THE EFFECT OF CONJUGATE HEAT TRANSFER ON FILM COOLING EFFECTIVENESS

摘要

The film cooling effectiveness of a two-dimensional gas turbine endwall is compared for the cases of conjugate heat transfer and an adiabatic wall condition using five common turbulence models. The turbulence models employed in this study are: the RNG k–e model, the realizable k–e model, the standard k–x model, the SST k–x model, and the RSM model. The computed flow field and surface temperature profiles along with the film effectiveness for one and two cooling slots at different injection angles are presented. The results show the strong effect of conjugate heat transfer on the film effectiveness compared to the adiabatic case and also compared to the effectiveness values obtained from analytically solvable models.
