Numerical Approach at Flat Plate for Predicting the Film Cooling Effectiveness Part B: Effect Injection Angle

In order to improve the cooling effectiveness of the film, a numerical study was conducted to study the effects of different film-cooled angles on surface heat transfer. In this work CFD simulation has revealed the difference of injection angles ranging from 35°,45°,55°,65° and 90° with different blowing, where the low blowing ratios are represented by M = 0.5, and the high blowing ratios by M = 1.0 and 1.5. And the turbulence closure is done with the help of the k - ω shear stress transport (SST) turbulence model. It is found that the stream-wise variations in the angles of the holes do not really provide a significant change in the adiabatic film cooling effectiveness results. On the other hand, the results indicate that the hole of angles 35°and 45° improved the centerline and laterally averaged adiabatic effectiveness, and the effectiveness decrease particularly at high blowing ratios.
