Computational study of the effect of inlet velocity profile and rib orientation on heat transfer in rotating ribbed radial turbine cooling passages

This study investigates the effect of inlet velocity profiles and rib orientations on the Nusselt number distribution within ribbed radial turbine cooling passages representative of systems used in current engines. A triple-pass serpentine passage is investigated, which includes rib turbulators angl...
