U-bend shaped turbine blade cooling passage optimization

The U-bend duct which turns flow through 180° is encountered in many engineering applications in mechanical and aerospace systems. One important example is in modern turbine blade cooling systems and, partly for this reason, the U-bend has been the subject of many fluid dynamic and heat transfer inv...
