NUMERICAL STUDY ON FILM-COOLING EFFECTIVENESS FOR VARIOUS FILM-COOLING HOLE SCHEMES

다양한 막냉각 홀 형상에 대한 막냉각 효율의 수치해석

To protect the turbine blade, many cooling techniques has developed. With all other things, film-cooling has been widely used as the important alternative. In the present work, numerical analysis has been performed to investigate and to compare the film-cooling performance of various film-cooling hole schemes such as cylindrical, crescent, louver, and dumbbell holes. To analyze the turbulent flow and the film-cooling mechanism, three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes analysis has been performed with shear stress transport turbulence model. The validation of numerical results has been assessed in comparison with experimental data. The characteristics of fluid flow and the film-cooling performance for each shaped hole have been investigated and evaluated in terms of centerline, laterally averaged and spatially averaged film-cooling effectivenesses. The dumbbell shaped hole shows better film-cooling effectiveness than other shaped holes. And the louver and cylindrical shaped hole shows lower one, and concentrated flow on centerline only.
