The flow and heat/mass transfer characteristics on the squealer tip surface of a high-turning turbine rotor blade have been investigated at a Reynolds number of $2.09{\times}10^5$, by employing the oil-film flow visualization and naphthalene sublimation technique. The squealer rim height-to-chord ratio and tip gap height-to-chord ratio are fixed as typical values of $h_{st}/c$ = 5.5% and h/c = 2.0%, respectively, for turbulence intensities of Tu = 0.3% and 15%. The results show that the near-wall flow phenomena within the cavity of the squealer tip are totally different from those over the plane tip. There are complicated backward flows from the suction side to the pressure side near the cavity floor, in contrast to the plane tip gap flows moving toward the suction side after flow separation/reattachment. The squealer tip provides a significant reduction in tip surface thermal load with less severe gradient compared to the plane tip. In this study, the tip surface is divided into six different regions, and transport phenomena at each region are discussed in detail. The mean thermal load averaged over the squealer cavity floor is augmented by 7.5 percents under the high inlet turbulence level.

Using a wind tunnel testing, the aerodynamic load characteristics of an elliptic airfoil was described. The experimental data was obtained for angles of attack $-20^{\circ}$ to $+20^{\circ}$ with $2^{\circ}$ increments at a chord Reynolds number of $0.99{\times}105$ and $2.48{\times}105$. For each test case, chordwise suction pressure distributions and wake surveys were obtained. Static pressure measurements were made over a 10 sec averaging time at a 10 Hz sampling rate. For each case, wake survey was conducted with a pilot-static probe at 1.0c downstream from the trailing edge at very fine spacing to resolve the wake velocity deficit profile. As can be expected, suction pressure coefficient was increased with angle of attack. The normal force, CNmax, appeared peak value at the incidence angle of $12^{\circ}~14^{\circ}$, and the significant increase in profile drag at this range of angles of attack.

The present study investigated local heat/mass transfer characteristics on the surface of the rotating turbine blade with various incidence angles. The experiments are conducted in a low speed annular cascade with a single stage turbine. The blade has a flat tip with the mean tip clearance of 2.5% of the blade chord. A naphthalene sublimation method is used to measure detailed mass transfer coefficient on the blade. At design condition, the inlet Reynolds number is $Re_c=1.5{\times}10^5$ which results in the blade rotation speed of 255.8 rpm. Also, the effect of off-design condition is examined with various incidence angles between $-15^{\circ}$ and $+7{\circ}$. The results indicated that the incidence angle has significant effects on the blade surface heat transfer. In mid-span region, the laminar separation region on the pressure side is reduced and the laminar flow region on the suction side shrinks with increasing incidence angle. Near the tip, the effect of tip leakage flow increases in span wise and axial directions as the incidence angle decreases because the tip leakage flow is formed near the suction side surface. However, the effect of tip leakage flow is reduced with positive incidence angle.

An experimental study is performed to analyze flow structures behind a local suction/blowing in a flat-plate turbulent boundary layer, The local forcing is given to the boundary layer flow by means of a sinusoidally oscillating jet issuing from a thin spanwise slot at the wall. The Reynolds number based on the momentum thickness is about $Re_{\theta}=1700$. The effects of local forcing are scrutinized by altering the forcing frequency $(0.011{\leq}f^+{\leq}0.044)$. The forcing amplitude is fixed at $A_0=0.4$. It is found that a small local forcing reduces the skin friction, and this reduction increases with the forcing frequency. A phase-averaging technique is employed to capture the coherent structures. Velocity signals are decomposed into a periodic part and a fluctuating part. An organized spanwise vortical structure is generated by the local forcing. The larger reduction of skin friction for the higher forcing frequencies is attributed to the diminished adverse effect of the secondary vortex. An investigation of the random fluctuation components reveals that turbulent energy is concentrated near the center of vortical structures.

The heat/mass transfer characteristics on the plane tip surface of a high-turning first-stage turbine rotor blade has been investigated by employing the naphthalene sublimation technique. At the Reynolds number of $2.09{\times}10^5$, heat/mass transfer coefficients are measured for the tip gap height-to-chord ratio, h/c, of 2.0% at turbulence levels of Tu = 0.3 and 14.7%. A tip-surface flow visualization is also performed for h/c = 2.0% at Tu = 0.3%. The results show that there exists a strong flow separation/re-attachment process, which results in severe local thermal load along the pressure-side corner, and a pair of vortices named "tip gap vortices" in this study is identified along the pressure and suction-side tip corners near the leading edge. The loci and subsequent development of the pressure- and suction-side tip gap vortices are discussed in detail. The combustor-level high inlet turbulence, which increases the tip-surface heat/mass transfer, provides more uniform thermal-load distribution.

