This book was released on 2000 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of high performance gas turbines requires high turbine inlet temperatures that can lead to severe thermal stresses in the turbine blades, particularly in the first stages of the turbine. Therefore, the major objective of gas- turbine designers is to determine the thermal and aero-dynamical characteristics of the turbulent flow in the turbine cascade. This work is a numerical simulation of fluid flow and heat transfer in the turbine blade using different two-equation turbulence models. The turbulence models used here were based on the eddy viscosity concept, which determined the turbulent viscosity through time-averaged Navier-Stokes differential equations. The most widely accepted turbulence models are the two-equation models, which involves the solution of two transport equations for the turbulent kinetic energy, k, and its rate of dissipation, & or In the present simulation, four two-equation turbulence models were used, the standard k-& model, the modified Chen-Kim k-& model, RNG model and Wilcox standard k - OJ turbulence model. A comparison between the turbulence models and their predictions of the heat flux on the blade were carried out. The results were also compared with the available experimental results obtained from a research carried out by Arts et at. (1990) at the von Karman Institute of Fluid Dynamics (VKI). The simulation was performed using the general-purpose computational fluid dynamics code, PHOENICS, which solved the governing fluid flow and heat transfer equations. An H-type, body-fitted-co-ordinate (BFC) grid was used and upstream and downstream periodic conditions were specified. The grid system used was, sufficiently fine and the results were grid independent. All models demonstrated good heat transfer predictions for the pressure side except close to the leading edge. On the suction side, standard model over-predicted the heat transfer, whereas Chen-Kim, RNG and k - OJ models captured the overall behaviour quite well. Unlike k - OJ model, all k - & models generated very high turbulence levels in the stagnation point regions, which gave rise to the heat transfer rates close to the leading edge.

This book was released on 2011-06-20 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reflects the outcome of the 1st International Workshop on Turbulent Spray Combustion held in 2009 in Corsica (France). The focus is on reporting the progress of experimental and numerical techniques in two-phase flows, with emphasis on spray combustion. The motivation for studies in this area is that knowledge of the dominant phenomena and their interactions in such flow systems is essential for the development of predictive models and their use in combustor and gas turbine design. This necessitates the development of accurate experimental methods and numerical modelling techniques. The workshop aimed at providing an opportunity for experts and young researchers to present the state-of-the-art, discuss new developments or techniques and exchange ideas in the areas of experimentations, modelling and simulation of reactive multiphase flows. The first two papers reflect the contents of the invited lectures, given by experts in the field of turbulent spray combustion. The first concerns computational issues, while the second deals with experiments. These lectures initiated very interesting and interactive discussions among the researchers, further pursued in contributed poster presentations. Contributions 3 and 4 focus on some aspects of the impact of the interaction between fuel evaporation and combustion on spray combustion in the context of gas turbines, while the final article deals with the interaction between evaporation and turbulence.

This book was released on 2018-06-15 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A combined experimental and computational study has been performed to investigate the detailed distribution of convective heat transfer coefficients on the first stage blade tip surface for a geometry typical of large power generation turbines (>1OOMW). This paper is concerned with the numerical prediction of the tip surface heat transfer. Good comparison with the experimental measured distribution was achieved through accurate modeling of the most important features of the blade passage and heating arrangement as well as the details of experimental rig likely to affect the tip heat transfer. A sharp edge and a radiused edge tip were considered. The results using the radiused edge tip agreed better with the experimental data. This improved agreement was attributed to the absence of edge separation on the tip of the radiused edge blade. Ameri, A. A. and Bunker, R. S.

This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A computational study of three-dimensional turbulent flow and heat transfer was performed in four types of rotating channels. The first type is a rotating rectangular channel with V-shaped ribs. The channel aspect ratio (AR) is 4:1, the rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratio (e/Dh) is 0.078 and the rib pitch-to-height ratio (P/e) is 10. The rotation number and inlet coolant-to-wall density ratio were varied from 0.0 to 0.28 and from 0.122 to 0.40, respectively, while the Reynolds number was varied from 10,000 to 500,000. Three channel orientations (90degrees, -135 degrees, and 135 degrees from the rotation direction) were also investigated. The second type is a rotating rectangular channel with staggered arrays of pinfins. The channel aspect ratio (AR) is 4:1, the pin length-to-diameter ratio is 2.0, and the pin spacing-to-diameter ratio is 2.0 in both the stream-wise and span-wise directions. The rotation number and inlet coolant-to-wall density ratio varied from 0.0 to 0.28 and from 0.122 to 0.20, respectively, while the Reynolds number varied from 10,000 to 100,000. For the rotating cases, the rectangular channel was oriented at 150 degrees with respect to the plane of rotation. In the rotating two-pass rectangular channel with 45-degree rib turbulators, three channels with different aspect ratios (AR=1:1; AR=1:2; AR=1:4) were investigated. Detailed predictions of mean velocity, mean temperature, and Nusselt number for two Reynolds numbers (Re=10,000 and Re=100,000) were carried out. The rib height is fixed as constant and the rib-pitch-to-height ratio (P/e) is 10, but the rib height-to-hydraulic diameter ratios (e/Dh) are 0.125, 0.094, and 0.078, for AR=1:1, AR=1:2, and AR=1:4 channels, respectively. The channel orientations are set as 90 degrees, the rotation number and inlet coolant-to-wall density ratio varied from 0.0 to 0.28 and from 0.13 to 0.40, respectively. The last type is the rotating two-pass smooth channel with three aspect ratios (AR=1:1; AR=1:2; AR=1:4). Detailed predictions of mean velocity, mean temperature and Nusselt number for two Reynolds numbers (Re=10,000 and Re=100,000) were carried out. The rotation number and inlet coolant-to-wall density ratio varied from 0.0 to 0.28 and from 0.13 to 0.40, respectively. A multi-block Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method was employed in conjunction with a near-wall second-moment turbulence closure.
