Book A Flow Field Study of a Film Cooling Hole Featuring an Orifice

Download or read book A Flow Field Study of a Film Cooling Hole Featuring an Orifice written by Yingjie Zheng and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film cooling is a jet-in-crossflow application in gas turbines used to protect high temperature parts. Understanding the physical phenomena in the flow field, for example the detrimental counter-rotating vortex pair, is highly critical. Experimental investigations were conducted using stereoscopic PIV to study the flow field downstream from film cooling holes featuring an orifice, under blowing ratios from 0.5 to 2.0. The original geometry of a short injection hole that was proposed in a previous numerical study was examined. The results reported a significant reduction in counter-rotating vortex pair strength of nozzle hole injection in comparison with cylindrical hole injection. The streamwise vorticity of the nozzle hole jet averaged a drop of 55% at a low blowing ratio of 0.5, and a 30%–40% drop at high blowing ratios of 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0. Due to the reduction in counter-rotating vortex pair strength, a round jet bulk was observed forming from the two legs of a typical kidney-shaped jet. The merged jet bulk delivered better coverage over the surface. The effect of the geometrical parameters of the orifice and the effect of the blowing ratio were also investigated using long injection hole geometry to isolate the impact of the short hole length. It was found that under high blowing ratio conditions, no structural difference occurred in the jet when altering the value of blowing ratio. The most important geometrical parameters were the opening width and the in-hole position of the orifice. The measurement results suggested that the width of the orifice had a major impact on downstream counter-rotating vortex pair strength, and the in-hole position of the orifice mainly affected the penetration characteristics of the jet. The mechanism of the counter-rotating vortex suppressing effect of the orifice was studied from the flow field data. It is proven that the orifice greatly eliminated the hanging vortices developing from the in-hole boundary layer vorticity, which was the major contributor to counter-rotating vortex formation in inclined jets.

Book 3D Velocity and Scalar Field Measurements of Discrete Hole Film Cooling Flows

This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three-dimensional mean velocity field measurements from magnetic resonance velocimetry (MRV) are used to study the flow fields in the interaction region between the film cooling jet and the mainflow, as well as inside the film cooling hole, for different film cooling hole inclination angles and velocity ratios. The vorticity field created by the interaction of the in-hole vorticity and surface boundary layer vorticity is discovered to resemble a streamwise series of horseshoe vortices inclined in the forward direction. A streamwise-normal view of this field reveals the traditionally identified counter-rotating vortex pair (CVP) which is detrimental to film cooling. The in-hole flow feature of a counter-rotating vortex pair, which affects the main flow field, is also identified for inclined film cooling holes. Tracking of the coolant exiting the film cooling hole is achieved through 3D measurement of the coolant concentration in the mainflow using magnetic resonance concentration (MRC). Through the scalar analogy, concentration measurements are related to temperatures and the adiabatic surface effectiveness of the tested film cooling cases is measured. Shallower inclination angles and low velocity ratio jets are seen to produce coolant jets which remain closer to the surface and provide good film cooling. However, low velocity ratios correspond to low coolant flux which limits cooling performance due to high turbulent mixing. It is desirable to produce a film cooling hole which creates similarly advantageous flow fields at higher velocity ratios which increase coolant flux and endure more mixing before falling below effective cooling levels. This is attempted through shaped holes. MRV studies of three traditionally shaped film cooling holes, which diffuse laterally and/or in the forward direction over a final length of the hole, are done to evaluate the flowfield developed by different diffusion angles and diffusive section lengths. Increased exit area is seen to reduce the momentum of the exiting jet and produce coolant flows which remain closer to the surface. However, in-hole measurements of the two more conservative diffuser-shaped holes show uneven flow through the diffusing section of the hole and room for improvement. The most extreme diffuser-shaped hole shows marked decrease in the strength of the mainfield CVP. In addition to conventional film cooling holes, MRV is done on novel hole shapes to ascertain whether they will perform well as film cooling holes. A round hole which lofts into an exit section modeled on two intersecting yawed holes is studied, which creates a pair of CVPs which lead to central vortices spinning counter to a conventional CVP. Two non-circular cross-section holes, a spanwise-stretched oval and a rounded triangle pointing streamwise, are tested in hopes of decreasing streamwise vorticity in the mainflow. The rounded triangle shapes leads to a very lifted coolant jet and increased vorticity, but the oval shape creates a coolant jet with a more complex vorticity field which remains attached and creates a beneficial velocity profile along the surface. MRC was done on the oval shaped hole, because of the promising flow features observed in the MRV results. Comparison of the surface effectiveness to all round hole cases and a single diffuser-shaped hole case show marked improvement in film cooling using an oval shaped hole over traditional round and diffuser-shaped holes.

