The experiment adopted an actual three-dimensional twisted vane and presents the film cooling characteristics on full-coverage film surface in a two-passage, linear cascade. The cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient of the vane’s whole surface were obtained by using transient liquid crystal measurement technique. The transient liquid crystal is SPN/R35C1W, whose bandwidth is 2°C. There are fifteen rows of film cooling holes which have different diameter, injection angle and yaw angle. The secondary flow was supplied by two cavities. The front cavity supplied the secondary flow to thirteen rows of film cooling holes that were arranged in the suction surface, the leading edge and the front half of the pressure surface. The rear cavity supplied the secondary flow to the rear half of pressure surface which included two rows of film cooling holes. The investigated parameters are Reynolds number of 1 × 105, 1.3 × 105 and 1.6 × 105 and the mass flow ratio of MFR = 5.5%∼12.5% (6 cases). The data recorded in the experiment was analyzed with MATLAB.\u0000 Results show that the combined effects of mass flow ratio and channel vortex are the maintain reasons that influence the distribution of cooling effectiveness in the contour. Increasing the mass flow ratio can improve the film cooling effectiveness on leading edge and pressure surface, while that presents complex rule on suction surface. Increasing the Reynolds number can improve the heat transfer coefficient at the same mass flow ratio. When increasing the mass flow ratio, the heat transfer coefficient increases on leading edge and pressure surface at Re = 1.6 × 105. However, the decreases at film hole outlet region on the suction side, and not obviously changes at the film hole downstream region.","PeriodicalId":239866,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5C: Heat Transfer","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125806502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cooling scheme was first aerodynamically tested to quantify its impact on secondary flows and related losses for variable injection condition. Heat transfer performances were then assessed through the measurement of the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and of the convective heat transfer coefficient. From these data, the Net Heat Flux Reduction (NHFR) parameter was computed to critically assess the cooling scheme. The collected data set is significant for the design process, as it is useful for CFD validation and for the setting up of correlations. In particular, a MFR = 0.7% resulted to be the best injection condition for this geometry, being a compromise between aerodynamic loss augmentation, a good thermal protection inside of the passage and a limited heat load increase to the end wall.","PeriodicalId":239866,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5C: Heat Transfer","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114174451","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The slot geometry consists of a cut back in the blade pressure side connected through rectangular openings to the internal coolant feed passage. The numerical simulation of this kind of film cooling flows is challenging due to the presence of flow interactions like step flow separation, coolant-mainstream mixing and heat transfer.\u0000 The geometry under consideration is a cutback surface at the trailing edge of a constant cross-section aerofoil. The cutback surface is divided into three sections separated by narrow lands. The experiments are conducted in a high speed cascade in Oxford Osney Thermo-Fluids Laboratory at Reynolds and Mach number distributions representative of engine conditions. The capability of CFD methods to capture these flow phenomena is investigated in this paper. The isentropic Mach number and film effectiveness are compared between CFD and pressure sensitive paint (PSP) data. Compared to steady k–ω SST method, Scale Adaptive Simulation (SAS) can agree better with the measurement. Furthermore, the profiles of kinetic energy, production and shear stress obtained by the steady and SAS methods are compared to identify the main source of inaccuracy in RANS simulations. The SAS method is better to capture the unsteady coolant-hot gas mixing and vortex shedding at the slot lip.\u0000 The cross flow is found to affect the film significantly as it triggers flow separation near the lands and reduces the effectiveness. The film is non-symmetric with respect to the half-span plane and different flow features are present in each slot. The effect of mass flow ratio (MFR) on flow pattern and coolant distribution is also studied. The profiles of velocity, kinetic energy and production of turbulent energy are compared among the slots in detail. The MFR not only affects the magnitude but also changes the sign of production.","PeriodicalId":239866,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5C: Heat Transfer","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128886293","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A streamwise-oriented film cooling hole creates a symmetric counter-rotating vortex pair (CRVP) due to the jet interaction with the crossflow. As the orientation of the film cooling hole is incrementally misaligned with the streamwise direction (known as a compound angle), one of the vortices in the CRVP gains strength at the expense of the other until there is a single streamwise vortex that dominates the flowfield. This vortex diffuses the coolant jet and impinges hot gas onto the surface, which can augment heat transfer coefficients in a region uncovered by coolant. Although this has been well studied for cylindrical holes, there is less understanding about the nature of this phenomenon for shaped holes, which are intended to diffuse coolant laterally to minimize flowfield interaction. In the present study, particle image velocimetry (PIV) was used to measure the flowfield of compound angled shaped film cooling holes at several downstream planes normal to the streamwise direction. Five compound angled 7-7-7 holes were tested, from a streamwise oriented hole (0° compound angle) to a 60° compound angle hole, in increments of 15°. All cases were tested at a density ratio of 1.0 and blowing ratios ranging from 1.0 to 4.0. Experimental data shows that the circulation increases as compound angle increases because the flowfield transitions from a CRVP to a single streamwise vortex. For large compound angles, the streamwise vortex lifts the core of the jet off of the surface, isolating the coolant from the endwall. Measurements also indicate hole-to-hole interaction downstream for cases with high blowing ratio and large compound angle. Flowfield results are compared with adiabatic effectiveness results from a companion study in order to explain hole-to-hole interaction trends.","PeriodicalId":239866,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5C: Heat Transfer","volume":"355 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124052494","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To obtain the film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient, transient temperature measurement technique on complete surface based on double thermochromic liquid crystals is used in this research. A semi-cylinder model is used to model the vane leading edge which is arranged with two rows of holes. Four test models are measured under four blowing ratios including cylindrical film holes with and without impingement tube structure, laid-back film holes with and without impingement tube structure. This is the second part of a two-part paper, the first part paper GT2018-76061 focuses on film cooling effectiveness and this study will focus on heat transfer. Contours of surface heat transfer coefficient and laterally averaged result are presented in this paper. The result shows that the heat transfer coefficient on the surface of the leading edge is enhanced with the increase of blowing ratio for same structure. The shape of the high heat transfer coefficient region gradually inclines to span-wise direction as the blowing ratio increases. Heat transfer coefficient in the region where the jet core flows through is relatively lower, while in the jet edge region the heat transfer coefficient is relatively higher. Compared with cylindrical hole, laid-back holes give higher heat transfer coefficient. Meanwhile, the introduction of impingement also makes heat transfer coefficient higher compared with cross flow air intake. It is found that the heat transfer of the combination of laid-back hole and impingement tube can be very high under large blowing ratio which should get attention in the design process.","PeriodicalId":239866,"journal":{"name":"Volume 5C: Heat Transfer","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130363302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
