- Abstract
Turbine blades and rocket nozzles can be efficiently protected from combustion chamber exhaust hot gases by film cooling technic. A crescent-shaped block placed downstream of the injection hole can significantly improve cooling effectiveness. The main objective of this research work is to investigate the influence of the crescent-shaped block length and width on film cooling effectiveness. ANSYS CFX was used to conduct analysis of a flat plate configuration with cylindrical holes. Nine configurations of the crescent shaped blocks were considered. For each case, the effect of blowing ratios (0.5 and 1) was investigated. The turbulence model shear stress transport (SST) is used for approximating turbulence. Good agreement was obtained by comparing the analysis results with the experimental data. The result indicated that block width variation has a considerable impact on film cooling performance. However, slight effect of block length on cooling effectiveness was obtained. Comparing all analyzed configurations, the best cooling effectiveness was reached for the model 9 (W = 3d, B = 1.5d).
