This paper investigates film cooling in a turbine cascade endwall for two discrete-hole configurations using liquid crystal thermography. The discrete holes, arranged in rows aligned in the pitchwise direction, gave rise to relative maxima of film-cooling effectiveness downstream of each row, followed by a marked decrease of effectiveness along the gap between adjacent rows of holes. This resulted in a not efficient coverage of the endwall surface, with succession of over- and under-cooled regions. The re-design of discrete-hole configuration, based on knowledge of the heat transfer coefficient map on the endwall without film cooling, enabled the redistribution of the coolant to provide a better coverage of the endwall and a significant increase of the area-averaged film-cooling effectiveness.

Abstract
This paper investigates film cooling in a turbine cascade endwall for two discrete-hole configurations using liquid crystal thermography. The discrete holes, arranged in rows aligned in the pitchwise direction, gave rise to relative maxima of film-cooling effectiveness downstream of each row, followed by a marked decrease of effectiveness along the gap between adjacent rows of holes. This resulted in a not efficient coverage of the endwall surface, with succession of over- and under-cooled regions. The re-design of discrete-hole configuration, based on knowledge of the heat transfer coefficient map on the endwall without film cooling, enabled the redistribution of the coolant to provide a better coverage of the endwall and a significant increase of the area-averaged film-cooling effectiveness.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
