Validation of Unstructured Cfd Modelling Applied to the C3x Turbine including Conjugate Heat Transfer
نویسندگان
چکیده
ABSTRACT This paper supports a concerted effort towards validating an unstructured finite volume methodology for combined flow, thermal and stress analysis of turbine blades. In this part, CFD and conjugate heat transfer solutions are compared against measured surface pressure and heat transfer profiles on the C3X turbine. Sensitivities of the prediction to inlet turbulence levels and laminar-to-turbulent boundary layer transition are also presented.

متن کاملFluid Flow and Heat Transfer of Nanofluids over a Flat Plate with Conjugate Heat Transfer
The falling and settling of solid particles in gases and liquids is a natural phenomenon happens in many industrial processes. This phenomenon has altered pure forced convection to a combination of heat conduction and heat convection in a flow over a plate. In this paper, the coupling of conduction (inside the plate) and forced convection of a non-homogeneous nanofluid flow (over a flat plate) ...
متن کاملTurbine Blade Cascade Heat Transfer Analysis Using CFD –A Review
Heat transfer analysis on a turbine blade cascade using CFD is reviewed in this paper based upon the literature available. The flow conditions across turbine blades are complex because of three dimensional configuration of the blade. Axial flow turbine blade design is hectic because understanding of control flows, prediction and analysis is a tedious task. The flow behaviour in a turbine blade ...
