Abstract:
Numerical simulation methods were adopted to investigate the heat transfer and film cooling effect at the pressure-side winglet-squealer tip in the first stage of a gas turbine. The effects of seven different tip geometries (e.g.uniform cross-section winglet and distortion winglet) on the aerodynamic performance of turbine stage and the heat transfer coefficient distributions at the tip were analyzed. The film cooling and heat transfer performances at the conventional squealer tip, non-pressure-side rim tip and pressure-side winglet tip with two different hole arrangements (single row of hole-array and double rows of hole-array) were compared. The result shows that a high heat transfer area appears on the cavity floor of the conventional squealer tip. A proper design of pressure-side winglet is able to effectively eliminate the high heat transfer area on the cavity floor and also reduce the averaged heat transfer coefficient at the squealer tip. Compared with the conventional squealer tip, the averaged heat transfer coefficient at the distorted winglet tip with round corners is reduced by about 16.45%. The single row of tip cooling holes has a significant effect on reducing the averaged heat transfer coefficient of squealer tips, while the film cooling effectiveness at different squealer tips is significantly improved with the double rows of hole-arrays. For the single row of hole-array cases, the advantage of film cooling effect on the winglet-squealer tip is not obvious. The heat transfer and film cooling effect can be improved significantly by adding film cooling holes at the blade pressure side. With both tip and pressure-side cooling hole-arrays, the averaged heat transfer coefficient at the winglet-squealer tip is about 0.76% lower than that of the conventional squealer tip, and 7.84% lower than that of non-pressure side rim tip. The film cooling effectiveness at the winglet-squealer tip is about 9.13% higher than that of the conventional squealer tip, and 9.6% higher than that of the non-pressure side rim tip. © 2022, Editorial Office of Journal of Xi'an Jiaotong University.
