Combined-hole film cooling with the application of double flow control devices

摘要

In the modern gas turbine, film cooling system was applied to the turbine blades to provide thermal protection from extreme turbine inlet temperatures. Recent literature discovers that adding the double flow control device (DFCD) and combining two cylindrical holes (combinedhole) are the ways to further enhance the film cooling performances. In the present simulation work, the influence of DFCD on the combined-hole film cooling was investigated at different blowing ratios. The comparison between two different computational domains of combined-hole film cooling with and without DFCD was further discussed in the present work. The results show that increase the blowing ratio, M rise the overall performance of combined-hole film cooling with and without DFCD. Based on the different computational domain, combined-hole with DFCD has better lateral spread at M = 0.5 and M = 0.75 in comparison with the combined-hole without DFCD. However, due to large counter clockwise vortex produced by the combined-hole with DFCD, unsymmetrical film cooling coverage was formed along the streamwise direction at M = 1.0 and M =1.5. As the conclusion, combined-hole film cooling with DFCD has better performance at M = 0.5 and M = 0.75 while combined-hole film cooling without DFCD has better performance at high blowing ratio of M = 1.0 and M = 1.5.
