smagorinsky, WALE and sigma-model. Good results were obtained in all cases with variations among the individual models.

This research provides a computational analysis of heat transfer due to micro jet-impingement inside a gas turbine vane. A preliminary-parametric analysis of axisymmetric single jet was reported to better understand micro jet-impingement. In general, it was seen that as the Reynolds number increased the Nusselt number values increased. The jet to target spacing had a considerably lower impact on the heat transfer rates. Around 30% improvement was seen by reducing the diameter to half while changing the shape to an ellipse saw 20.8% improvement in Nusselt value. The numerical investigation was then followed by studying the heat transfer characteristics in a three-dimensional, actual-shaped turbine vane. Effects of jet inclination showed enhanced mixing and secondary heat transfer peaks. The effect of reducing the diameter of the jets to 0.125 mm yielded 55% heat transfer improvements compared to 0.51 mm; the tapering effect also enhanced the local heat transfer values as local velocities at jet exit increased.

An experimental study was done to determine the effect of entrainment temperature on the local heat transfer rates to single and multiple, plane, turbulent impinging air jets. To determine the effect of entrainment of the surrounding fluid, the single jet issued into an environment at a temperature which was varied between the initial temperature of the jet and the temperature of the heated impingement plate. An analytical model was used to correlate the measured heat transfer rate to a single jet. The effect of the entrainment temperature in a single jet was then used to analyze the effect of entrainment from the recirculation region between the jets of a jet array. Using the measured temperature in the recirculation region to include the effect of entrainment, the single jet correlations were successfully applied to multiple jets.

Detailed heat transfer distributions are numerically investigated on a multiple jet impingement target surface with staggered arrays of spherical dimples where coolant can be extracted through film holes for external film cooling. The three dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis with SST k-ω turbulence model is conducted at jet Reynolds number from 15,000 to 35,000. The separation distance between the jet plate and the target surface varies from 3 to 5 jet diameters and two jet-induced crossflow schemes are included to be referred as large and small crossflow at one and two opposite exit openings correspondingly. Flow and heat transfer results for the dimpled target plate with three suction ratios of 2.5%, 5.0% and 12.0% are compared with those on dimpled surfaces without film holes. The results indicate the presence of film holes could alter the local heat transfer distributions, especially near the channel outlets where the crossflow level is the highest. The heat transfer enhancements by applying film holes to the dimpled surfaces is improved to different degrees at various suction ratios, and the enhancements depend on the coupling effect of impingement and channel flow, which is relevant to jet Reynolds number, jet-to-plate spacing and crossflow scheme.

An experimental and analytical study of flow in the tip clearance gap of a linear turbine rotor blade cascade has been performed. Measurements of wall static pressures and flow velocities are used to verify a flow model involving a vena contracta, near the tip gap entrance, followed by flow mixing to fill the gap. A frequently referenced potential flow theory for flow into a tip gap is found to be in error and the correct theory is shown to model the unloading along the pressure surface of the blade and the endwall static pressure distribution up to the vena contracta accurately. A combined potential flow and mixing model accounts for the pressure rise in the tip gap due to mixing. Turbine tip heat transfer is also discussed and a correlation of local heat transfer rates for essentially incompressible flow over unshrouded turbine rotor blades is presented.

This work presents a numerical investigation for the turbulent flow and heat transfer in an abrupt contraction channel with a porous material placed in a flow passage. The channel has a contraction rate of 3:2. Results for the hybrid medium were obtained using linear and non-linear k-ε macroscopic models. It was used an inlet Reynolds number of Re = 132000 based on the height of the step. Parameters such as porosity, permeability and thickness of the porous insert were varied in order to analyze their effects on the flow pattern. The results of local heat transfer, friction coefficient and stream lines obtained by the two turbulence models were compared for the cases without and with porous insertion of thickness a/H=0.083, 0.166 and 0.250, where H is the step height. Insert porosity of varied between 0.85 and 0.95 with permeability in the range 10−6–10−2 m2.

Abstract Liquid crystal thermography and infrared thermography techniques are typically employed to measure detailed surface temperatures, where local heat transfer coefficient (HTC) values are calculated by employing suitable conduction models. One such practice, which is very popular and easy to use, is the transient liquid crystal thermography using one-dimensional semi-infinite conduction model. In these experiments, a test surface with low thermal conductivity and low thermal diffusivity (e.g. acrylic) is used where a step-change in coolant air temperature is induced and surface temperature response is recorded. An error minimization routine is then employed to guess heat transfer coefficients of each pixel, where wall temperature evolution is known through an analytical expression. The assumption that heat flow in the solid is essentially in one-dimension, often leads to errors in HTC determination and this error depends on true HTC, wall temperature evolution and HTC gradient. A representative case of array jet impingement under maximum crossflow condition has been considered here. This heat transfer enhancement concept is widely used in gas turbine leading edge and electronics cooling. Jet impingement is a popular cooling technique which results in high convective heat rates and has steep gradients in heat transfer coefficient distribution. In this paper, we have presented a procedure for solution of three-dimensional transient conduction equation using alternating direction implicit method and an error minimization routine to find accurate heat transfer coefficients at relatively lower computational cost. The HTC results obtained using 1D semi-infinite conduction model and 3D conduction model were compared and it was found that the heat transfer coefficient obtained using the 3D model was consistently higher than the conventional 1D model by 3–16%. Significant deviations, as high as 8–20% in local heat transfer at the stagnation points of the jets were observed between h1D and h3D.

The ice formation phenomenon and heat transfer around isothermally cooled cylinders that are lined up in the direction of flow in a crossflow of cold water were examined experimentally. Under the conditions of low Reynolds numbers and low cooling temperatures, the cylinders became linked by an ice layer. The amount of ice formed around the cylinders was much more than that for a single cylinder. A correlation equation was proposed for the amount of linked ice around the cooled cylinders. It was found that the local heat transfer coefficients on the linked ice surface showed an alternating decrease and increase in the flow direction. The mean value of the local Nusselt number showed the same characteristic as that on a flat plate in a turbulent flow. A dimensionless parameter that represents how efficiently the cylinders can work as a thermal energy storage system was introduced.
