I. SUMMARY

The study described in this summary report was carried

out under NASA Contract NAS 3-7904. It is an experimental

investigation to determine the film cooling effectiveness

obtained by injection o f heated air through a discrete hole

into a turbulent boundary layer of air on a flat plate.

A subsonic wind tunnel was constructed especially

for the studies reported herein. The tunnel is designed to

ensure good flow quality in the test section. (i.e. uniformity

of the velocity field, low turbulence level, flow steadiness

and absence of swirl.) The test section of the tunnel is

designed so that local adiabatic wall temperatures can be

measured downstream of the position at which the heated

secondary gas is introduced into the tunnel. Since local

adiabatic-wall temperature measurements are desired, special

care is taken to ensure that the wall has negligible conduction

parallel to its surface in addition to being well insulated in a

direction normal to its surface.

Adiabatic-wall temperature measurements are obtained for

two different injection angles. The secondary air enters through

a 2 . 3 5 cm diameter tube inclined at an angle of either 35 degrees

or 90 degrees to the main flow. For each of these inclinations,

temperature distributions are measured for two mainstream

velocities, 3 0 . 5 m/sec and 61 m/sec. The ratio of the mass

flux of the injected gas to the mass flux of the freestream

covered in the investigation is between 0.1 and 2.0 . In all of

the experiments the secondary gas is injected at a temperature

approximately 5 5 O C higher that that of the mainstream. When

the injected air enters at an angle of 90' to the mainstream

it encounters a turbulent boundary layer whose displacement

thickness is approximately 0 . 0 9 cm. The displacement thickness

for 35' injection is approximately 0.14 cm at the injection

location.

Basic trends are found to be similar for the two injection

angles with difference occuring only at large injection rates.

Although the trends are the same for the two angles of injection,

sizable differences are found in the level of cooling which can

be obtained.

yield higher effectiveness values than 90 degree injection.

The film cooling effectiveness for both injection angles is

found to be considerably different from that obtained when the

secondary fluid is introduced through a continuous slot.

Injection at an angle of 35 degrees is found to

11. INTRODUCTION

Film cooling is used extensively in recent technological

applications as a means to protect various structural elements

against the influence of a hot gas stream. In this method,

a coolant (liquid or gas) is ejected locally through the

wall of the structure to be protected, in such a way that it

creates a film along the wall which protects the structure from

the influence of the hot fluid. The gas, which will be

considered as coolant, in this discussion is ejected through

a continuous slot, or strip of porous material, or through

an arrangement of shorter openings in single or multiple rows.

Film cooling with injection through a continuous slot

or a porous strip has been investigated in the greatest detail.

This is natural because the flow and temperature fields down-

stream of the slot are two-dimensional and in this way the

investigation, which is already made difficult by the large

number of parameters involved, is simplified. In several

experimental studies, near tangential injection has been used

Other investigations (4, - - 5) employ a step-down slot to intro-

duce the secondary gas. Film cooling experiments have also

been reported with air ( 6 , - - 7) and helium (8 ) - injected through a

porous strip. A number of authors (9, - - - - 1 0 , 11, 12) presented

semi-analytical predictions of film cooling with a turbulent

boundary layer.

Continuous slots o r porous strips have been found to be

an effective arrangement and are therefore used in various

applications, for instance, in combustion chambers, after-

burner nozzles, and rockets. In other applications, such as

gas turbine blade cooling however, stress or manufacturing

considerations make it impractical to use continuous slots

or porous strips and rows of openings are preferable.

of film cooling with such arrangements is made difficult by the

three-dimensional nature of the flow and temperature fields

downstream from the openings, and only sparse information is

available from which the performance of this cooling method

could be predicted.

