Abstract
A double-wall cooling structure with a sinusoidal corrugated target surface is put forward to optimize the cooling performance and improve the temperature uniformity of gas turbine blades. The improvement is achieved by altering the length-to-diameter ratio of effusion holes and thermal resistance around the stagnation point by adjusting the corrugation amplitude and the positioning of film holes. Conjugate heat transfer (CHT) analysis is conducted to study the flow characteristics, cooling performance, and temperature uniformity. The results depict that the structure with effusion holes located at the valley exhibits the best comprehensive cooling performance under all operating conditions. In comparison to the double-wall structure with a flat target surface, when the impingement distance is set to 1 and the blowing ratio is 1, the overall cooling effectiveness increased by 2.59%, and the temperature uniformity within the solid domain and on the mainstream side of the effusion cooling plate increased by 5.6% and 5.8%, respectively. Furthermore, the Nusselt number on the target surface shows a bimodal peak annular distribution when the blowing ratio is 2. The largest second peak of the Nusselt number occurs for the structure with film holes at the valley, which is closest to the stagnation point at approximately 1.5D radially. Conversely, the structure with film holes at the peak shows the smallest second peak, which occurs furthest away at around 1.9D. Finally, increasing the impingement distance reduces temperature uniformity within the solid domain but affects overall cooling effectiveness less.
