Abstract:The optimization of turbine cooling design has become a new research field of gas turbine. The swirl chamber is a prospect cooling concept. In this paper, the numerical simulation of the swirl chamber is carried out by FLUENT. The influence of inlet size parameters, temperature ratio and inlet Reynolds number on the enhanced heat transfer of swirl chamber is studied. The results show that, in the range of the studied condition, Nusselt number decreases with the height, the width, the ratio of width to height a… 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.
