The film cooling process using large molecular hydrocarbon fuels differs from conventional inert cooling gases, as their physical properties and chemical reactions significantly influence the interaction between the film outflow and the main flow, thereby affecting overall film cooling effectiveness. The study aims to conduct numerical investigations to explore the influence of coolant physical parameters, chemical characteristics, and the structural configuration of discrete holes on the cooling efficiency of cylindrical discrete film cooling systems. The results show that the cooling efficiency of the inert hydrocarbon fuel discrete film surpasses that of the air discrete film under identical blowing ratio conditions, and the chemical reactions of the hydrocarbon fuel can further increase the spreading cooling range of the discrete film. The trend of secondary flow intensity within the discrete hole is correlated with the hole length-to-diameter ratio, and the air medium and hydrocarbon fuel have different sensitivities to changes in this ratio, which are affected by viscous dissipation effects. Furthermore, the chemical reactions of the hydrocarbon fuel enhance the lateral cooling range of the discrete film. The chemical reactions weaken the intensity of kidney-shaped vortex pairs within the jet, which is reflected in the spreading direction moving toward the outside of the mixing layer, promoting the expansion of the coverage range of the discrete film. Moreover, increasing the <em>L/D</em> ratio from <em>L/D</em> = 2 to <em>L/D</em> = 5 results in a 10 % expansion of the lateral cooling range of the hydrocarbon fuel discrete film.

This leeway leads to seemingly perfectly validated numerical models, although they often contain strong simplifications and the input parameters have large uncertainties. To shed more light on this contradiction, we perform a combined uncertainty and sensitivity analysis of a classical validation problem — a paraffin melting from one side in a cuboid. The input parameters of the combined uncertainty and sensitivity analysis are the thermophysical properties of the phase change material (PCM) and the boundary and initial conditions of the experiment.

Therefore, these parameters should be measured with higher accuracy to further improve the accuracy of the simulation. In addition to the liquid fraction, the heat flux flowing through the hot and cold sides of the simulation domain and the maximum velocity in the fluid phase are also considered targets of the combined uncertainty and sensitivity analysis. Here we see that the heat flux of the cold side is the target variable with the greatest uncertainty.
