Numerical modelling techniques for turbine blade internal cooling passages

Numerical modelling of internal cooling passages in gas turbine blades is a challenging task due to their physical characteristics, such as rounded duct corners, the presence of rib turbulators and their staggered locations between surfaces. This results in complex fluid dynamic phenomenon such as c...
