Film Cooling Predictions Along the Tip and Platform of a Turbine Blade

Turbine airfoils are exposed to the hottest temperatures in the gas turbine with temperatures typically exceeding the melting point of the blade material. Cooling methods investigated in this computational study included parasitic cooling flow losses, which are inherent to engines, and microcircuit...
