Abstract:In this paper, to demonstrate the deposition effects on cooling performance, the changing patterns of film cooling due to particle deposition are numerically investigated on a turbine vane that is cooled by an array of film-holes. The uniqueness of this work is addressing the cooling performance at an early deposition stage, in which deposits are relatively slight. The build-ups of the deposits are simulated by moving grid nodes on the wall boundaries. Results show that in addition to particle velocity, the bl… 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.
