Abstract
To reduce the unsteadiness and enhance the time-averaged film coverage performance, a novel conception of variable hole-diameter and arrangement is suggested. Five rows of film-holes with diameters ranging from 0.0020 m to 0.0038 m are embedded on a flat plate, including five kinds of arrangements. The effects of arrangement scheme, blowing ratio and plate thickness on the unsteadiness and time-averaged behaviors are experimentally investigated by time-resolved quantitative light sheet technique. The spatial modes of large-scale structures are analyzed by proper orthogonal decomposition analysis, and the flow field are characterized by momentum thickness and velocity distribution. The present work reveals two important and valuable phenomena: 1) For the thin plate (small length-to-diameter ratio, L/D), the arrangement of “hole-diameter from large to small” can achieve the highest time-averaged film coverage performance and the lowest unsteadiness than the other arrangements. 2) Compared with the thick plate (large L/D) with unchanged hole-diameter, the thin plates with the arrangements of “hole-diameter from large to small” and “small hole-diameter in the middle” can provide higher time-averaged performance and lower unsteadiness. This exploration may provide the investigators and designers of film cooling with a new thread.
