Effects of Oval-Hole and Inclination Angle on the Flow and Heat Transfer Performance of the Turbine Blade with Squealer Tip
To further improve the blade tip film cooling effectiveness and reduce the tip leakage flow
the flow and heat transfer characteristics of blade squealer tip with the application of oval-hole and radial inclination angle were numerically investigated using the three-dimensional RANS equation and standard k-ω turbulence model based on CFX software. Taking the first stage of GEE3 turbine rotor as the research object
the tangent direction of camber line is designed as the long axis direction of the oval-hole. The inclination angle includes the positive inclination which leans to the pressure side and the negative deflection which leans to the suction side. Numerical simulation results of eight structures were obtained at three blowing ratios. The results show that the average film cooling effectiveness of oval-hole is more than twice that of traditional circular hole at low blowing ratios
but it is limited by the contraction of oval-hole outflow region at high blowing ratios. The cooling effectiveness of the oval-hole with positive inclination angle is better than that of round hole without deflection angle at all blowing ratios. The positive inclination structure has better local cooling effect
but most of the cooling area is on the pressure surface side; however
the negative deflection structure effectively expands the film cooling range at medium and high blowing ratios
but its cooling effect is poor at low blowing ratios. The positive inclination structure leads the film cooling flow towards the leakage flow inlet
which can enhance the blocking effect and reduce the leakage flow
and the maximum relative reduction rate of leakage flow is 11.4%. The negative inclination structure leads to the generation of vortexes in squealer tips due to the large flow deflection
which drains a part of the main flow
and the leakage flow is increased by 16.6% under the large inclination angle structure.
