The impingement/effusion holes are arranged on two parallel perforated plates respectively in a staggered manner. Every effusion hole has an inclined angle of 30° with respect to the surface. The two parallel plates are spaced three times the diameter of the effusion hole. The ratio of center-to-center spacing of adjacent holes to the diameter of the effusion hole is set to be 3.0, 4.0 and 5.0 respectively. The flow field, temperature field and wall film cooling effectiveness are calculated for different blowing ratios ranging from 0.5 to 1.5. In general, the wall cooling effectiveness increases as the center-to-center spacing of adjacent holes decreases or the blowing ratio increases.展开更多

Detailed computations of a single row of 30 degrees round holes on a flat plate are presented for blowing ratios of 0.764, 1.01 and 1.54. The simulation results are compared well with experimental data. The two-layer model gave more accurate results but consumed much more computational time than the standard wall functions. The k-ε turbulence model with wall functions with appropriate values of y^＋ is suitable for practical use. The results show the importance of the conjugate calculation for accurately describing the influence of the heat transfer within the cooling film.展开更多
