Computation of leading edge film cooling from a CONSOLE geometry (CONverging Slot hOLE)

The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of mass flow rate on film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer over a gas turbine rotor blade with three staggered rows of shower-head holes which are inclined at 30° to the spanwise direction, and are normal to the streamwise direction on the blade. To improve film cooling effectiveness, the standard cylindrical holes, located on the leading edge region, are replaced with the converging slot holes (console). The ANSYS CFX has been used for this computational simulation. The turbulence is approximated by a k-ε model. Detailed film effectiveness distributions are presented for different mass flow rate. The numerical results are compared with experimental data.     

Numerical simulation of a flat plate film cooling with a coolant supply into different shape indentations

Results of a film cooling numerical simulation over a flat plate with coolant supply into indentations of different shape are reported. The calculations were performed for the blowing-ratio changed from 0.5 to 2.0. For comparison, data for traditional film cooling scheme with one row of discrete cylindrical inclined holes were used. At small value of blowing ratio (m = 0.5), the average film-cooling efficiency is roughly identical for all indentations tested. With blowing ratio growth, the scheme with a coolant supply into the transverse trench demonstrates the best results.

Numerical approach to new tangential slot effect on film cooling effectiveness over asymmetrical turbine blade

The focus of this numerical study is to conceive a new basic film cooling configuration in order to increase film cooling effectiveness, especially at the leading edge zone between the injection holes where cooling is mostly needed. The new configuration, resulting from the tangential slot configuration and especially adapted to the leading edge of an asymmetrical blade, is compared to the uniform slot configuration. Three alternatives geometries were proposed and numerically tested to find the configuration that provides the best film cooling effectiveness. The simulation is conducted at a fixed density ratio of 1.0 and a blowing ratio of 0.7. A new parameter, Rc, is defined to measure the rate of blade coverage by the film cooling. The outcomes of the numerical results indicate that the three proposed configurations allow better thermal protection because of their higher film cooling coverage. At suction side, the new configurations provide a better film cooling coverage than the baseline case. The minimal improvement is at approximately 34%, with a light superiority of case 1. At pressure side, the use of the tangential slot is especially interesting for the allowed minimum adiabatic effectiveness values between 0.3 and 0.5.     

INVESTIGATION OF A QUASI-STEADY LIQUID CRYSTAL TECHNIQUE FOR FILM COOLING HEAT TRANSFER MEASUREMENTS

A quasi-steady technique to simultaneously measure the local heat transfer coefficient and cooling effectiveness on surfaces involving film cooling situations is investigated. The method employs a composite slab consisting of a very thin laminate layer of low-thermal-conductivity material superposed upon a highly conductive metal substrate. The resulting heat transfer in the thin laminate is described by one-dimensional conduction. A very thin coating of thermochromic liquid crystals sprayed onto the surface of the laminate is used in conjunction with a computer image processing procedure to provide local surface temperature data. This information, combined with the substrate and mainstream gas temperatures, provides highly detailed (90 video pixels/cm²) local convection heat transfer distributions. The method is used to conduct flat-plate film cooling experiments consisting of a single row of discrete holes inclined at 35 to the mainstream flow. The local surface temperature is influenced by the combination of two interacting fluid streams at different temperatures. A numerical analysis was performed to assess the assumptions underlying the data reduction procedure. The experimental uncertainty of 7% in the heat transfer coefficient is comparable to prior studies. Furthermore, the uncertainty of 5% in the film cooling effectiveness, coupled with the negligible lateral conduction errors, indicates the present technique offers a unique capability for accurate measurement of the local film cooling effectiveness.     

涡轮叶片端壁槽缝气与离散气膜孔冷却特性实验研究

真实发动机涡轮叶片端壁为曲面造型,并且其冷却受槽缝气、泄漏流和离散气膜冷却多种冷却气叠加影响,同时又受到主流二次流影响,因此呈现复杂冷却特性。为研究接近真实发动机涡轮叶片端壁构型和工况下的气膜冷却特性,本文采用高速风洞(主流雷诺数为37万)及压敏漆(PSP)技术,研究了槽缝气、泄漏流以及离散气膜对曲面端壁的气膜冷却效率的影响,并针对不同冷气流量比对端壁气膜冷效的影响规律进行了对比分析。结果表明:端壁表面气膜冷效随着槽缝气流量比增大而增大,当流量比增大到1.71%时,槽缝气膜几乎可以覆盖整个端壁表面;与槽缝气相比,端壁表面的离散气膜冷气覆盖范围较为有限,端壁压力面侧下游区域气膜覆盖较差;在喉部之前,随着流量比增大,离散气膜冷效呈现下降趋势;在喉部之后,随着流量比从1.3%增大到1.9%,离散气膜冷效呈现上升趋势;与仅有离散气膜相比,包含槽缝气、泄漏流、离散气膜的全气膜覆盖更为均匀,全气膜冷效的叠加使得端壁冷效相比仅有离散气膜时整体提高了93.4%。     

