Abstract

Numerical simulation is performed to explore leading film cooling enhancement by the application of injecting water mist into the air. The accuracy of numerical simulation program for conjugate heat transfer methodology is verified with the C3X gas turbine vanes cooled with leading edge films. The effect of various parameters including mist concentration, mist diameter, different particle wall interactions conditions, and different forces on the improvement of cooling performance is investigated in this paper. It indicates that mist film cooling can decrease the temperature of boundary layer without impact on the temperature of the mainstream and the thickness of boundary layer.
