A numerical prediction was performed to study the effect of squealer geometry on tip leakage flow and heat transfer for the first stage rotor blade in a high pressure turbine of GE-E

engines. Calculations were conducted for four different squealer geometry arrangements by solving Reynolds-averaged N-S equations in conjunction with the standard k-ω two-equation turbulence model. Flow structure and heat transfer characteristics in the tip gap were presented. The effect of blade rotation was analyzed and compared with that obtained from linear cascade. The results show that the minimum leakage flow occurs when the full squealer tip is adopted. In addition the tip heat transfer coefficient is the lowest when suction side squealer geometry is used.
