Improving turbine endwall cooling uniformity by controlling near-wall secondary flows

In this paper, we propose a design philosophy for cooling high-pressure nozzle guide vane endwalls, which exploits the momentum of cooling jets to control vane secondary flows thereby improving endwall cooling uniformity. The impact of coolant-to-mainstream pressure ratio, hole inclination angle, ho...
