Numerical Approach at Flat Plate for Predicting the Film Cooling Effectiveness Part A: Effect Blowing Ratio

Article Preview

Abstract:

Film cooling is vital for gas turbine blades to protect them from thermal stresses and high temperatures due to the hot gas flow in the blade surface. Film cooling is applied to almost all external surfaces associated with aerodynamic profiles that are exposed to hot combustion gases such as main bodies, end-walls, blade tips and leading edges. In a review of the literature, it was found that there are strong effects of free-stream turbulence, surface curvature and hole shape on film cooling performance also blowing ratio. The performance of the film cooling is difficult to predict due to the inherent complex flow fields along the surfaces of the airfoil components in the turbine engines. From all what we introducing the film cooling is reviewed through a discussion of the analyses methodologies, a physical description, and the various influences on film-cooling performance. Initially Computational analysis was done on a flat plate with hole inclined at 55° to the surface plate. This study focuses on the efficient computation of film cooling flows with three blowing ratio. The numerical results show the effectiveness cooling and heat transfer behavior with increasing injection blowing ratio M (0.5, 1, and 1.5). The influence of increased blade film cooling can be assessed via the values of Nusselt number in terms of reduced heat transfer to the blade. Predictions of film effectiveness are compared with experimental results for a circular jet at blowing ratios ranging from 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5. The present results are obtained at a free stream turbulence of 10%, which are the typical conditions upstream of the effectiveness is generally lower for a large stream-wise angle of 55°.
