Abstract: From literature and our own studies, it is known that the effects of hot gas cross-flow and, in particular, the turbulence of the hot gas flow highly influence the spreading of the coolant ...

Abstract: The flow conditions at both the cooling hole exit as well as the cooling hole entrance affect the cooling performance downstream of cylindrical and fan-shaped holes in a very different way. ...

Abstract: A comprehensive set of generic experiments has been conducted to investigate the effect of elevated free-stream turbulence on film cooling performance of shaped holes. A row of three cylindrical ...
