Abstract
Detailed understanding of hot gas path flow and heat transfer characteristics in gas turbine systems is imperative in order to design cooling strategies to meet the stringent requirements in terms of coolant usage to maintain critical components below a certain temperature. To this end, extensive research has been carried out over the past four decades on advanced thermal diagnostic methods to accurately measure heat transfer quantities such as Nusselt number and adiabatic film cooling effectiveness. The need to capture local heat transfer characteristics of these complex flow systems drives the development of measurement techniques and the experimental test facilities to support such measurements. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art thermal diagnostic efforts pertaining to heat transfer measurements in rotating gas turbine blade internal and external cooling and rotor-stator disc cavity, all under rotating environments. The major investigation efforts have been identified for each of the above three categories and representative experimental results have been presented and discussed.
