Effect of truncated pin-fins on flow and heat transfer characteristics with impinging jets on a concave surface

Qiu, Dandan LU and Sunden, Bengt LU (2024) In Numerical Heat Transfer; Part A: Applications
Abstract

The double-wall cooling system containing jet impingement and full-length pin-in cooling structures shows good performance in heat transfer enhancement and uniformity, which has-been used in the blade cooling design. However, the pressure loss induced by the full-length pin-fin is relatively high. It is very meaningful to get a cooling type which can balance the heat transfer performance of double-wall cooling and flow resistance, especially for the blade leading edge. In this study, numerical simulations have been carried out to study the influences of truncated pin-fins height and arrangement on heat transfer increment and flow behavior of jets impinging onto a concave double wall channel with varying truncated pin-fins arranged,...

The double-wall cooling system containing jet impingement and full-length pin-in cooling structures shows good performance in heat transfer enhancement and uniformity, which has-been used in the blade cooling design. However, the pressure loss induced by the full-length pin-fin is relatively high. It is very meaningful to get a cooling type which can balance the heat transfer performance of double-wall cooling and flow resistance, especially for the blade leading edge. In this study, numerical simulations have been carried out to study the influences of truncated pin-fins height and arrangement on heat transfer increment and flow behavior of jets impinging onto a concave double wall channel with varying truncated pin-fins arranged, considering the heat transfer enhancement potential and relatively weaken pressure loss penalty of truncated/broken pin-fin. Jets impingement on a smooth-concave surface is regarded as Baseline. Streamlines in two-dimensional sections in the channel and limiting streamlines near the target wall conjugated with flow characteristics figures are applied to better understand the flow structures in the channel. The local and averaged heat transfer performance is analyzed based on the flow discussions. The overall parameters, i.e., thermal performance, friction factor and pumping power, are also obtained. The results show that the introduction of relatively high truncated pin-fins located on the upper wall presents higher heat transfer enhancement and lower pressure loss comparing with the full-length case and truncated pin-fins located on pressure loss comparing with the full-length case and truncated pin-fins located on target wall cases. The truncated pin-fins placed on the upper surface with relative height of 0.75 reaches the highest overall thermal performance and uniformity in this work.
