Film cooling performance of blade pressure side was tested in a linear transonic cascade. The film cooling effectiveness of the fan-shaped film hole on blade pressure side was measured at different mainstream inlet Reynolds numbers of 17×105
37×105,57×105
different mainstream exit Mach numbers of 081
091,101 and different blowing ratios of 05-30. Results showed that the mainstream exit Mach number had no distinct effect on the film cooling effectiveness at downstream film hole; however
the mainstream inlet Reynolds number had a significant effect on the film cooling effectiveness. The blowing ratio corresponding to distinguish the film’s lifting off increased with the added mainstream inlet Reynolds number
the film began to lift off at blowing ratio of 10 at mainstream inlet Reynolds number of 17×105 while these corresponding to mainstream inlet Reynolds number of 37×105 and 57×105 were blowing ratios of 20 and 25. At small blowing ratios
the case with higher mainstream inlet Reynolds number had a lager film cooling effectiveness at the region adjacent to the hole and a lower film cooling effectiveness at downstream area; however
at high blowing ratios
higher mainstream inlet Reynolds number resulted in lower film cooling effectiveness.
