Large Eddy Simulations of Flow and Heat Transfer in the Developing and 180° Bend Regions of Ribbed Gas Turbine Blade Internal Cooling Ducts with Rotation - Effect of Coriolis and Centrifugal Buoyancy Forces
Increasing the turbine inlet temperature of gas turbine engines significantly increases their power output and efficiency, but it also increases the likelihood of thermal failure. Internal passages with tiny ribs are typically cast into turbine blades to cool them, and the ability to accurately pre...
