Abstract
Effects of hole shapes on film cooling effectiveness downstream of one row of film holes at the blade were investigated using a three-dimensional finite volume method and multi-block technique. The present study also received velocity vectors about different hole shapes. The hole geometries studied include standard cylindrical hole and forward diffused shaped hole and converging slot-hole. It was found that the film cooling effectiveness of cylindrical holes obviously declined along with increasing the blowing ratio. Results of the shaped holes configuration present a marked improvement, with a high effectiveness at the lateral area between adjacent holes and effectiveness of the converging slot-hole was superior to other holes in various blowing ratios. The film cooling effectiveness realized by the slot-holes compared to the cylindrical and forward diffused shaped holes was more excelled at downstream of the intersection of the two slot-holes. The converging slot-hole and forward diffused shaped hole can reduce the vortex intensity, and then enhance the film cooling effectiveness.
