Abstract

Turbine blades operate under a harsh environmental condition, and the inlet temperature of gas turbines is increasing with requirement of high engine effi-ciency. Some cooling schemes are adopted to prevent these blades from the ther-mal erosion of the hot mainstream. Film cooling technology is used widely and effectively in gas turbines. The coolant air is suppressed to the wall by the main-stream after jetting out of the film hole. A new hole configuration is first pro-posed to improve the film cooling characteristics in this paper. Comparison be-tween a conventional cylindrical hole and a new combined hole is conducted by CFD, and effects of various blowing ratios and droplet sizes are also investigat-ed. Results show that the... (More)

Turbine blades operate under a harsh environmental condition, and the inlet temperature of gas turbines is increasing with requirement of high engine effi-ciency. Some cooling schemes are adopted to prevent these blades from the ther-mal erosion of the hot mainstream. Film cooling technology is used widely and effectively in gas turbines. The coolant air is suppressed to the wall by the main-stream after jetting out of the film hole. A new hole configuration is first pro-posed to improve the film cooling characteristics in this paper. Comparison be-tween a conventional cylindrical hole and a new combined hole is conducted by CFD, and effects of various blowing ratios and droplet sizes are also investigat-ed. Results show that the combined hole configuration provides a wider coverage than that in the cylindrical hole configuration case at high blowing ratios (M = 1.0 and M = 1.5). In addition, the film cooling with mist injection also provides a significant enhancement on cooling performance especially for the combined hole case with a small droplet size (10-5 m).
