Pulsed film cooling jets subject to periodic wakes were studied experimentally. The wakes were generated with a spoked wheel upstream of a flat plate. Cases with a single row of cylindrical film cooling holes inclined at 35 deg to the surface were considered at blowing ratios B of 0.50 and 1.0 with jet pulsing and wake Strouhal numbers of 0.15, 0.30, and 0.60. Wake timing was varied with respect to the pulsing. Temperature measurements were made using an infrared camera, thermocouples, and constant current (cold wire) anemometry. The local film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient were determined from the measured temperatures. Phase locked flow temperature fields were determined from cold-wire surveys. With B0.5, wakes and pulsing both lead to a reduction in film cooling effectiveness, and the reduction is larger when wakes and pulsing are combined. With B1.0, pulsing again causes a reduction in effectiveness, but wakes tend to counteract this effect somewhat by reducing jet lift-off. At low Strouhal numbers, wake timing had a significant effect on the instantaneous film cooling effectiveness, but wakes in general had very little effect on the time averaged effectiveness. At high Strouhal numbers, the wake effect was stronger, but the wake timing was less important. Wakes increased the heat transfer coefficient strongly and similarly in cases with and without film cooling, regardless of wake timing. Heat transfer coefficient ratios, similar to the time averaged film cooling effectiveness, did not depend strongly on wake timing for the cases considered.
The combined effects of pulsed film cooling and upstream wakes were studied. In film cooling, compressed air is routed around the combustion chamber of a gas turbine engine and bled through holes on the surface of the turbine blades. This compressed air creates a protective film of relatively cool air that reduces the heat transfer between the combustion gases and the blades. Diverting air from the combustor reduces the power and efficiency of the turbine; however, pulsing the air may provide equivalent or acceptable protection for the turbine blades with less cooling air. Previous pulsed film cooling studies have been completed with a simplified, continuous freestream flow. In an actual turbine, the combustion gases pass through a cascade of rotor blades and stator vanes, which interrupt the flow, sending wakes downstream to subsequent rows of turbine blades. In this study, periodic wakes were added to the mainstream flow. A large test plate was constructed with a row of holes through which film cooling air could be pulsed. A wind tunnel provided a wall jet at a controlled velocity across the test plate. A wake generator was located upstream of the test plate to simulate the effect of upstream turbine blades, so that the resulting flow field, film cooling effectiveness, and heat transfer could be studied. Continuous film cooling resulted in better blade protection than pulsed film cooling at equivalent wake frequencies. For the cases with a continuous freestream and the cases with lower wake frequencies, continuous film cooling jets blowing at half the freestream velocity provided the best protection. For the highest wake frequency tested, continuous film cooling jets blowing at a velocity equal to the freestream velocity provided the best protection. Finally, when comparing pulse timing relative to the wake passing, there was some improvement in blade protection when the cooling jet was on as the wake passed over the cooling holes; however in most cases, differences were small. This study suggests that, for the geometry tested, continuous film cooling provides better protection for gas turbine blades for the same amount of cooling air.
Turbulent wall jets have many important engineering applications. Much effort has been spent to investigate the plane turbulent wall jet without external stream (Launder and Rodi 1981,1983, Katz et al 1992, Wygnanski et al 1992) and with a relatively slow external stream (Zhou and Wygnanski 1993, Zhou et al 1996). However, many engineering applications seem to be described better by a wall jet embedded in a uniform stream of comparable velocity (the weak wall jet), for example, the cooling turbine blades and the flows over a wing equipped with a slotted flap (Fig. 1) represents such flows. The recently developed technique for separation control by periodic blowing/suction on the flap also belongs to category (Fig. 2). Thus, it is important to provide a better understanding of the development of these flows. For example: the possibility of flow similarity, normalization of the mean velocity fields, scaling laws for the governing parameters, as well as the various responses to external excitations. This report represents but a single facet of the general effort endeavoring to use the wall jet for boundary layer control, film cooling and the exertion of force on a body through the use of what is commonly known as the Coanda Effect.

Film cooling flows subject to periodic wakes were studied experimentally. The wakes were generated with a spoked wheel upstream of a flat plate. Cases with a single row of cylindrical film cooling holes inclined at 35 deg to the surface were considered at blowing ratios of 0.25, 0.50, and 1.0 with a steady freestream and with wake Strouhal numbers of 0.15, 0.30, and 0.60. Temperature measurements were made using an infrared camera, thermocouples, and constant current (cold-wire) anemometry. Hot-wire anemometry was used for velocity measurements. The local film cooling effectiveness and heat transfer coefficient were determined from the measured temperatures. Phase locked flow temperature fields were determined from cold-wire surveys. Wakes decreased the film cooling effectiveness for blowing ratios of 0.25 and 0.50 when compared to steady freestream cases. In contrast, effectiveness increased with Strouhal number for the 1.0 blowing ratio cases, as the wakes helped mitigate the effects of jet lift-off. Heat transfer coefficients increased with wake passing frequency, with nearly the same percentage increase in cases with and without film cooling. The time resolved flow measurements show the interaction of the wakes with the film cooling jets. Near-wall flow measurements are used to infer the instantaneous film cooling effectiveness as it changes during the wake passing cycle.
The current work expands on this initiative incorporating a sector annular duct as the test setting for the rotating wakes focusing on this endwall region. Studies in to the effect of the rods in this alternate orientation include film cooling effectiveness using temperature sensitive paint, impact of wake rod to film cooling hole diameter ratio, and time accurate numerical predictions and comparisons with experimental work. Data are shown for a range of momentum flux ratios and Strouhal numbers. The result of this work sets the stage for the complete understanding of the unsteady wake and inclined jet interaction.
This rig also includes film injection that allows study of impact of moving wakes on film cooling. This wake is a simplified representation of the trailing edge created by an upstream airfoil. An annulus with 30° pitch test section is considered in this study. This experimental rig is based on an existing flat plate film cooling (BFC) rig that has been validated in the past. Measurement of velocity profiles within the moving wake downstream from the wake generator is used to validate the CFD rotating wake model. The open literature on film cooling and past experiments performed in the laboratory validated the CFD film cooling model. With these validations completed, the full CFD model predicts the wake and film cooling interaction. Nine CFD cases were considered by varying the film cooling blowing ratio and the wake Strouhal number. The results indicated that wakes highly enhance film cooling effectiveness near film cooling holes and degrades the film blanket downstream of the film injection, at the moment of wake passing. However, the time-averaged film cooling effectiveness is more or less the same with or without wake.
