Film cooling on airfoils is a crucial cooling method as the gas turbine industry seeks higher
turbine inlet temperatures. Shaped film cooling holes are widely used in many designs given …

The flow conditions at both the cooling hole exit as well as the cooling hole entrance affect
the cooling performance downstream of cylindrical and fan-shaped holes in a very different …

This study evaluates the impact of typical cooling hole shape variations on the thermal
performance of fan-shaped film holes. A comprehensive set of experimental test cases …

To improve the cooling performance, shape optimization of a fan-shaped film cooling hole
was carried out. Three geometric parameters, including incline angle, lateral expansion …

The present review paper, although far from being complete, aims to give an overview about
the present state of the art in the field of heat transfer technology for internal cooling of gas …

In the suction surface gill region of the turbine blade, three representative regions with a
favorable pressure gradient (FPG), adverse pressure gradient (APG), and pressure gradient …

A film cooling experiment was conducted for a novel hole structure, namely, the combined
hole slot. The basic geometric shape of the combined hole slot is connecting adjacent …

Heat transfer continues to be a major field of interest to engineering and scientific
researchers, as well as designers, developers, and manufacturers. The wealth of …

The flow conditions at both, the cooling hole exit as well as the cooling hole entrance affect
in a very different way the cooling performance downstream of cylindrical and fan-shaped …

As the load of a modern turbine is increasing, the turning angle and the flow acceleration is
increasing. The effects of streamwise pressure gradient (SPG) and wall curvature on film …