A study

The flow field, following injection from a single hole

into a main stream, has received some attention. Keffer and

Baines ( 1 3 ) - and Gordier (14) - reported flow visualization studies. Jordinson (15), - Abramovich (16), - Keffer and Baines (13) - , and Gordier (14) - provide detailed information on pressure

contours and on the location of the center line of spreading

jets. All of these investigations were carried out with the

secondary gas injected normal to the mainstream and with a mass

velocity ratio or blowing parameter M defined by

a flat plate downstream of injection have been studied by

Vogler (17). - the mainstream and for a blowing parameter range from 0 . 2 to 1,

These data are obtained for injection normal to

The qualitative descriptions of the interaction between

the secondary gas and the mainstream given by Abramovich (16) -

and Keffer and Baines (13) - are used to design the qualitative

flow diagram presented in Figure 1 for a secondary flow entering

through a circular tube at an angle of 35' to the mainstream.

As the jet of fluid leaves the hole, it retards the main flow

along the upstream side of the jet causing an increased pressure

there, whereas rarefaction occurs at the downstream side. This

pressure difference provides the force which deflects and deforms

the jet. Circulatory motions indicated in Figure 1 are caused by

the intensive intermixing o f the two flows. The deformation of

the jet is strongly affected by the blowing rate parameter. In

general, one expects that the injected fluid penetrates farther

into the stream when the blowing parameter is larger. No suitable

analysis is available at present which would describe quanti-

tatively the interaction and mixing of a three-dimensional

jet with a deflecting flow.

flow theory. These analyses will therefore describe actual

conditions only within a few diameters distance from the

point of injection.

A series o f studies of the penetration of heated air jets

into deflecting air streams was conducted by the NACA with

secondary air introduced at a temperature approximately 16OoC

higher than that of the mainstream. The depth of penetration

of the jet issuing from a thin plate orifice in a direction

perpendicular to the deflecting flow was determined with a

temperature probe (19, - - - 20, 21). Further studies of the depth

of penetration used circular, square, and elliptical orifices

where the jet has already expanded to the side walls.

This

confinement of the jet may strongly effect the shape of the

measured profiles and of the penetration depth. The studies

mentioned in this paragraph appear to be the only ones which

deal with the interaction of a heated jet with a deflecting flow.

The present paper reports some results of an extended

investigation into film cooling with ejection of the secondary

gas through a row of openings. The first phase of this study

deals with ejection through a single circular hole. In a

second phase, the interaction of the jets coming from neighboring

holes is being investigated. A third phase will be concerned

with holes of various shapes. The aim of the entire project

is to obtain a better understanding of the basic processes

involved in film cooling and with this an ability to predict

film cooling performance. The present report describes the

adiabatic wall temperature distributions downstream of a

heated jet of air issuing into a mainstream of air. The boundary

layer along the wall from which the jet issues is turbulent.

The secondary air enters through a long circular hole, the exit

- of which is made flush with the film cooled wall. The purpose

of the long injection tube is to have well-defined conditions at

the exit of the tube. Flow measurements are reported for

injection perpendicular to the free stream and for injection

through a tube inclined at an angle of 35' to the mainstream.

The wind tunnel used in these investigations has been designed

specifically to optimize the accuracy of the investigation.

spreading of the jet and sufficiently high for an unimpeded

penetration of the jet injected from an injection tube with

2 . 5 cm diameter and directed perpendicular to the mainstream

at a blowing rate parameter of approximately 2 . 5 .

111. EXPERIMENTAL APPARATUS

A. Wind Tunnel

The wind tunnel used in this study is shown in Figure 2 .

The mainstream of air is drawn from the room. It passes through

the entrance section, the test section, and the diffuser.

From there the air is then received by a blower and discharged

through a silencer to the outside. The tunnel was designed with

great care and a somewhat detailed discussion may therefore be

of interest.

A subsonic wind tunnel is generally designed to provide

adequate flow quality in the test section with minimum power

requirements. The flow quality, which is of primary concern,

involves the uniformity of the velocity field, the turbulence

level, flow steadiness, and absence of swirl. These factors

are largely controlled by the entrance section which for the

tunnel used in this investigation consists of an elliptical

inlet, filter, straightening section, turbulence reducing

screens, and contraction section. Since the dimensions of the

other components of the entrance section depend on the dimen-

sions of the contraction section, it is discussed first.

