Abstract:
To reduce the overall thermal load at squealer tip and improve the film cooling effectiveness in high heat transfer areas, the influence of pressure-side coolant jet flow on heat transfer and film cooling performance of squealer tip in a turbine stage was investigated. The heat transfer coefficient and film cooling effectiveness at squealer tip with two kinds of cooling hole shapes (i.e.cylindrical and fan-shaped holes) and five different jet ejection angles (20°-40°) for pressure-side cooling holes were obtained through numerical simulations. The results show that the pressure-side cooling flow enters the cavity near the leading edge, improving the cooling effect on the cavity floor. The pressure-side coolant from the middle chord and near the trailing edge holes forms the cooling film on the tip surface and at the tip trailing edge, which enhances the cooling performance in the tip's high thermal load area. In the present study, the cooling effect on squealer tip is increased with the decrease of ejection angle. For the fan-shaped holes at squealer tip, the area-averaged heat transfer coefficient is increased by 6% and the area-averaged film cooling effectiveness is decreased by 14.3% on the squealer rim, whereas the area-averaged heat transfer coefficient is increased by 36% and the area-averaged film cooling effectiveness is decreased by 37.2% in the tip pressure-side region, as the jet ejection angle increases from 20° to 40°. With small jet ejection angle, the film cooling effect on the squealer tip and pressure-side surface for the fan-shaped holes is better than that of cylindrical holes. If the jet ejection angle is fixed at 20°, the fan-shaped holes are able to decrease the heat transfer coefficient by 2% while increase the film cooling effectiveness by 5.9% on the tip surface, and decrease the heat transfer coefficient by 22.6% while increase the film cooling effectiveness by 43.3% on the pressure-side surface, as compared with the cylindrical holes. © 2022, Editorial Office of Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University.
