Aerospace Instrument-Making Annotation << Back EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COOLING CHANNELS OF A TURBINE BLADE. CALCULATION AND EXPERIMENT D.G. Ievlev This paper presents method for evaluating the effectiveness of the cooling channels of a turbine blade. Calculations were conducted by means of CFD using Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS). Special attention is given to its verification with an experimental data taking into consideration different models of turbulence and grid. Results from numerical simulation are compared to test measurements. Keywords: Cooling turbine blade, CFD, heat transfer. E-mail: piral@list.ru
