Abstract:Heat transfer augmentation through the use of pin fins is commonly employed in gas turbine blades and vanes. This is particularly true in the trailing edge region, where the pin fins provide additional structural support, flow control, and heat transfer enhancement. In the industrial design process, commercial CAE packages are now routinely used for predicting the performance of such cooling configurations. The designer is often left with the timeconsuming task of validating their approach. The present study w… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
