Abstract
The effects of pulsations in the main flow on film cooling from a cylindrical hole with a spanwise injection angle (orientation angle) are analyzed using numerical methods. The hole is located on a flat plate with a 35° inclined injection angle, and the compound angle denotes the orientation and inclination angles. The film cooling flow fields for the sinusoidal flow pulsation of 36 Hz from a cylindrical hole with 0° and 30° orientation angles at the time-averaged blowing ratio of M = 0.5 are simulated via large eddy simulation (LES). The CFD results are validated using the experimental data and compared to the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) and URANS results. The results reveal that if the pulsation frequency goes from 0 to 36 Hz, the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness decreases regardless of the compound angle; however, the film cooling for the 30° orientation angle exhibits better performance than that for a simple angle (0°). Moreover, if 36 Hz pulsation is applied, the film cooling effectiveness obtained by unsteady RANS exhibits a large deviation from the experimental data, unlike the LES results. The credibility of the LES results relative to the experimental data is demonstrated by comparing the time-averaged η and the phase-averaged temperature contours. The LES results demonstrate that LES can more accurately predict η than the experimental data; in contrast, URANS results are highly overpredicted around the centerline of the coolant spreading. Thus, LES results are more consistent with the experimental results for the time- and phase-averaged temperature contours than the URANS results.
