Abstract
This study experimentally and numerically analyzes the effect of the coolant cross-flow on film-cooling effectiveness. The three kinds of film holes considered are cylindrical, fan-shaped, and trenched holes. The results show that the internal coolant flow has a large effect on film cooling. The film-cooling effectiveness of the cross-flow coolant model is larger than that of the plenum model for the cylindrical and trenched holes, but it is less for the fan-shaped hole. A comparison of the experimental and numerical results shows that the Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes model exaggerated the coolant diffusion downstream but underestimates the lateral distribution.
