Abstract: An analytical model for the prediction of cooling air flow characteristics (mass flow rate and internal pressure distribution) in gas turbine components is discussed. The model addresses a number ...

Abstract: An experimental flow study on cooling holes in cylindrical models simulating the leading edge of a typical turbine airfoil is presented. The effect of external flow around the cylinder on the ...

Abstract: A method for predicting cooling air flow rates using tests on cylindrical models of typical turbine blade leading edges has been extended to include blades with inserts and blades with ...

Abstract: A two-dimensional, boundary-layer program, STAN5, was modified to incorporate a low-Reynolds number version of the K-ε, two-equation turbulence model for the predictions of flow and heat transfer ...
