The effect of injection hole length on film cooling with bulk flow pulsations
Bulk how pulsations in the form of sinusoidal variations of velocity and static pressure at injectant Strouhal numbers from 0.1-10.1 are investigated as they affect film cooling from a single row of simple angle holes. Similar flow variations are produced by potential flow interactions and passing shock waves near turbine surfaces in gas turbine engines. Time-averaged temperature distributions, phase-averaged temperature distributions, adiabatic film cooling effectiveness values, and iso-energetic Stanton numbers show that important alterations to film cooling protection occur at different ranges of frequencies and coolant Strouhal numbers as non-dimensional injection hole length is changed.
