Abstract

This study is aimed to increase the effectiveness of film cooling in rotating blades by performing forward diffused shaped hole. For both cylindrical and forward diffused holes three different rotational speed of zero, 300 and 500 rpm have been investigated. Three-dimensional numerical simulation of turbulent flow and heat transfer in rotating reference frame are performed using modified low Reynolds k-ε model. Comparison show that low Reynolds models have acceptable ability to predict the effectiveness of film cooling of the rotating blade. The results show that by increasing the rotational speed the Coriolis acceleration consequences the deviation of the cooling air from the central line. In rotating blade, the effectiveness of the central line, especially downstream of the injection holes is reduced. Also injection of cooling air through the forward diffused hole lead to reduce the mixing of cooling air with main stream flow. Comparison of the results shows that the effectiveness of the forward diffused hole is considerably higher than the cylindrical hole.
