Abstract

In the serpentine passage of actual rotor blades, the coolant at the inlet of the film hole has an internal crossflow. The internal crossflow significantly influences the film cooling effectiveness of multi-row film holes. This paper presents a numerical investigation of the superposition characteristics of multiple rows of laidback fan-shaped holes under the influence of internal crossflow. The numerical simulations utilize the RANS method considering the effects of blowing ratio, crossflow velocity ratio, arrangement patterns, and row-to-row spacing of the internal crossflow on the superposition characteristics of film holes. The results indicate that film cooling effectiveness exhibits a distinctly asymmetric distribution under crossflow conditions. At different blowing ratios, there exists an optimal crossflow velocity ratio, at which the laterally averaged film cooling effectiveness is maximized. The crossflow-to-jet velocity ratio (VRi) is utilized to comprehensively evaluate the impact of blowing ratios and crossflow velocity ratios, and the range of high area-averaged film cooling effectiveness is accurately captured. Regarding the study of arrangement patterns and row-to-row spacings, it has been found that under identical coolant mass flowrates, the staggered arrangement is better than the inline arrangement in both laterally averaged film cooling effectiveness and cooling uniformity. Meanwhile, reducing the row-to-row spacing leads to an improvement in laterally averaged film cooling effectiveness. Finally, an assessment of the Sellers model's applicability under crossflow conditions revealed that it demonstrates good applicability in cases of staggered arrangement with lower blowing ratios.
