Endwall Heat Transfer and Shear Stress for a Nozzle Guide Vane with Fillets and a Leakage Interface

Increasing the combustion temperatures in a gas turbine engine to achieve higher efficiency and power output also results in high heat loads to turbine components downstream of the combustor. The challenge of adequately cooling the nozzle guide vane directly downstream of the combustor is compounded...
