Aerodynamics Performance of Endwall Film Cooling under the Influence of Purge Flow in High Pressure Turbine Cascade

Abstract:

Modern gas turbine requires sophisticated cooling technologies to avoid thermal failure due to the extreme operating environment. Film cooling is one of the most important cooling technologies used for gas turbine hot-section components, particularly for blade aerofoil surfaces and endwall. Previous research has shown that the endwall region is considerably more difficult to cool than the blade aerofoil surfaces because of the existence of complex secondary flow structures such as horse-shoe vortex, cross flow and passage vortex in the blade passage. Therefore, this study focuses on aerodynamics interaction of the cooling air through the upstream slot with the secondary flow field. Experiments carried out using 5-holes Pitot tube have revealed the secondary flow field at blade downstream of linear cascade of high pressure turbine. A baseline condition without any leakage flows was compared with the leakage ejection case. Finally, both cases were validated by simulations from commercial software, ANSYS CFX.
