The cooling performances for the cylindrical film-cooling hole with divided downstream crescent-shaped blocks were numerically investigated in present study. Four configurations with divided crescent-shaped block, i.e. linear, 30° convergence, 30° expansion, and 30° curved expansion, were studied at typical flow conditions. The successive crescent-shaped block case and the no block case were also solved in comparison. The temperature profiles, the local and lateral averaged cooling effectiveness at blowing ratios of 0.5 to 1.5 were obtained. As compared with the successive block case, the lateral coolant coverage were widened by using the divided block, and thus the lateral averaged cooling effectiveness were improved, especially at higher blowing ratios. Comparatively, the cylindrical hole with 30° expansion crescent-shaped block exhibited highest cooling performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
