A thorough numerical analysis of micro-impingement cooling for application in high pressure turbine vanes is presented. The fundamental flow of an axisymmetric jet is first modeled and studied to ascertain the validity of the results. Subsequent, a fully three dimensional curved vane is modeled with an in-line impinging array of jet diamters 0.5mm. The analysis reveals that spent air collects with increasing streamwise distance from the leading edge, thereby increasing jet exit velocities across the array. For all cases studied, an increase in jet to target spacing increased the overall Reynolds number of the array, but decreased the average heat transfer rate. Micro diameters of 0.25mm were subsequently studied for full vane geometry. For a given mass flow per unit of heated area, the micro-jets considerably increased the average heat transfer by 63%. Similar enhancements were obtained at a fixed pressure drop percentage, and for a desired average heat transfer.

In this work, a numerical study has been performed to simulate the heat transfer and fluid flow in a transonic high-pressure turbine stator vane passage. Four turbulence models (the Spalart-Allmaras model, the low-Reynolds-number realizable k-ε model, the shear-stress transport (SST) k-ω model and the v2-f model) are used in order to assess the capability of the models to predict the heat transfer and pressure distributions. The simulations are performed using the FLUENT commercial software package, but also two other codes, the in-house code VolSol and the commercial code CFX are used for comparison with FLUENT results. The results of the three-dimensional simulations are compared with experimental heat transfer and aerodynamic results available for the so-called MT1 turbine stage. It is observed that the predictions of the vane pressure field agree well with experimental data, and that the pressure distribution along the profile is not strongly affected by choice of turbulence model. It is also shown that the v2-f model yields the best agreement with the measurements. None of the tested models are able to predict transition correctly.

A numerical analysis of effectiveness of micro-jet impingement cooling on leading edge of a turbine vane is presented. An axisymmetric single round jet was assessed for its ability and consistency as a preliminary study including the investigation of parameters influencing the heat transfer distribution. The analysis revealed that an increase in Nusselt number was attributed to increase in Reynolds number, decrease in jet diameter and H/D < 3. Significant improvement in heat transfer was observed for tapering nozzle configuration. The study was then further expanded to 3D analysis of leading edge cooling of turbine vane. Effect of nozzle diameter to micro-scale was studied, which showed 65% enhancement in the heat transfer rates.

In this paper a numerical simulation is performed to simulate the impingement cooling on internal leading edge region, which is stretched by the middle cross section of the first stage rotor blade of GE-E3 engine high pressure turbine, and in the condition that jets flow is ejected from a row of four different diameter circular nozzles. The relative performances of three versions of turbulence models including the RNG κ-ε model, the standard κ-ω model and the SST κ-ω model in the simulation of a row of circle jet impingement heat transfer are compared with available experimental data. The results show that SST κ-ω model is the best one based on simulation accuracy. Then the SST κ-ω model is adopted for the simulation. The grid independence study is also carried out by using the Richardson extrapolation method. A single array of circle jets is arranged to investigate the impingement cooling and its effectiveness. Four different jet nozzle diameters are studied and seven different inlet flow Mach numbers of each jet nozzle diameter are calculated. The influence of the ratio of the spacing of jet nozzle from the target surface to the jet nozzle diameter on impingement cooling is also studied, in case of a constant ratio of jet spacing to jet nozzle diameter in different jet nozzle diameters. The results indicate that the heat transfer coefficient on the turbine blade leading edge increases with the increase of jet Mach number and jet nozzle diameter, the spanwise area weight average Nusselt number decreases with the increase of the ratio of the spacing of jet nozzle from the target surface to jet nozzle diameter, and a lower ratio of spacing of jet nozzle from the target surface to the jet nozzle diameter is desirable to improve the performance of impingement cooling on turbine leading edge.

Heat Transfer Analysis

A high-pressure vane equipped with a realistic film-cooling configuration has been studied. The vane is characterized by the presence of multiple rows of fan-shaped holes along pressure and suction side while the leading edge is protected by a showerhead system of cylindrical holes. Steady three-dimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations have been performed. A preliminary grid sensitivity analysis with uniform inlet flow has been used to quantify the effect of spatial discretization. Turbulence model has been assessed in comparison with available experimental data. The effects of the relative alignment between combustion chamber and high-pressure vanes are then investigated considering realistic inflow conditions in terms of hot spot and swirl. The inlet profiles used are derived from the EU-funded project TATEF2. Two different clocking positions are considered: the first one where hot spot and swirl core are aligned with passage and the second one where they are aligned with the leading edge. Comparisons between metal temperature distributions obtained from conjugate heat transfer simulations are performed evidencing the role of swirl in determining both the hot streak trajectory within the passage and the coolant redistribution. The leading edge aligned configuration is resulted to be the most problematic in terms of thermal load, leading to increased average and local vane temperature peaks on both suction side and pressure side with respect to the passage aligned case. A strong sensitivity of both injected coolant mass flow and heat removed by heat sink effect has also been highlighted for the showerhead cooling system.

High Pressure Turbine

The present tendency of creating new aircraft engines with a higher level of fuel efficiency leads to the necessity to increase gas temperature at a high pressure turbine (HPT) inlet. To design such type of engines, the improvement of accuracy of the computational analysis is required. According to this the numerical analysis methods are constantly developing worldwide. The leading firms in designing aircraft engines carry out investigations in this field. However, this problem has not been resolved completely yet because there are many different factors affecting HPT blade heat conditions. In addition in some cases the numerical methods and approaches require tuning (for example to predict laminar-turbulent transition region or to describe the interaction of boundary layer and shock wave). In this work our advanced approach of blade heat condition numerical estimation based on the three-dimensional computational analysis is presented. The object of investigation is an advanced aircraft engine HPT first stage blade. The given analysis consists of two interrelated parts. The first part is a stator-rotor interaction modeling of the investigated turbine stage (unsteady approach). Solving this task we devoted much attention to modeling unsteady effects of stator-rotor interaction and to describing an influence of applied inlet boundary conditions on the blade heat conditions. In particular, to determine the total pressure, flow angle and total temperature distributions at the stage inlet we performed a numerical modeling of the combustor chamber of the investigated engine. The second part is a flow modeling in the turbine stage using flow parameters averaging on the stator-rotor interface (steady approach). Here we used sufficiently finer grid discretization to model all perforation holes on the stator vane and rotor blade, endwalls films in detail and to apply conjugate heat transfer approach for the rotor blade. Final results were obtained applying the results of steady and unsteady approaches. Experimental data of the investigated blade heat conditions are presented in the paper. These data were obtained during full size experimental testing the core of the engine and were collected using two different type of experimental equipment: thermocouples and thermo-crystals. The comparison of experimental data and final results meets the requirements of our investigation.
