Abstract:
Channel with pin fin arrays is often used in the internal cooling of the trailing edge of the turbine blade. Most researches on the internal cooling characteristics are carried out experimentally or numerically at conditions of atmospheric air inlet and low heat load (defined as the ratio of isothermal wall temperature to the cooling air inlet temperature) on the channel wall. However, the cooling conditions for the actual turbine blade are at high air inlet temperature/pressure and high heat load. To understand the effects of the air inlet and heat load conditions on the cooling performance of channels with pin fin arrays, a CFD numerical simulation study was carried out through FLUENT. The numerical results show that with the increase of heat load on the channel wall, the heat transfer performance in the channel decreases and the friction factor in the channel increases. In comparison with the atmospheric air inlet conditions, high air inlet temperature/pressure conditions cause the decrease in the heat transfer capacity of the channel, and the decrease is more significant at high heat load conditions. While the air inlet condition has little influence on friction factor of the channel. With the increase of air inlet Reynolds number (Re), the Nusselt number (Nu) number in the cooling channel at high air inlet temperature/pressure and high heat load conditions decreases more in comparison with that at atmospheric air inlet temperature/pressure and low heat load conditions. This decrease should be considered in the design the internal cooling structure of actual turbine blades. © 2021 32nd Congress of the International Council of the Aeronautical Sciences, ICAS 2021.