The area ratio of a contraction section is generally a

compromise between the allowable physical size and the

desirability of having a larger contraction to reduce turbu-

lence and to obtain a uniform velocity field entering the

Page 13: NASA 54604 HTL TR 82 SUMMARY FILM COOLING INJECTION€¦ · considered as coolant, in this discussion is ejected through a continuous slot, or strip of porous material, or through

9

test section. An area ratio of 9:l is considered adequate.

A test section 2 0 . 3 cm x 2 0 . 3 cm in cross section thus results

in an upstream side of the contraction 6 0 . 9 cm x 6 0 . 9 cm.

The contraction length is 75 cm. Again this is a compromise

between short sections which have undesirable pressure variations

along their boundary and long contractions, which result in

thick boundary layers at the exit. The shape of the contraction

was determined by the method of Rouse and Hassan ( 2 4 ) , - which

uses two cubic equations to define the upstream portion and the

downstream portion of the contour.

Directly upstream of the contraction section are three

screens to reduce the turbulence level. In the downstream 1 direction these are 24 mesh , 40 mesh, and 60 mesh respectively,

all of about 50 - 55 percent porosity (open area). The screens

are placed approximately ten centimeters apart (more than 300

wire diameters) in order that the wakes from the wires be

dissipated before the air enters the following screen.

upstream flow straighteners are plastic straws approximately

0 . 7 cm ID and 22 cm long located 15 cm upstream of the first

screen. A blanket type fiberglass filter is placed directly

ahead of the straighteners to eliminate dust from the incoming

air.

The

The inlet portion to the entrance section has the same

shape as an inviscid jet issuing from an infinitely large

container through a 79 cm x 7 9 cm square aperture. In this

the pressure along the inlet wall is constant, thus avoiding

flow separation and minimizing the boundary layer thickness.

The values for the profile were obtained from Reference (24) -

and approximated by a quarter ellipse.

The diffuser gives a smooth, efficient transition from

the 20.3 cm x 20.3 cm test section to the 51 cm diameter blower

inlet. It has an equivalent total opening angle of 8.4 degrees.

Flow straighteners, to prevent blower swirl from feeding back

into the test section, are located downstream of the diverging

section. These straighteners are made of tubes 3.8 cm diameter

by 30 cm long which are enclosed in a cylindrical housing.

B. Secondary Flow System

The secondary o r injected air is supplied by the compressor

of the laboratory. After being filtered it passes through a

pressure regulator which reduces the pressure and eliminates

pressure fluctuations. Following the regulator is a needle

valve which controls the air flow rate.

Temperature fluctuations introduced by the compressor

are eliminated by passing the air through 30 meters of 2.54 cm

diameter coiled copper tubing which is submerged in a large

tank of water. This gives a stable temperature condition at

the inlet of the heater used to raise the injection air

temperature. Before entering the heater the flow rate of the

secondary air is measured with a thin plate orifice meter.

The orifice assembly is designed in accordance with the

ASME Power Test Code ( 2 5 ) . - Four orifice plates were used to

cover the range of flow rates and their coefficients were

determined by calibration with water measuring the flow rate

by weighing.

agreement with the tabulated values for sharp edged orifices

The results of the calibration are in excellent

presented in Reference (25) - having a maximum deviation of less

than 0.5%.

In the wind tunnel assembly, the secondary air passes

from the orifice assembly to the heater which consists

The third segment of the test section is 103 cm long and

is fastened rigidly to the diffuser. Its bottom wall is an

adiabatic test plate as indicated in Figure 3 designed according

to the following considerations: it should have a rapid thermal

response and it should be adiabatic, this means the plate should

not only be well insulated in a direction normal to its surface,

it must also have negligible conduction in all directions parallel

to the surface, since local adiabatic temperature measurements

are desired. The design chosen is shown in Figure 3. It consists

conduction through the plate. The test section is also

equipped with static pressure taps on the bottom and side walls.

Since the adiabatic wall is thin, the static pressure

difference between the inside and outside of the tunnel pro-

duced by the mainstream flow is sufficient to deform the plate

between its supports. Therefore, a cover is used to seal the

region below the insulated test plate. The space between the

back o f the test plate and the cover is held at a pressure eq,ual

t o the static pressure inside the tunnel by means of two tubes

leading from this space to the diffuser section at a position

immediately downstream of the test section.

