Abstract: Abstract. Compressible flow fields associated with engine realistic high-speed conditions can have a significant impact on the performance of shaped film cooling holes in gas turbines. Such flow fields are dependent upon ...

Abstract: With the advent of the use of additive manufacturing to build gas turbine components, the design space for new hole geometries is essentially unlimited. Recently, a computational adjoint-based optimization method was used ...

Abstract: To improve cooling effectiveness of gas turbine hardware, various film cooling hole shapes have previously been researched. Unique design modifications have recently been made possible through the design freedom allotted ...
