In order to analyze the interaction of multiple rows of film cooling holes in flows at adverse pressure gradients, large-eddy simulations (LESs) are performed. The considered three-row cooling configuration consists of inclined cooling holes at an angle of 30 deg with a lateral pitch of p/D=3 and a streamwise spacing of l/D=6. The cooling holes possess a fan-shaped exit geometry with lateral and streamwise expansions. For each cooling row the complete internal flow is computed. Air and CO2 are injected in order to investigate the influence of an increased density ratio on the film cooling physics at adverse pressure gradients. The CO2 injected at the same blowing rate as air shows a higher magnitude of the Reynolds shear stress component and, thus, an enhanced mixing downstream of the cooling holes. The LES results of the air and CO2 configurations are compared to the corresponding particle-image velocimetry (PIV) measurements and show a convincing agreement in terms of the averaged streamwise velocity and streamwise velocity fluctuations. Furthermore, the cooling effectiveness is investigated for a zero and an adverse pressure gradient configuration with a temperature ratio at gas turbine conditions. For the adverse pressure gradient case, reduced temperature levels off the wall are observed. However, the cooling effectiveness shows only minor differences compared to the zero pressure gradient flow. The turbulent Schmidt number at CO2 injection shows large variations. Just downstream of the injection it attains low values, whereas high values are detected in the upper mixing zone of the cooling flow and the freestream at each film cooling row.

A model is proposed with which the statistics of the fluctuating streamwise velocity in the inner region of wall-bounded turbulent flows are predicted from a measured large-scale velocity signature from an outer position in the logarithmic region of the flow. Results, including spectra and all moments up to sixth order, are shown and compared to experimental data for zero-pressure-gradient flows over a large range of Reynolds numbers. The model uses universal time-series and constants that were empirically determined from zero-pressure-gradient boundary layer data. In order to test the applicability of these for other flows, the model is also applied to channel, pipe and adverse-pressure-gradient flows. The results support the concept of a universal inner region that is modified through a modulation and superposition of the large-scale outer motions, which are specific to the geometry or imposed streamwise pressure gradient acting on the flow.

Turbulent flow over a series of increasingly high, two-dimensional bumps is studied by well-resolved large-eddy simulation. The mean flow and Reynolds stresses for the lowest bump are in good agreement with experimental data. The flow encounters a favourable pressure gradient over the windward side of the bump, but does not relaminarize, as is evident from near-wall fluctuations. A patch of high turbulent kinetic energy forms in the lee of the bump and extends into the wake. It originates near the surface, before flow separation, and has a significant influence on flow development. The highest bumps create a small separation bubble, whereas flow over the lowest bump does not separate. The log law is absent over the entire bump, evidencing strong disequilibrium. This dataset was created for data-driven modelling. An optimization method is used to extract fields of variables that are used in turbulence closure models. From this, it is shown how these models fail to correctly predict the behaviour of these variables near to the surface. The discrepancies extend further away from the wall in the adverse pressure gradient and recovery regions than in the favourable pressure gradient region.
