Abstract
The effect of altering the orientation angle of trenched film hole on film cooling effectiveness (ƞ) is analyzed through numerical investigation. The film holes were oriented at 6 different angles viz., 0°, 30°, 45°, 90°, 135° and 180° with a fixed inclination angle 30° and with a pitch to diameter (P/D) ratio 5.The length and depth of the trench embedding the film hole are fixed at 3D and 0.75D respectively. Three different blowing ratios M=0.5, 1 and 1.5 were studied. Results from the study reveal that changing the orientation angle of film hole with in trench offered a considerable improvement on ƞ from near film hole region to far downstream location on test surface. For a low blowing ratio of 0.5, the film cooling effectiveness distribution changes with respect to film hole orientation angle and higher ƞ zones are distributed along the corresponding film hole orientation angle. The film hole oriented at 90° with respect to stream wise direction delivered highest ƞ at all three different blowing ratios due to better lateral spreading and uniform coverage of injected coolant. Except near film hole region, 30° and 45° hole orientation produced uniform lateral effectiveness compared to 0° hole orientation.
