Abstract

Characteristics of full coverage film cooling of an adiabatic flat plate are studied for opposite injection of coolant at different angles. Two in-line adjacent rows of cooling holes injecting in opposite directions are considered in this study. The cooling performance is compared with the configurations having forward and reverse injecting holes at similar injection angles. The holes are arranged in an array of 20 rows with equal spacing both span-wise and stream-wise. Computational analyses are carried out over a wide range of velocity ratios (VR) of practical importance ranging from 0.5 to 2.0 at density ratio of about 1.0. Injection angle and velocity ratio are found to have strong influence on film cooling effectiveness of opposite injection. At low velocity ratio of VR=0.5, film cooling performance of opposite injection at 45° is found better than at other angles, i. e. 30° and 60°. At higher velocity ratios, injection at 30° is found superior. Film cooling effectiveness becomes insensitive to velocity ratios at higher range for 45° and 60° injections. Evolution of effusion film layer and interaction between coolant and primary flow is also studied in this paper.
