CFD predictions of heat transfer coefficient augmentation on a simulated film cooled turbine blade leading edgeBeirnaert-Chartrel, Gwennaël 11 July 2011 (has links)
Computations were run to study heat transfer coefficient augmentation with film cooling for a simulated gas turbine blade leading edge. The realizable k-[epsilon] turbulence model (RKE) and Shear Stress Transport k-[omega] turbulence model (SST) were used for the computational simulations. RKE computations completed at a unity density ratio were confirmed to be consistent with experimental measurements conducted by Yuki et al.(1998) and Johnston et al. (1999) whereas SST computations exhibited significant discrepancies. Moreover the effect of the density ratio on heat transfer coefficient augmentation was studied because experimental measurements of heat transfer coefficient augmentation with film cooling are generally constrained to unity density ratio tests. It was shown that heat transfer coefficient augmentation can be simulated using unity density ratio jets, but only when scaled with the momentum flux ratio of the coolant jets. / text

Parametric Study of Gas Turbine Film-CoolingLiu, Kevin 2012 August 1900 (has links)
In this study, the film-cooling effectiveness in different regions of gas turbine blades was investigated with various film hole/slot configurations and mainstream flow conditions. The study consisted of three parts: 1) turbine blade span film-cooling, 2) turbine platform film-cooling, and 3) blade tip film-cooling. Pressure sensitive paint (PSP) technique was used to get the conduction-free film-cooling effectiveness distribution. Film-cooling effectiveness is assessed in terms of cooling hole geometry, blowing ratio, freestream turbulence, and coolant-to-mainstream density ratio.
Blade span film-cooling test shows that the compound angle shaped holes offer better film effectiveness than the axial shaped holes. Greater coolant-to-mainstream density ratio prevents coolant to lift-off. Higher freestream turbulence causes effectiveness to drop everywhere except in the region downstream of suction side. Results are also correlated with momentum flux, compound shaped hole has the greatest optimum momentum flux ratio, and then followed by axial shaped hole, compound cylindrical hole, and axial cylindrical hole.
For platform purge flow cooling, the stator-rotor gap was simulated by a typical labyrinth-like seal. Two different film-cooling hole geometries, three blowing ratios and density ratios, and two freestream turbulence are examined. Results showed that the shaped holes present higher film-cooling effectiveness and wider film coverage than the cylindrical holes, particularly at higher blowing ratios. Moreover, the platform film-cooling effectiveness increases with density ratio but decreases with turbulence intensity.
The blade tip study was performed in a blow-down flow loop. Results show that a blowing ratio of 2.0 is found to give best results on the tip floor. Lift-off of the coolant jet can be observed for the holes closer to the leading edge as blowing ratio increases from 1.5 to 2.0.
A stator vane suction side heat transfer study was conducted in a partial annular cascade. The heat transfer coefficients were measured by using the transient liquid crystal technique. At X/L=0.15, a low heat transfer region where transition occurs. The heat transfer coefficients increase toward the trailing edge as flow accelerates; a spanwise variation can be found at neat tip and hub portions due to passage and horseshoe vortices.

Large eddy simulation of cooling practices for improved film cooling performance of a gas turbine bladeAl-Zurfi, Nabeel January 2017 (has links)
The Large Eddy Simulation approach is employed to predict the flow physics and heat transfer characteristics of a film-cooling problem that is formed from the interaction of a coolant jet with a hot mainstream flow. The film-cooling technique is used to protect turbine blades from thermal failure, allowing the gas inlet temperature to be increased beyond the failure temperature of the turbine blade material in order to enhance the efficiency of gas turbine engines. A coolant fluid is injected into the hot mainstream through several rows of injection holes placed on the surface of a gas turbine blade in order to form a protective coolant film layer on the blade surface. However, due to the complex, unsteady and three-dimensional interactions between the coolant and the hot gases, it is difficult to achieve the desired cooling performance. Understanding of this complex flow and heat transfer process will be helpful in designing more efficiently cooled rotor blades. A comprehensive numerical investigation of a rotating film-cooling performance under different conditions is conducted in this thesis, including film-cooling on a flat surface and film-cooling on a rotating gas turbine blade. The flow-governing equations are discretised based on the finite-volumes method and then solved iteratively using the well-known SIMPLE and PISO algorithms. An in-house FORTRAN code has been developed to investigate the flat plate film-cooling configuration, while the gas turbine blade geometry has been simulated using the STAR-CCM+ CFD commercial code. The first goal of the present thesis is to investigate the physics of the flow and heat transfer, which occurs during film-cooling from a standard film hole configuration. Film-cooling performance is analysed by looking at the distribution of flow and thermal fields downstream of the film holes. The predicted mean velocity profiles and spanwise-averaged film-cooling effectiveness are compared with experimental data in order to validate the reliability of the LES technique. Comparison of adiabatic film-cooling effectiveness with experiments shows excellent agreement for the local and spanwise-averaged film-cooling effectiveness, confirming the correct prediction of the film-cooling behaviour. The film coverage and film-cooling effectiveness distributions are presented along with discussions of the influence of blowing ratio and rotation number. Overall, it was found that both rotation number and blowing ratio play significant roles in determining the film-cooling effectiveness distributions. The second goal is to investigate the impact of innovative anti-vortex holes on the film-cooling performance. The anti-vortex hole design counteracts the detrimental kidney vorticity associated with the main hole, allowing coolant to remain attached to the blade surface. Thus, the new design significantly improves the film-cooling performance compared to the standard hole arrangement, particularly at high blowing ratios. The anti-vortex hole technique is unique in that it requires only readily machinable round holes, unlike shaped film-cooling holes and other advanced concepts. The effects of blowing ratio and the positions of the anti-vortex side holes on the physics of the hot mainstream-coolant interaction in a film-cooled turbine blade are also investigated. The results also indicate that the side holes of the anti-vortex design promote the interaction between the vortical structures; therefore, the film coverage contours reveal an improvement in the lateral spreading of the coolant jet.

