Influences of different cooling models on blade cooling were investigated
including swirl cooling
impingement cooling and composite cooling
in order to seek for more superior cooling models. The thermal performance of these cooling models was numerically compared under the conditions of same inlet chamber
same number and location of jet nozzles
same swirl chamber and aerodynamic parameters. Moreover
for the new type of composite cooling model
the effects of Reynolds number on the heat transfer performance
the cooling air allocation and the pressure drop were studied. Results indicate that this composite cooling has the highest thermal performance coefficient
i.e.
0.2% and 12.5% higher than that of swirling cooling and impingement cooling
respectively. Its heat transfer performance is slightly lower than swirl cooling and its pressure drop is the lowest among the three cooling models. As the Reynolds number increases
the Nusselt number will significantly rise. At the swirl chamber tip
the heat transfer performance is enhanced because the upstream impingement cooling air impacts the mainstream and decreases the velocity of mainstream. In addition
the upstream clockwise vortex develops along the downstream direction and enhances the heat transfer performance at the swirling chamber tip. The vortices produced by swirl cooling have dramatic effects on the downstream flow structure and have strong resistance against upstream flow. The interaction between swirl cooling and impingement cooling can produce a large-scale vortex pair and single vortex. The cooling air allocation remains stable under different Reynolds numbers. The proportion of cooling air flowing through the impingement jet nozzle is the lowest among all jet nozzles.
