However, its high flow resistance poses a significant challenge to its application in turbine vanes. This study introduces an innovative double-wall structure incorporating hollow pin-fins to reduce flow resistance and enhance cooling performance. Numerical simulations are conducted to compare this novel structure with traditional double-wall and single-wall configurations. Additionally, the film hole shape of the optimal cooling structure is modified to a laid-back fan shape for further performance improvements. The simulations employ the RANS model, using the SST <em>k-ω</em> turbulence model. Key performance metrics, including the coolant flow coefficient, film cooling effectiveness, target plate Nusselt number, and overall cooling effectiveness, are evaluated for different cooling structures. The results demonstrate a significant reduction in flow resistance for the novel design, as the addition of hollow pin-fins facilitates a coolant outflow mechanism similar to that of a single-wall structure. The novel double-wall design reduces the flow coefficient by 5.4% compared to the single wall. In terms of cooling performance, the hollow pin-fins positioned on the spanwise sides of the film holes help prevent film detachment at high blowing ratios, while the pin–fin in the impingement chamber increases the internal heat transfer surface area. Overall, the cooling effectiveness of the novel design improves by up to 4.6% compared to the traditional double-wall structure. When laid-back fan-shaped holes are applied to the novel double-wall structure, further reductions in flow resistance and enhancements in cooling performance are observed. The increased channel area allows for a 6.7% increase in the flow coefficient compared to the single wall. Moreover, the double-wall structure with laid-back fan-shaped holes significantly enhances film adhesion, leading to a 70.0% improvement in film effectiveness and a 15.9% increase in overall cooling effectiveness compared to traditional double-walls.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":335,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 109686"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143140177","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although numerous studies have proposed strategies for skin-friction reduction, their effectiveness generally degrades at high Reynolds numbers (Re) owing to the multiscale nature of wall turbulence. To address this challenge, it is necessary to understand coherent structures that span a wider range at high Re, particularly those that extend down to the wall. Hence, we explore wall-attached momentum transfer structures in drag-reduced flows and investigate the associated Re effects on the skin-friction reduction. We perform direct numerical simulations of drag-reduced flows at two bulk Re of 10,000 and 20,000 by employing the Navier slip boundary condition. For comparison, we conduct no-slip cases at the same bulk Re. We extract clusters of intense ejections and sweeps responsible for momentum transfer in instantaneous flow fields. We observe that wall-attached momentum transfer structures play a dominant role in the turbulent skin friction quantified through the FIK identity (<span><span>Fukagata et al., 2002</span></span>). These structures are classified into buffer-layer, self-similar, and non-self-similar ones according to their height. The self-similar structures not only exhibit geometrical self-similarity but also maintain their Reynolds shear stress distribution relative to the local Reynolds shear stress under slip conditions. Moreover, these self-similar structures show nearly identical skin-friction reduction across all heights. In contrast, the non-self-similar structures exhibit a significant difference under slip conditions, especially at a high Re. The reduced area fraction and volume of non-self-similar structures, along with decreased wall-normal transport under slip conditions, result in a greater skin-friction reduction compared to that observed at the low Re. Our findings advance the understanding of the scale-dependent behavior of wall-attached structures in drag-reduced flows, paving the way for the development of new drag-reduction methods through the strategic manipulation of these structures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":335,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Heat and Fluid Flow","volume":"112 ","pages":"Article 109675"},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143140176","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