Aerodynamics of Endwall Contouring with Discrete Holes and an Upstream Purge Slot Under Transonic Conditions with and without BlowingBlot, Dorian Matthew 23 January 2013 (has links)
Endwall contouring has been widely studied as an effective measure to improve aerodynamic performance by reducing secondary flow strength. The effects of endwall contouring with discrete holes and an upstream purge slot for a high turning (127") airfoil passage under transonic conditions are investigated. The total pressure loss and secondary flow field were measured for two endwall geometries. The non-axisymmetric endwall was developed through an optimization study [1] to minimize secondary losses and is compared to a baseline planar endwall. The blade inlet span increased by 13 degrees with respect to the inlet in order to match engine representative inlet/exit Mach number loading in a HP turbine. The experiments were performed in a quasi-2D linear cascade with measurements at design exit Mach number 0.88 and incidence angle. Four cases were analyzed for each endwall -- the effect of slot presence (with/without coolant) and the effect of discrete holes (with/without coolant) without slot injection. The coolant to mainstream mass flow ratio was set at 1.0% and 0.25% for upstream purge slot and discrete holes, respectively. Aerodynamic loss coefficient is calculated with the measured exit total pressure at 0.1 Cax downstream of the blade trailing edge. CFD studies were conducted in compliment. The aero-optimized endwall yielded lower losses than baseline without the presence of the slot. However, in presence of the slot, losses increased due to formation of additional vortices. For both endwall geometries, results reveal that the slot has increased losses, while the addition of coolant further influences secondary flow development. / Master of Science

Investigation of Novel Turbulence Modeling Techniques for Gas Turbines and Aerospace ApplicationsDhakal, Tej Prasad 11 May 2013 (has links)
Standard eddy-viscosity models lack curvature and system rotation sensitized terms in their formulation. Hence they fail to capture the effects of curvature and system rotation on turbulence anisotropy. As part of this effort, an algebraic expression for a characteristic rotation term is developed and tuned with the help of rotating homogeneous shear flow. This formulation is primarily based upon the rotation and curvature sensitized eddy-viscosity coefficient developed by York et al. (2009). A new scalar transport equation loosely based on Durbin’s wall normal turbulent velocity scale (Durbin, 1991) is introduced to account for the modification in turbulence structure due to system rotation and curvature effects. The added transport equation also introduces history effects and stability in the solution with small increase in computational cost. The eddy-viscosity is redefined based on new turbulent velocity scale and hence the effects of rotation and streamline curvature are introduced into the mean momentum equation. A number of canonical test cases with significant curvature and rotation effects along with a cyclone flow, a representative of complex industrial flows, are considered for model validation. Hybrid modeling framework combines the strength of RANS in boundary layers and LES in separated shear layers to alleviate the weaknesses of RANS and limitations of LES model in some complex flows. A recently proposed hybrid RANS-LES modeling framework uses a weighing parameter that dynamically determines the RANS and LES regions based on solution statistics. The hybrid modeling methodology is implemented on a normal jet in crossflow, and a film cooling case for the purpose of model validation and evaluation. The final goal of the proposed effort is to combine advanced RANS modeling capability with LES using the new hybrid modeling framework. Specifically, the curvature and rotation sensitive RANS model developed here is coupled with commonly used LES models to produce a novel model for complex turbulent flows with the potential to improve accuracy of CFD predictions (versus existing RANS models) as well as significantly reduce the computational expense (versus existing LES models). Performance of the model form hence developed is evaluated on a cyclone flow case.

Deposition of Particulate from Coal-Derived Syngas on Gas Turbine Blades Near Film Cooling HolesAi, Weiguo 11 August 2009 (has links) (PDF)
Synfuel from gasification of coal, biomass, and/or petroleum coke is an alternative to natural gas in land-based industrial gas turbines. However, carryover fine particulate in the syngas may lead to a considerable amount of deposition on turbine blades, which reduces component life and system performance. Deposition experiments on film-cooled turbine components were performed in an accelerated test facility to examine the nature of flyash deposits near film cooling holes. Experimental results indicate that deposition capture efficiency decreased with increased blowing ratio. Shaped holes exhibited more span-wise coverage than cylindrical holes and effectively reduced deposition. The TBC layer increased surface temperature, resulting in increased deposition. Coupons with close hole spacing exhibited a more uniform low temperature region downstream and less deposition. Capture efficiencies for small particles were lower than for large particles, especially at low blowing ratios. The trench increased cooling effectiveness downstream, but did not reduce overall collection efficiency of particulates because the trench also acted as a particulate collector. In the numerical computations using a CFD code (FLUENT), the standard k-ω turbulence model and RANS were employed to compute flow field and heat transfer. A Lagrangian particle method was utilized to predict the ash particulate transport. User-defined subroutines were developed to describe and predict particle deposition rates on the turbine blade surface. Small particles had a greater tendency to stick to the surface. As the surface temperature rose above the transition temperature, large particles dominated the excessive deposition due to the high delivery rate. Backside impingement of coolant improved the overall cooling effectiveness. Experiments and CFD modeling results suggest that clean coolant dominated the initial deposition process by blowing off the particles and preventing particles from impacting on the surface. Initial deposits formed between coolant channels. Subsequent deposition occurred on top of initial deposits, due to increasing deposit surface temperature, which led to the formation of distinct ridges between coolant paths.
