Under-predicting the spanwise spreading of film cooling is a big problem in the film cooling computation. This is mainly due to the incorrect simulation of the spanwise transport of the jet in crossflow by conventional isotropic eddy viscosity turbulent models. An improved algebraic anisotropic eddy viscosity method including both the influence of the wall and the strain of the mean flow field to the anisotropic ratio has been raised by the authors in the paper, referred to as Algebraic Anisotropic Eddy Viscosity (AAEV) method. An equation derived from the algebraic Reynolds stress transport equations is applied to compute the anisotropic eddy-viscosity ratio. The variation of the anisotropic eddy-viscosity ratio is a Junction of both the dimensionless wall distance and the local mean flow field. This method is applied to the two layer k-e model with a one-equation model in near-wall region to form a new turbulent model- AAEV k-e model. The new model is tested for the computation of a flat plate film cooling flow with an inclined row of streamwise injected jets. Comparison of the results between the AAEV k-e model and two-layer k-e model with the measured adiabatic film-cooling effectiveness distributions indicates that the AAEV k-e model can correctly predict the spanwise spreading of the film and reduce the strength of the secondary vortices.
