Abstract
Double wall cooling is an efficient cooling method for turbine blade. Commonly used double wall cooling configurations contains a cubic cavity between two walls. Chaos flow flied in the cavity impedes heat transfer. In this research, a new spherical cavity was proposed, traditional cubic cavity was replaced by several spherical cavities, film hole located on the top of spherical cavity, and impact hole located at the button of spherical cavity. Adjacent spherical cavities were connected by channel. Different spherical cavities were established and numerical simulation was used to check their performance. The influence of blowing ratio, channel, film hole diameter, spherical cavity diameter was analyzed. The performance of cavities was also compared with common double wall cooling configurations. According to the result, when blowing ratio was 0.3, spherical cavity increased cooling effectiveness by 45.6% maximumly compared to common configurations. As for coolant consumption, spherical cavity needs less coolant than common configurations to achieve the same cooling effectiveness. What's more, film hole located at −45° position was benefit for cooling, and cooling effectiveness would increase further when spherical cavity diameter was enlarged.
