Abstract

In current study, three dimensional numerical analysis has been employed to investigate the flow and thermal fields, for different geometry of the hole injection of the film cooling over a flat plate. The computational methodology includes the use of a structured, non-uniform hexahedral grid consisting of the main flow channel, the coolant delivery tube and the feeding plenum, applying the SIMPLE algorithm for pressure-velocity coupling. The two sister holes injection located in the vicinity of to the main injection the cylindrical and the fan-shaped hole by angles of 15, 0 and -15 degree to decrease the strength of counter rotating vortex pairs of the main injection hole and the film cooling performance investigated for two blowing ratios of 0.5 and 1 and density ratio of 1.6. The results show that for blowing ratio of 1, the using of sister holes with the angle of 15 degree with fan-shaped hole injection has the best film cooling performance and increases the performance of film cooling about 37.44% more than the base case which is used from sister holes with the angle of 0 degree with cylindrical hole injection.
