Improvement of film cooling effectiveness with a small downstream block body

  • Published:
Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

The aim of this study is to predict the improvement in film cooling performance over a flat plate through a single row of cylindrical holes with different streamwise angles by using the Ansys CFX software package. In order to improve the film cooling effectiveness, a short crescent-shaped block is placed downstream of a cylindrical cooling hole. The numerical results of the cylindrical hole without the downstream short crescent-shaped block are compared with experimental data.
