Abstract
AbstractThe mixing between the coolant and the boundary-layer gas downstream of an injector—for transpiration/film cooling—has been extensively studied for turbulent flows; however, only a handful of studies concerning laminar mixing exist, particularly in hypersonic flows. In this paper, the concentration of the coolant gas at the wall and the heat flux reduction downstream of a transpiring injector in a hypersonic laminar flow are experimentally measured and examined. Experiments are performed in the Oxford High Density Tunnel at Mach 7. A flat-plate model is coated with pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) to spatially resolve the film and obtain a film effectiveness based on coolant concentration. Thin-film arrays are installed to measure the heat flux reduction. Six different cases are studied featuring nitrogen and helium as the coolant gas, where the blowing ratio is varied from 0.0406% to $$0.295\%$$

is achieved immediately (2 mm) downstream of the injector. The film concentration drops in a monotonic fashion farther downstream; however, a constant film coverage of 5–20 mm immediately downstream of the injector is observed in cases with a higher blowing ratio. A film coverage above 15% over three injector lengths is present even for the lowest blowing ratio. Heat flux reduction is achieved in all cases. The concentration effectiveness obtained from PSP is compared with the thermal film effectiveness calculated from the heat flux reduction. The latter is found to be higher than the former for all data points. Finally, a collapse of the thermal effectiveness is achieved and a modified analytical correlation is proposed.