Book Investigation of Inlet and Diffuser Geometry Modifications on Film Cooling Performance of Additively Manufactured Shaped Holes in Crossflow

This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film cooling holes permit gas turbine firing temperatures to significantly exceed the melting point of the constituent materials by venting compressor bleed air along the surface of a component forming a buffer between the wall and surrounding gas. A film cooling hole is a passive geometric feature with performance entirely derived from the holes geometry and the operating conditions of the coolant and mainstream. Significant effort has been made to characterize a wide variety of hole geometries but no method has been put forth to determine the optimal hole geometry for a given local flow field and component. Even for traditional, subtractive machined holes this would be a daunting task, but the difficulty grows exponentially as additive manufacturing (AM) permits greater design freedom to the thermal engineer. Presented here is a validated method for determining the optimal film cooling hole geometry of both traditionally or additively manufactured components using computationally inexpensive RANS CFD. Additionally, beyond just validating existing designs, this method can generate novel designs which leverage additive manufacturings unique design space to significantly enhance performance beyond what is possible with traditionally machined holes. While this method has many limitations inherited from RANS, which we will explore in depth, it has proven robust and effective at calculating performance in any coolant/mainstream flowfield. This work stands unique in film cooling literature but will hopefully be superseded by improved methods still to come. Realizable K-epsilon RANS is validated and found to be robust in predicting the flow field of film cooling holes. This information is used to investigate the flow inside of holes where traditional experimental methods are severely restricted. Key separation regions at the inlet and diffuser are identified to be severely detrimental to film cooling performance. CFD was used to predict geometries that would improve hole performance leveraging the unique design freedoms of additive manufacturing. This resulted in large performance gains as predicted by the RANS. Furthermore, as the gross separation regions within the hole were improved, the RANS predictions of surface temperature were found to be increasingly reliably. CFD was employed to search for better performing traditional and AM diffuser designs, the best of which were verified experimentally to significantly improve performance as predicted. Finally, adjoint optimization was used to fully optimize the hole geometry yielding further improvements in performance which were again experimentally validated

Book A Detailed Investigation of the Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer Related to Injection from a Compound Angled Shaped Film Cooling Hole

Download or read book A Detailed Investigation of the Fluid Dynamics and Heat Transfer Related to Injection from a Compound Angled Shaped Film Cooling Hole written by Shane Haydt and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gas turbines are used around the world to provide thrust for airplanes and to generate electricity. Designers and operators are constantly chasing higher thermal efficiency, and even an incremental increase is considered an achievement. Higher thermal efficiency begets higher turbine inlet temperatures, and the parts that are exposed to these temperatures require sophisticated cooling technologies. One such cooling method is shaped film cooling, which ejects low momentum coolant with the goal of it staying attached to the wall, spreading laterally, and providing a lower driving temperature for convection.In some film cooling manufacturing processes, the meter and diffuser are created in separate steps with separate machines, and an offset can occur in that process. A study was designed to quantify the change in adiabatic effectiveness for five offset directions: fore, fore-left, left, aft-left, and aft. All offset directions caused a detriment to film cooling performance, except for the fore offset, which improved adiabatic effectiveness relative to a no offset case. CFD helped show that the fore offset created a separation in the region of the film cooling metering section where jetting occurs, which decreased the high momentum and made the cooling jet more likely to remain attached to the surface. This study resulted in a patent.A large range of area ratios and blowing ratios were examined in a study designed to isolate the effect of area ratio by lengthening the diffuser of a shaped hole. Very high area ratios were generated that resulted in significant cooling potential. It was shown that at each area ratio there is an optimal blowing ratio beyond which the effectiveness will decrease or plateau. This was reduced to an optimal effective blowing ratio, M/AR, which was shown through CFD to be the condition when the coolant jet core has similar velocity magnitude to the mainstream flow. This results in a weak shear layer and a weak counter-rotating vortex pair.In an axially oriented hole, the mainstream flows over the top of a cooling jet and around the sides, in equal measure, creating a symmetric flowfield. In a compound angled shaped hole, the mainstream flows primarily around the leeward side, creating a strong shear layer and an asymmetric streamwise vortex. Compound angled shaped holes are used commonly in gas turbines, but there has been no work examining the adiabatic effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient augmentation at a range of compound angles, and there are no flowfield measurements. A comprehensive study of the flowfield, cooling effectiveness, and heat transfer coefficient were obtained for compound angled shaped holes for compound angles ranging from 0-60 in 15 increments. It is shown that asymmetry and vorticity magnitude increase with increasing compound angle and increasing blowing ratio. Holes with high compound angles can maintain jet attachment at high blowing ratios because the streamwise component of blowing ratio is reduced, which leads to high effectiveness. The most important contribution of this work was showing that the streamwise vortex increases heat transfer coefficient in a region adjacent to the jet, where very little coolant coverage exists. For this reason, compound angled shaped holes can cause local regions of increased heat flux relative to an uncooled surface, which may be an issue for some designs if not properly accounted for. Heat transfer coefficient augmentation increases as compound angle and blowing ratio increase. Designs that promote jet interaction, such as holes with a smaller pitchwise spacing or holes with significant lateral motion, cover the entire endwall in coolant and lessen the negative effects of high heat transfer coefficient augmentation.
