Abstract

In this study, four novel film cooling hole designs, all based on cylindrical holes, are numerically evaluated, and compared with those of a simple cylindrical hole and a laterally-diffused shaped hole. Film cooling effectiveness and surrounding thermal and flow fields are documented for operation with various blowing ratios. It is shown that the two-stage cylindrical hole can improve film cooling effectiveness at higher blowing ratios. The primary hole with two secondary holes can enhance film cooling performance by creating anti-kidney vortex pairs that will weaken jet liftoff caused by the kidney vortex pair that is created by the primary hole. The tri-circular shaped hole provides better film cooling effectiveness values only near the hole, but worse at downstream positions. The two-stage structure for the tri-circular shaped hole provides better film coverage because it changes the flow structure inside the delivery channel and decreases jet penetration into the passage flow.
