Effects of Combustor Louver Coolant and Double-Row Hole Jets on Turbine Endwall Film Cooling Performance
Aiming at the problem of secondary flow development and cooling effect deviation from the design value caused by the actual mix condition between combustor and turbine coolant jets
comprehensively considering the combustor louver coolant and the turbine double-row hole jets
the coolant mix mechanism at combustor-turbine interface is numerically studied in this paper
and its influence on the cooling and flow characteristics of turbine vane endwall is analyzed too. The results show that the majority of the louver
coolant is entrained by the cavity vortex to develop downstream across the double-row hole jets
and the double-row hole jets are largely entrained by the horseshoe vortex to develop on the outer side of cavity vortex. At low double-row hole blowing ratios(M
h
=0.5 and 1.0)
the horseshoe vortices lead to a wedge-shaped high cooling effectiveness region
and the attachment and separation side of cavity vortices lead to high and low cooling effectiveness regions
respectively. With the increase of louver blowing ratio
the cavity vortex is weakened
and the cooling effectiveness at wedge-shaped region core increases. At high double-row hole blowing ratio(M
h
=1.5)
the hole jets can partly flow across the horseshoe vortex
and the vane endwall can be fully covered. With the increase of louver coolant blowing ratio from 0.5 to 1.5
the averaged cooling effectiveness of the vane endwall increases from 0.4 to 0.63. This study can provide a theoretical foundation for the design of turbine vane endwall cooling layout considering the actual flow mixing conditions at the combustor-turbine interface.
