Numerical simulation was conducted to investigate the heat transfer and flow characteristics of low aspect ratio cylinder pin-fins arrays in turbine blade trailing edge cooling channel
and analyze the action process of inlet Reynolds numbers and pin-fins spacing on cooling channel heat transfer and flow characteristics. The result shows that
with the increase of inlet Reynolds numbers
the channel wall heat transfer performance is improved effectively while the augmentation ability is gradually weakened
and the array pressure loss coefficient is reduced. For the two kinds of spacing
streamwise spacing is the main factor affecting the wall heat transfer performance
and with the decrease of streamwise spacing
the cooling channel heat transfer performance becomes better while reducing pressure loss coefficient; spanwise spacing is the dominant factor affecting cooling channel flow loss
which has an inverse relation between each other. In calculation of the cooling channel
average heat transfer performance of pin-fins is about 1.8 times of the endwall
and endwall heat transfer weight is approximately 0.824 times of the heat transfer area ratio
while this weight is nothing to do with inlet Reynolds numbers.
