Effects of Expansion Angle Crater Film Hole on the Film Cooling Characteristics of a Double-Wall Structure
To further enhance the cooling efficiency of double-wall turbine blades,a novel expansion angle crater film hole was conceived.Three expansion angles(
α
=25°,35°,45°)were designed,and the influences of
α
on the overall cooling effectiveness and flow field structure of the double-wall structure were analyzed under four blowing ratios(
M
=0.5,1.0,1.5,2.0).The results indicate that,compared to conventional cylindrical film holes,the expansion angle crater film holes facilitate the extension of the film in both the streamwise and spanwise directions,thereby expanding the coverage area of the cooled air on the wall.At
M
= 0.5,1.0,the optimal improvement in the overall cooling effectiveness of the double-wall cooling structure was achieved with
α
=45°.However,at
M
=1.5,2.0,the crater film holes with
α
=25°,35°exhibited the best overall cooling performance.It was found that the novel expansion angle
crater film hole generates a counter-rotating kidney vortex pair(CRKVP),which suppresses the development of the kidney vortex and enhances the adhesion of the cooled air to the wall surface.Furthermore,the decay rate of the CRKVP in the streamwise direction increased with largerαvalues.Although the expansion angle crater film holes increased the aerodynamic loss of the double-wall cooling structure compared to conventional cylindrical film holes,the aerodynamic losses generated by the crater film holes with
α
=25°,35°were relatively low at
M
=0.5—1.5,exceeding those of conventional cylindrical film holes by only 5.07%—15.05%.These findings provide numerical support for the design and selection of film holes(with high cooling efficiency and low loss)for air-cooled turbine blades.
