Resumo

The higher temperature of the combustion chamber of a gas turbine yield higher efficiencies for the turbines but can affect the blade's life. As a preventative method, Film-cooling is a useful technique to enhance the performance of it by injecting coolant jets that the metal surfaces can be protected against the hot main flow. To improve cooling efficiency and increase the life of these components, several cooling strategies have been introduced. In the present study, the effects of the laidback fan-shaped hole geometry, in particular, are examined against the conventional cylindrical hole geometry using Computational Fluid Dynamic simulations. Computations are carried out based on three-dimensional Large Eddy Simulation. The open-source software OpenFOAM was utilized to solve the filtered governing equations for mass, momentum, energy conservation, and heat transfer. The mixing mechanism between hot and coolant fluids, nondimensional adiabatic film cooling effectiveness, and dynamics of vortices are presented and discussed.