涡轮叶顶冷却布置对叶顶传热冷却性能的影响

本文采用数值模拟的方法,对比分析了1+1/2对转涡轮四种不同的叶顶冷却布置方案对叶顶传热、冷却性能以及气动特性的影响。四种布置方案分别是:靠近压力面垂直叶顶方向、靠近压力面且与叶顶有30°出射角、中弧线位置垂直叶顶方向、中弧线位置有30°出射角。研究表明,气膜孔沿压力面布置与气膜孔沿中弧线布置相比可以降低叶顶传热系数;由于气膜孔倾斜布置气膜射流动量降低,且削弱了肾形涡的影响,气膜的侧向覆盖范围增大。因此气膜孔靠近压力面布置可以提高气膜冷却效率;气膜孔靠近压力面且有30°出射角比垂直布置叶顶热负荷减少2.7%。另外,气膜孔靠近压力面布置可以降低主流的泄漏流量,有利于减小泄漏损失和提高涡轮效率。     

非定常尾迹对气膜冷却影响的数值研究

周期性压力波动对气膜孔流动特性影响的研究

针对主流周期性压力波动的非稳态气膜冷却现象,分别采用非稳态及准稳态数值模拟进行了计算,通过对比揭示了非稳态气膜冷却现象的特征。结果表明:相对于主流的压力波动,气膜孔出口受到上一个时刻压力的影响,呈现出了波动延迟特性;针对本文所研究的波形特点,压力波动一方面导致压差(二次流与主流压力差值)变化无法快速直接地影响到二次流流动,阻止了倒流的发生,使得二次流流量更加稳定;另一方面,其携带的压力波动效应使得气膜孔出口形成贴壁性较好的环向外旋涡,将喷射出去的二次流重新带回壁面,使得二次流贴敷壁面。对于某一特定的主流波动特性而言,是存在在最佳设计长径比使得气膜孔质量流量特性及防止倒流特性达到最佳。本文研究对于涡轮周期性压力波动作用下的气膜孔气膜冷却研究具有较大的意义。     

Experimental and Numerical Study of Film Cooling with Internal Coolant Cross-Flow Effects

This study experimentally and numerically analyzes the effect of the coolant cross-flow on film-cooling effectiveness. The three kinds of film holes considered are cylindrical, fan-shaped, and trenched holes. The results show that the internal coolant flow has a large effect on film cooling. The film-cooling effectiveness of the cross-flow coolant model is larger than that of the plenum model for the cylindrical and trenched holes, but it is less for the fan-shaped hole. A comparison of the experimental and numerical results shows that the Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes model exaggerated the coolant diffusion downstream but underestimates the lateral distribution.     

Droplet-Laden Mist Film Cooling Effectiveness of Cylindrical Holes Embedded in a Transverse Trench

A three-dimensional numerical model of calculating in the Euler approach is developed to calculate a two-phase turbulent near-wall flow; simulation of thermal efficiency of a gas-droplet shielding injected into a transverse trench through inclined cylindrical holes is fulfilled. The influence of the main thermo-gas-dynamic characteristics of the two-phase flow on thermal efficiency is analyzed. Significant increase in thermal efficiency was obtained by adding droplets in the nearwall coolant flow (up to 2 times in comparison with a single-phase flow). A particular advantage of this method of coolant injection is achieved at high injection parameters. It is shown that the use of two-phase gas-droplet near-wall shielding is promising for protection of surfaces against thermal influence of the heated gas flows.     

Effect of impingement jet on the full-coverage film cooling system with double layered wall

The present study was conducted to evaluate the total cooling effectiveness in combined full-coverage film cooling and impingement jet using an infrared thermographic technique. The effect of film cooling hole angle, blowing ratio, and height to diameter ratio between the film cooling and impingement jet plates was discussed. The total cooling effectiveness increased as impingement jet cooling was added. The angled film cooling holes had approximately 4.6% higher total cooling effectiveness than the normal film cooling holes. The total cooling effectiveness was almost constant regardless of height to diameter ratio, but enhanced as the blowing ratio was increased.     