The present study investigates convective heat/mass transfer and flow characteristics in wavy ducts of primary surface heat exchanger. Experiments using a naphthalene technique are carried out to determine the local transfer characteristics for flow in the corrugated wall duct. The aspect ratios of the rectangular duct cross-section are 7.3, 4.7 and 1.8 with a corrugation angle of $145^{\circ}$. The Reynolds numbers, based on the duct hydraulic diameter, are ranged from 1000 to 5000. The local heat/mass transfer measurement is conducted in the spanwise directions. The results show that Tayler-Gortler vortices exist on the pressure surface. Flow separation on the suction surface appears at a high Reynolds number resulting in a sharp decrease in the local transfer rates, but relatively high transfer rates are obtained in the reattachment region.

옆미끄럼이 있는 조건에서 LEX를 갖는 $65^{\circ}$ 후퇴각 삼각날개의 와류와 공력 특성을 실험적으로 연구하였다. 자유 유동속도는 40m/sec이고 이 속도와 날개뿌리 시위를 기준으로 한 단위길이당 레이놀즈 수는 $1.76{\times}10^6$이다. 받음각 범위는 $12^{\circ}$ 부터 $28^{\circ}$ 까지 이고, 시험된 옆미끄럼각은 $0^{\circ}$ , $-10^{\circ}$ , $-20^{\circ}$ 이다. 날개의 바람쪽에 있는 LEX 와류는 바람 반대쪽 LEX 와류보다 훨씬 더 강하고 날개면에 더 가깝게 날개 후류영역으로 진입한다. LEX 와류와 날개 와류는 서로 연동하여 집중되고 강한 와류를 형성하거나 날개 하류지역에서 붕괴된다. LEX 와류와 날개 와류의 상호작용으로 인하여 바람쪽 날개면에는 높은 흡입압력이 유지되고, 바람 반대쪽 날개면에는 낮은 흡입압력이 형성된다.

연구에서는 NACA4412익형으로 이루어진 주날개에 NACA0012플랩이 장착된 아음속 벽면효과 모형(SWIM)의 날개 표면 3차원 압력 분포를 압력감응페인트를 이용하여 시험적으로 연구하였다. 한국항공우주연구원의 아음속 풍동에서 레이놀즈수 3.1x105의 조건에서 시험 모형의 받음각 변화에 따른 날개 윗면 및 아랫면의 압력 분포를 측정하였다. 그 결과 받음각이 증가함에 따라 날개 윗면에서의 최저 압력 지점이 뿌리에서 끝단으로 이동을 하는 것을 관찰하였고, 날개 끝단의 뒷전에서도 끝단 와류를 일으키는 압력이 매우 낮은 지점도 관찰되었다. 그러나 실속각 이후인 받음각 15도의 경우 끝단 뒷전에서는 압력이 낮은 지점이 계속 관찰되었으나 그 이외의 부분은 스팬 방향 압력 분포가 편평하였다. 압력감응페인트와 더불어 압력공을 사용하여 날개의 코드 방향 2차원 압력분포도 측정 하여 비교하였고 두 시험에서 측정된 각 압력계수들의 차이의 평균은 약 0.077임을 확인하였다.

To examine the influence of unsteady wake on the flow and heat transfer characteristics, an experiment has been conducted in a four-vane linear cascade. Flow and heat transfer measurements are made for the inlet Reynolds number of 66000(based on chord length and free-stream velocity). Turbulent intensity and stress were measured using hot wire anemometer, and to measure the convective heat transfer coefficients on the blade surfaces liquid crystal/gold film Intrex technique was used. The disturbance by the unsteady wake is characterized by the unresolved unsteadiness. The unsteady wake enhances the turbulent motion of flow in the cascade passage. It also promotes the boundary layer development and transition. The results show that heat transfer coefficients on the suction surface increase with increasing unresolved unsteadiness.

Numerical calculations are performed to simulate the film cooling effect of turbine blade tip with squealer rim. Because of high temperature of inside rim, squealer rim is damaged easily. Therefore many various cooling systems were used. The calculations are based on 100,000 Reynolds number in linear cascade model. A blade has 2% tip clearance and 8.4% rim height. The axial chord length and turning angle is 237mm, 126$^{\circ}$. Numerical calculations are performed without and with film cooling. In a film cooling in the cavity, hot spots of cavity were cooled effectively. However hot spots of suction side rim still remains. The CFD results show that the circulation flow in cavity of squealer tip affects the temperature rise of squealer rim. To maintain the blade integrity and avoid the excessive hot spot of blade, rearrangement of cooling hole is needed.
