Given the increasing role of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in the aerothermal design of gas turbine vanes and blades, their rigorous validation is becoming more and more important. This article exploits an experimental database obtained by the von Karman Institute (VKI) for Fluid Dynamics for the LS-94 test case. This represents a film-cooled transonic turbine vane, investigated in a five-vane linear cascade configuration under engine-like conditions in terms of the Reynolds number and Mach number. The experimental characterization included inlet freestream turbulence measured with hot-wire anemometry, aerodynamic performance assessed with a three-hole pressure probe in the downstream section, and vane convective heat transfer coefficient distribution determined with thin-film thermometers. The test matrix included cases without any film-cooling injection, pressure-side injection, and suction-side injection. The CFD simulations were carried out in Ansys Fluent, considering the impact of mesh sizing and steady-state Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) transition modelling, as well as more accurate transient scale-resolving simulations. This work provides insight into the advantages and drawbacks of such approaches for gas turbine hot-gas path designers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