Application of local indentations for film cooling of gas turbine blade leading edge

The paper presents results of computer simulation of the film cooling on the turbine blade leading edge model where the air coolant is supplied through radial holes and row of cylindrical inclined holes placed inside hemispherical dimples or trench. The blowing factor was varied from 0.5 to 2.0. The model size and key initial parameters for simulation were taken as for a real blade of a high-pressure high-performance gas turbine. Simulation was performed using commercial software code ANSYS CFX. The simulation results were compared with reference variant (no dimples or trench) both for the leading edge area and for the flat plate downstream of the leading edge.     

凹槽叶顶冷气射流对涡轮叶尖泄漏流动的影响

涡轮叶尖泄漏流动对涡轮通道内流动损失有着显著影响,叶顶冷气射流对控制叶尖泄漏流动和改善涡轮叶尖气热性能有重要意义。本文利用数值模拟方法,研究了叶顶冷气喷射位置和喷射流量对高压涡轮凹槽叶顶间隙泄漏流动控制的影响。文中重点分析了泄漏流动结构及涡轮气动效率的变化,探讨了冷气对刮削涡这一间隙内主控流动结构演化的影响。研究表明,冷气孔位置的变化对间隙内刮削涡的演化造成了一定影响,但并未造成涡轮整体效率的较大变化;而冷气喷射流量不仅影响到刮削涡结构演化,而且导致了涡轮级效率近0.5%的变化。     

带气膜孔内部冷却通道的流动传热特性

燃气轮机高温透平内部冷却通道中弯头、肋片和气膜孔之间存在着复杂的交互作用。本文采用瞬态液晶技术对光滑通道、无抽吸的带肋通道和有气膜孔抽吸的带肋通道的表面传热分布和沿程压力损失进行了详细测量,同时采用RANS数值模拟方法研究其流场特性。结果表明180°弯头产生的大分离是压力损失的主要因素,45°斜肋片产生的螺旋形流动在弯头与大分离交互作用明显,气膜孔抽吸破坏孔附近边界层使得肋间传热而相对集中于孔附近。在13%抽吸量条件下,气膜孔抽吸降低U型通道中压力损失约20%,同时保持传热强化程度与无抽吸工况相同。     

Heat transfer and friction factor characteristic of spherical and inclined teardrop dimple channel subjected to forced convection

An experimental and numerical investigation is performed in order to determine the outcome of dimple geometries on the heat transfer and friction factor in a dimple cooling channel subjected to turbulent flow. Two geometries taken into consideration are spherical and inclined teardrop. In order to have a better comparison between the two different dimple channel, the dimple depth, total wetted area of dimple, and dimple pitch have been kept constant. In case of spherical and inclined teardrop dimple channels, heat transfer augmentation, friction losses, and flow pattern have been obtained for a Reynolds Number range from 14,000 to 65,000. The investigation shows that the dimple geometry has a significant contribution to increasing the heat transfer augmentation and determining the flow pattern. The inclined teardrop dimple arrangement shows the maximum heat transfer that is 17% higher than the spherical dimple channel, whereas inclined teardrop dimple results in the rise of friction factor of about 5.93–16.14% times as compared to the spherical dimple within the specified Reynolds number. The inclined teardrop and spherical dimple channel show the heat transfer enhancement of 2.74 to 3.20 times and 2.38 to 2.68 times than that of smooth channels provided thermal boundary conditions and flow conditions are kept same. The numerical study has been performed, which provided a detailed insight into the flow structures and vortex formations in spherical and inclined teardrop dimple channel.     

Extraordinary light transmission through a metal film perforated by a subwavelength hole array

It is shown that, depending on the incident wave frequency and the system geometry, the extraordinary transmission of light through a metal film perforated by an array of subwavelength holes can be described by one of the three mechanisms: the “transparency window” in the metal, excitation of the Fabry–Perot resonance of a collective mode produced by the hybridization of evanescence modes of the holes and surface plasmons, and excitation of a plasmon on the rear boundary of the film. The excitation of a plasmon resonance on the front boundary of the metal film does not make any substantial contribution to the transmission coefficient, although introduces a contribution to the reflection coefficient.

Unsteady film cooling with imposed nonuniform pulsations of the main flow

Effects of the main flow pulsations on the unsteady adiabatic film cooling efficiency were investigated. The possibility of using the critical value of the modified Strouhal number for the single-row perforation to identify the quasi-steady flow in the double-row perforation was proved. The penetration of disturbances into the perforation channels due to “plunger” effect was observed. The influence of the imposed pulsations on the adiabatic film cooling efficiency was shown to be weaker for the double-row perforation as compared to the single-row perforation.
