Abstract
A full Navier-Stokes solver is used to calculate external heat transfer in two linear two-dimensional turbine cascades, one subsonic and one transonic. Heat transfer results obtained with two low-Reynolds k-∊ models (Chien and Launder-Sharma) and two k-ω models (Wilcox standard and transition) are compared with measurements. Good agreement is found in some regions, but the suction side transition and the leading edge are not predicted correctly. Problems with turbulence levels that are too high in the leading edge region are investigated. The numerical quality of the results is investigated and a few general guidelines about the numerics are given. Grid and scheme independence is also demonstrated.