D. Instrumentation

The boundary-layer velocity profiles are obtained by meas-

uring the total pressure with a small flattened total pressure

probe and the static pressure with taps located on the side wall

of the tunnel. The tip of the total pressure probe is made

from 0.091 cm OD stainless steel hypodermic tubing, the end

of which is thinned to 0.0038 cm wall thickness, then flattened

to a 0.0076 cm opening and honed smooth. The probe is mounted

on a sliding carriage which has a micrometer head.

provides both vertical and axial positioning of the probe tip.

The assembly

The probe can be inserted through one of three grooves cut

in the top of the tunnel test section at positions on the axis

of the tunnel and 6 .5 cm to either side of the axis. The

measurements off the tunnel axis check the lateral uniformity

of the main flow.

Velocity and temperature profiles of the secondary fluid

as it enters the test section were measured with no main flow.

A total pressure probe, the tip of which is made from 0 .127

cm OD x 0 .022 cm wall thickness stainless steel hypodermic tubing

and a 36 gauge iron-constantan thermocouple mounted on a traversing

assembly driven by a micrometer head were used for this purpose.

The static pressure was taken as the ambient pressure surrounding

the jet. The thermocouple was attached such that the junction

extends approximately 0 . 3 cm beyond the velocity probe tip.

To measure the free stream velocity for normal operating

conditions of the tunnel, either of the two total pressure

probes is used in conjunction with a side wall static pressure

tap.

IV. TUNNEL OPERATING CONDITIONS

In order to define the operating conditions in the tunnel,

velocity profiles in the boundary layer on the bottom wall of

the test section, as well as velocity and temperature profiles

of the secondary flow at the exit of the injection tube are

trip wire was located on the bottom wall of the test section

approximately 3 . 8 cm downstream from the end of the contraction

section. With the trip wire a fully developed turbulent

velocity profile was found to exist on the test surface. At

any axial position in the tunnel, the velocity profiles at the

center line and those 6.5 cm on either side of the center line

are in agreement indicating the uniformity of flow across the

tunnel.

The profiles were taken with the tunnel assembled with

either injection segment and at mainstream velocities of 30.5

and 61.0 meters per second. The end of the injection tube was

sealed and moved to lateral position away from the line along

which the profiles were being taken.

the profiles taken along the centerline of the tunnel are

presented in Figure 4. These dimensionless profiles are seen

to be in good agreement with each other and with the profile

reported by Klebanoff and Diehl (26). -

Under the assumption that the boundary layer originates

as a turbulent one, it is possible to determine from the velocity

measurements the effective starting position of the boundary

layer and with it to define flow conditions in the test section.

the boundary-layer growth can be expressed in terms of the

where the displacement thickness, 6 * , is defined as

The value 8* can be determined by integration of the measured

V. ADIABATIC WALL TEMPERATURES

Previous studies on film cooling with a continuous slot

established the fact that heat transfer coefficients can be

calculated with relations for convective heat transfer without

ejection of a secondary fluid, provided the heat transfer

coefficients are defined with the adiabatic wall temperature (2). -

This procedure has not yet been checked for film cooling with

injection through holes. It was felt, however, that the infor-

mation most urgently needed is the adiabatic wall temperature.

The present section presents adiabatic wall temperature distri-

butions downstream of a heated jet of air issuing into a main-

stream.

inclined at an angle of 35' to the mainstream and through a tube

perpendicular to the mainstream. The secondary air was intro-

duced into the tunnel at a temperature approximately 5 5 O C above

that of the mainstream. After waiting and checking for thermal

equilibrium, the wall temperatures, mainstream temperature and

injection gas temperature were measured. The adiabatic wall

temperatures are reported in the form of a film cooling effec-

tiveness:

