Abstract: The necessity of performing an unsteady simulation for the purpose of predicting the heat transfer on the endwall surfaces of a turbine passage is addressed. This is measured by the difference ...

Abstract: A three-dimensional Navier–Stokes simulation has been performed for a realistic film-cooled turbine vane using the LeRC-HT code. The simulation includes the flow regions inside the coolant plena ...

Abstract: 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 ...

Abstract: The effect of the upstream wake on the time averaged rotor blade heat transfer was numerically investigated. The geometry and flow conditions of the first stage turbine blade of GE’s E3 engine ...
