This book focuses on heat and mass transfer, fluid flow, chemical reaction, and other related
processes that occur in engineering equipment, the natural environment, and living …

This work presents developments to a novel evolutionary framework that symbolically
regresses algebraic forms of the Reynolds stress anisotropy tensor. This work contributes to …

A previously documented systematic computational methodology is implemented and
applied to a jet-in-crossflow problem in order to document all of the pertinent flow physics …

Large-scale computational analyses have been conducted and results compared with
experiments to understand coolant jet and crossflow interaction in discrete-jet film cooling …

The realizable k-ε, standard k-ω, and RSM turbulence models were used to simulate flat
plate film cooling experiments that are commonly described in literature. Adiabatic …

Thermal fields and cooling flows over rotating turbine blades are usually a non-equilibrium
anisotropic flow, and most turbulence models in RANS simulations do not provide …

Film cooling flows are characterized by a row of jets injected at an angle from the blade
surface or endwalls into the heated crossflow. The resulting flowfield is quite complex, and …

Numerical results are presented for a three-dimensional discrete-jet in crossflow problem
typical of a realistic film-cooling application in gas turbines. Key aspects of the study …

Hot-wire anemometry measurements of simulated film cooling are presented to document
the influence of the free-stream turbulence intensity and film cooling hole length-to-diameter …

The flow physics of film cooling with compound-angle shaped holes is documented for
realistic gas turbine parameters. For the first time in the open literature, the combined effects …