Data were obtained with injection through a tube

T - Tm aw co = T, - T

The adiabatic wall temperature, Taw, is measured by the thermo-

couples installed along the centerline of the test plate. By

moving the injection section laterally, this row of thermo-

couples can be used to measure the axial temperature distribution

at various lateral positions, Z, relative to the jet. The main-

stream temperature, Tm, is measured in two ways, by means of

Page 25: NASA 54604 HTL TR 82 SUMMARY FILM COOLING INJECTION€¦ · considered as coolant, in this discussion is ejected through a continuous slot, or strip of porous material, or through

21

thermocouples located in the mainstream flow upstream of the

injection position and by thermocouples in the test plate at

positions unaffected by the injection. These two measurements

are in agreement. The secondary air temperature, T2, is taken

as that measured by the thermocouples attached to the injection

tube at positions 4% and 6 diameters upstream of its end

(both of which indicate the same temperature). These locations

are far enough upstream from the tube exit to be insensitive

to temperature distortions caused by the mainstream flow any by

the conduction from the tube to the injection plate. Figure 6

shows the effect of this heat conduction in the absence of a

main flow. The values of the injection temperature, T2, and

bulk temperature, TBulk, are also indicated.

that although the bulk temperature is probably the most

representative injection temperature it is very difficult to

measure the velocity and temperature profiles necessary to

calculate it in the presence of primary flow. Figure 6 shows

that T2 gives a good representation of the temperature of the

secondary flow. Special tests were also performed to

determine the error that conduction from the injection region

introduces in the wall temperature readings. The injection tube

was heated to normal operating temperatures (i .e. approximately

5 5 O C above mainstream) without mass injection and wall temperature

measurements were taken at two mainstream velocities ( ~ 3 0 m/sec

and 61 m/sec). The effect of conduction was found to be

negligible.

It should be noted

in dimensionless form as UmD/vm) are considered. For the

purpose of discussion first consider the results o f the tests

performed at UaD/va = 0 . 8 7 x 1 0 . In Figure 7 (M = O.l),

the film cooling effectiveness decreases with increasing axial

distance for lateral positions on o r near the centerline of the

jet. This decrease is reminiscent of the results obtained

with a continuous slot. A t sufficiently large Z/D, however,

the effectiveness is seen to increase rather than decrease with

increasing axial distance. These positions are beyond the edge

of the injection tube.

stream it spreads laterally thereby accounting for the increase

At larger values of the blowing rate parameter, M = 0.2

(Figure 8) and M = 0 . 5 (Figure 9) the same trends are observed.

In going from M = 0.1 to M = 0.5 the overall level of effective-

ness is increased. This agrees with results for film cooling

with injection through a continuous slot where, for this range

of blowing rates, increased mass injection leads to higher

effectiveness. In the two-dimensional case Wieghardt (1)

finds that, except close to the injection slot, the film cooling

Page 27: NASA 54604 HTL TR 82 SUMMARY FILM COOLING INJECTION€¦ · considered as coolant, in this discussion is ejected through a continuous slot, or strip of porous material, or through

23

effectiveness is well represented by the relation

- 0 . 8 r~ = 2 1 . 8 (h)

where S is the slot height. The value MS is the injected mass

flow rate per unit span of the system divided by the mainstream

mass flow rate per unit area. For a row of holes it is possible

to find an effective slot height which is the total area for

mass injection divided by the span. This effective slot height

is dependent on the center spacing of the injection holes and

(as used in Eq. (7) and on Figure 9) would be IT times the tube

diameter divided by four times the spacing between holes expressed

in tube diameters. Two reference curves are presented in Figure 9

in which the film cooling effectiveness is calculated using

Eq. (7) and the effective slot heights, S, for 2-diameter and

3-diameter center to center tube spacing. The reference lines

are presented on this figure because in the present investigation

the maximum film cooling effectiveness is obtained for M c 0 .5 .

The difference in the present results from the film cooling observed

using two-dimensional slots can be attributed to the penetration

of the jet flow into the mainstream and the subsequent flow of

mainstream air down between the jet and the wall.

