Surface temperature reduction by using dimples/protrusions in a realistic turbine blade trailing edge
(2018) In Numerical Heat Transfer; Part A: Applications 74(5). p.1265-1283- Abstract
In this article, numerical simulations have been conducted on the heat transfer effect of dimple/protrusion layouts of a pin-finned wedge duct. Conjugate heat transfer calculations are further performed to investigate the cooling effect of modified schemes with dimples and protrusions added. Comparisons are carried out with a turbine second stage guide vane employed as the prototype. The dimple/protrusion-pin fin arrangement is set as the optimum one obtained above, and dimple depth/protrusion height varies from 0.2 to 0.3 times the structure diameter. It is found that the side-by-side arrangement and protrusion structure is more beneficial for the wedge duct endwall heat transfer. Comparison with the prototype blade shows that the... (More)
In this article, numerical simulations have been conducted on the heat transfer effect of dimple/protrusion layouts of a pin-finned wedge duct. Conjugate heat transfer calculations are further performed to investigate the cooling effect of modified schemes with dimples and protrusions added. Comparisons are carried out with a turbine second stage guide vane employed as the prototype. The dimple/protrusion-pin fin arrangement is set as the optimum one obtained above, and dimple depth/protrusion height varies from 0.2 to 0.3 times the structure diameter. It is found that the side-by-side arrangement and protrusion structure is more beneficial for the wedge duct endwall heat transfer. Comparison with the prototype blade shows that the addition of both dimples and protrusions are helpful in enhancing the trailing edge cooling effect. The cooling effect is increased with an increase in dimple depth/protrusion height. The results also show that the modified blade with protrusions attached at 0.3 height saves 0.48 g/s cooling mass flow and reaches the most positive performance with a 17 K, 14 K average temperature reduction, 0.022, 0.018 cooling effect increasing for pressure, suction side, respectively.
