Abstract: A largescale model of an inclined row of film cooling holes is used to obtain detailed surface and flow field measurements that will enable future computational fluid dynamics code development and validation. The model ...

Abstract: Surface infrared thermography, hotwire anemometry, and thermocouple surveys were performed on two new film cooling hole geometries: spiral/rifled holes and fluidic sweeping holes. The spiral holes attempt to induce largescale ...

Abstract: Abstract. A careful introduction of coolant airflows, which create the film protecting the turbine blade, is critical for a more fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly jet engine. Accurate prediction of streams mixing ...