At still higher values of the blowing rate parameter,

presented in Figure 10 (M = 0 . 7 5 ) and Figure 11 (M = 1.0) the

level of the film cooling effectiveness decreases with increasing

blowing rate.

using a continuous slot and is apparently due to the increased

penetration of the secondary flow into the primary stream at

large values of M. Figures 1 2 through 16 exhibit the same trends

for the case of U m D / v m = 0 . 4 4 x 10 . At the highest blowing rate

studied (Fig. 16) the film cooling effectiveness near the point

of injection first increases with distance downstream, apparently

due to the increased jet penetration. In an effort to qualitatively

see what is happening at the high injection rates, small tufts

of thread attached to a wire were placed in the flow field. By

this means it was observed that the jet penetrates some distance

into the mainstream. The "void" on the downstream side of the

jet caused by the penetration is filled by air from the mainstream.

As the tuft is moved farther downstream the jet is turned into

the direction of the main flow losing its velocity component

normal to the wall simultaneously spreading such that it then

touches the bottom wall. This penetration followed by reattach-

ment through spreading could account for the increasing cooling

effectiveness downstream o f the injection point for large

blowing rate parameters.

This is contrary to what occurs with film cooling

5

A cross plot of the data for an injection angle of 35' is

presented in Figure 17 where the film cooling effectiveness at

a number of axial positions is presented as a function of the

blowing rate parameter. At any axial position the effectiveness

first increases as the injection rate is increased, reaches a

maximum, and then decreases with increased injection. The maxi- N mum occurs at M = 0 .5 . With film cooling through a continuous

slot similar trends have been observed with a maximum being

reached for M ‘g 1.

The lateral film cooling effectiveness distributions at a

number of axial positions are shown f o r two values of the

blowing rate parameter in Figure 18. The shape of these curves

resembles the velocity and temperature distributions in a free

jet (16). - Close to the injection location (small X / D ) the

effectiveness decreases rapidly as one proceeds laterally from

the centerline of the jet. An important feature in this figure

is the relatively small amount of spreading. Observe that if

one were to use a single row of holes in an effort to film cool

a surface, the center to center spacing o f the holes would have

to be quite small unless conduction in the wall equalized the

temperatures. If, for example, the holes are located 3 diameters

apart, the position midway between the holes occurs at Z/D = 1.5,

a position at which little or no cooling would be achieved.

spreading of the jet is also indicated in Figure 26 which will be

discussed later.

The

Examination of the data for injection normal t o the main

flow presented in Figures 19 through 2 5 reveals trends which are

similar to those encountered for 35 degree injection. The film

cooling effectiveness decreases with increasing axial distance

and M = 2.0. These lines are determined from information presented

by Abramovich (16). - From his figures it can be determined that

the temperature spread is approximately 1.4 times greater than the

velocity spread and that the position at which the velocity

difference is one-half the difference between the jet center-

line velocity and the mainstream velocity is approximately

0.46 times the distance between the centerline and edge of the

jet. Applying these factors to the information presented in

(16) - for the lateral spreading of the total width of a jet as

a function of the downstream distance from the plane of efflux

of the jet, it is possible to approximate the thermal spreading.

A comparison of the effectiveness in the axial direction

for the two injection angles at the same mainstream velocity and

injection rate reveals that higher effectiveness is usually

obtained for 35' injection.

point previously discussed that greater spreading exists for the

case of normal injection. The more intensive interaction which

occurs when the secondary flow is perpendicular to the main flow

tends not only to spread the jet but also to lower its temperature.

This result is consistent with the

Figure 2 8 shows the effect of the Reynolds number UmD/vco

of the mainstream on the film cooling effectiveness. The figure

presents information specifically for the case of M = 0.5 and

Z/D = 0 f o r an angle of injection of 35'. It is seen that an

increase in the Reynolds number produces a slight rise in the

effectiveness. A possible explanation for this is that the

dimensionless boundary layer thickness 6 * / X ' decreases with

increasing UmD/vm. For example, at the upstream edge of the

same position 6" = 0 .12 cm for UaD/vm = 0 . 8 7 x 10 . As the

injected air enters the mainstream boundary layer it encounters

a higher relative velocity at positions close to the wall for

the thinner boundary layer. This would have the effect of

turning the injected air more rapidly, decreasing its pene-

tration and therefore leading to slightly higher values of the

film cooling effectiveness.
