Impingement cooling effectiveness of gas turbine vanes and blades can be further increased due to the manufacturing feasibility of integrally cast airfoils which can provide narrow impingement cooling cavities. This study examines experimentally using the ...
Swirl jets in crosflow are investigated experimentally and numerically. The main difference with non-swirl cases is an asymmetry of the dominant kidney vortex and a slight distortion of the jet trace downstream of the injection hole. Jet rotation, at relat ...
This study examines experimentally the cooling performance of narrow impingement channels as could be cast-in in modern turbine airfoils. Full surface heat transfer coefficients are evaluated for the target plate and the sidewalls of the channels using the ...
The development of integrally cast turbine airfoils allows the production of narrow impingement channels in a double-wall configuration, where the coolant is practically injected within the wall of the airfoil providing increased heat transfer capabilities ...
The present study describes an experimental investigation into narrow impingement cooling channels with divergent geometries. The following analysis aims to clarify the influence that this particular form factor exerts on the heat transfer distribution, as ...
In modern turbine airfoils, narrow impingement cooling channels can be formed in a double-wall configuration. In these wall-integrated cooling cavities, the generated crossflow is one of the most important design factors, and hence, the number of impingeme ...
