Abstract:Flow fields near the turbine vane endwall region are very complicated due to the presence of highly three-dimensional passage vortices and endwall secondary flows. This makes it challenging for the endwall to be effectively cooled by employing traditional endwall cooling methods, such as impingement cooling combined with local film cooling inside the vane passage. One effective endwall cooling scheme: coolant injection flow through discrete holes upstream of the vane leading edge on the endwall, has been consi… Show more
