Gas turbines have been extensively used for aircraft engine propulsion, land-based power
generation, and industrial applications. Power output and thermal efficiency of gas turbines …

Film-cooling technology is used in high-temperature components of gas turbines to extend
their service lives. Hot-gas path components are susceptible to damage or failure in the …

The leading-edge cooling configuration with the notch design on the stagnation line
proposed in the preliminary work may become a promising structure to reduce further the …

In this study, the effects of three trench configurations–the height, the distance from the hole
exit to the downstream sidewall, and the radius of the curvature of the downstream sidewall …

In response to the cooling requirements of high adiabatic cooling effectiveness and low
convective heat transfer coefficient on the outer wall of the showerhead leading-edge of the …

Pressure-sensitive paint (PSP) can be a powerful tool in measuring the adiabatic film
cooling effectiveness. There are two distinct sources of error for this measurement …

Advances in cooling technologies have enabled turbine designers to push the turbine entry
temperature to temperatures as high as 1700° C which are well beyond the material limit of …

Improved film cooling hole geometries and effect of coolant density on film cooling have
been a focus since the 1970s. One of the first studies on modifying hole exit to improve film …

The mutual interference between the combustor and turbine of modern aero-engines has
gradually increased with recent advancements, and turbine cooling design considering the …

This paper employed the pressure sensitive paint (PSP) technique to measure the adiabatic
film cooling effectiveness distributions of both the single-wall cooling vane (SCV) and the …
