Backward film cooling can protect more efficiently some regions of turbine hot components,
in comparison with the forward jet. The rapid increase of operational temperature requires …

Adiabatic film effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient were determined for a full-coverage
effusion cooled surface which simulates a portion of a gas turbine blade. Adiabatic film …

Recent studies have demonstrated that the simple cylindrical hole with backward injection,
where the jets are injected reverse to the mainstream flow direction, outperforms its forward …

The large eddy simulations (LES) are performed to access the film cooling performance of
cylindrical and reverse shaped hole for forward and reverse injection configurations. In the …

The present study investigates the effects of upstream ramps on a backward-injection film
cooling over a flat surface. Two ramp structures, referred to as a straight-wedge-shaped …

Recent studies have demonstrated that cylindrical hole with backward injection
arrangement, of which the jets are injected reverse to the mainstream flow direction …

A novel airfoil leading edge film cooling design has been investigated, and its performance
over conventional alternatives quantified. In conventional designs, the region near the …
