Film cooling effectiveness in single row of holes: First moment closure modeling

author

Abstract:

The present article focuses on the evaluation of a first-moment closure model applicable to film cooling flow and heat transfer computations. The present first-moment closure model consists of a higher level of turbulent heat flux modeling in which two additional transport equations for temperature variance kθ and its dissipation rate εθ are considered. It not only employs a time scale that is characteristic of the turbulent momentum field, but also an additional time scale devoted to the turbulent thermal field. The low Reynolds number k — ε turbulence model is combined with a two-equation kθ — εθ  heat flux model to simulate the flow and heat transfer in a three-dimensional single row of cylindrical holes film cooling application. Comparisons with available experimental data show that the two-equation heat flux model improves the over-predictions of center-line film cooling effectiveness caused by the standard simple eddy diffusivity (SED) model with a fixed value of turbulent Prandtl number. This is due to the enhancement of turbulent heat flux components in the first-moment closure simulations. Also, the span wise distributions of effectiveness are computed with more accuracy due to better predictions of coolant jet spreading. However, the limitations of first-moment closure due to its isotropic approach should be taken into consideration.

Film Effectiveness Downstream of a Row of Compound Angle Film Holes

Effects that two different compound-angle film-hole configurations have on film cooling effectiveness are investigated. Effectiveness measurements have been made downstream of a single row of compound-angle cylindrical holes with a diameter of 7.5 mm, and a single row of compound-angle, diffuser-shaped holes with an inlet diameter of 7.5 mm. Both geometries were inclined with respect to the cov...

Effect of Uncertainty in Blowing Ratio on Film Cooling Effectiveness

In this study, the effect of randomness of blowing ratio on film cooling performance is investigated by combining direct numerical simulations with a stochastic collocation approach. The geometry includes a 35-deg inclined jet with a plenum attached to it. The blowing ratio variations are assumed to have a truncated Gaussian distribution with mean of 0.3 and the standard variation of approximat...

Shape optimization of impingement and film cooling holes on a flat plate using a feedforward ANN and GA

Numerical simulations of a three-dimensional model of impingement and film cooling on a flat plate are presented and validated with the available experimental data. Four different turbulence models were utilized for simulation, in which SST  had the highest precision, resulting in less than 4% maximum error in temperature estimation. A simplified geometry with periodic boundary conditions is de...

Optimization of Forcing Parameters of Film Cooling Effectiveness

An optimization strategy is described that combines high-fidelity simulations with response surface construction, and is applied to pulsed film cooling for turbine blades. The response surface is constructed for the film cooling effectiveness as a function of duty cycle, in the range of DC between 0.05 and 1, and pulsation frequency St in the range of 0.2–2, using a pseudospectral projection me...
