Abstract
In this paper, a typical cylindrical hole with contoured craters is investigated in terms of the downstream flow field by numerical method at blowing ratios of 0.5, 1 and 1.5. The flow field and the cooling effectiveness are analyzed using three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the shear stress transport turbulence model. In comparison to the cylindrical hole, the cratered hole shows a wider coolant coverage in lateral direction and a lower penetration into the mainstream flow due to the larger hole exit area. Moreover, the interaction between the coolant and the curved protrusion induces a new anti-kidney-shaped vortex pair, which can obviously improve the cooling coverage and thus the cooling effectiveness. The area-averaged cooling effectiveness for the cratered hole is always higher than that for the cylindrical hole at all three blowing ratios.
