Abstract:Simulations using the Lattice-Boltzmann Method (LBM) are benchmarked to experimental cooling channel studies performed at the von Karman Institute for Fluid Dynamics. The experimental geometry is representative of a typical rib-turbulated cooling channel for a gas turbine rotor blade. The work aims at describing the flow physics involved, providing a better comprehension of the role of turbulence in augmenting heat transfer. Computations are found to be in agreement with the available experimental data highlig… Show more
