Computation of Discrete Hole Film Cooling Flow Using the Navier-Stokes Equations,

Abstract

An investigation is being performed to develop an analysis and computational procedure for predicting the flow field which results from discrete hole film cooling. This study represents the first step in the development of a computer code capable of predicting aerodynamic loss levels and heat transfer levels associated with discrete hole film cooling on gas turbine blades. The specific problem being considered here is that of predicting the flow and temperature fields resulting from injecting a row of hot or cold jets into a cross flow through a flat plate. The approach is based on numerical solution of the three-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations, and utilizes a zone embedding procedure to limit the computational domain to the immediate vicinity of the coolant injection. The zone embedding is accomplished through the use of interactive boundary conditions at inflow and outflow boundaries, which are compatible with flow behavior outside the computational region.
