Turbine blade platform film cooling with simulated stator-rotor purge flow with varied seal width and upstream wake with vortex

The turbine blade platform can be protected from hot mainstream gases by injecting cooler air through the gap between stator and rotor. The effectiveness of this film cooling method depends on the geometry of the slot, the quantity of injected air, and the secondary flows near the platform. The purp...
