Abstract
A novel double-wall with composite swirl/film cooling structure is proposed in this work to enhance the cooling effectiveness of contemporary gas turbine blades. The influence of different shaped chambers and Biot numbers on the overall cooling effectiveness (OCE) are investigated by Reynolds time-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations and conjugate heat transfer analysis. The results suggest that the proposed composite cooling configuration exhibits outstanding OCE in the simulated range. When the Rm is 1.00 and the Biot number is 0.11, the OCE of the composite structure is improved by 8.92 % over the conventional double-wall structure, and the distribution is more uniform. In addition, the optimal flow and cooling performance of the composite swirl/film cooling structure at high Rm conditions are obtained. The OCE is very sensitive to the variation of the Biot number. Finally, the empirical correlations obtained by the multivariate nonlinear regression fitting method are in good agreement with the simulations, with errors within 10 %. The results also provide important guidance for the development of advanced gas turbine blades double-wall cooling structures.
