To improve gas turbine efficiency, engine manufacturers increase both the overall compressor pressure ratio and the turbine inlet temperature, resulting into a higher thermal load of the combustion chamber walls. Cooling systems such as multi-perforated plates are in this context good candidates to lower the thermal constraints on the liners. Such technological devices consist in introducing, through submillimetric holes, a cold air flow into the boundary layer of the chamber wall. Though commonly used in industrial applications, perforations with an angle of deviation, i.e. not aligned with the main flow, have not been studied in most experimental and numerical studies. The deviation angle impacts the liner temperature by modifying the flow structure around the plate. Conjugate heat transfer computations coupling Large Eddy Simulation and heat conduction are performed on streamwise and 45 angled configurations composed of 12 rows at an operating point representative of helicopter combustors to analyze the effect of the deviation. The flow organization around the plate is modified, yielding different heat flux distribution and plate temperature. The major differences are observed within the perforations where the heat flux coefficient increases up to 54% in the configuration with deviation.
