In order to study the aerothermal performance of impulse squealer tip
three impulse squealer and three assisted rib squealer configurations were investigated using numerical simulation method. The gap leakage flow field
tip secondary flow loss
tip total pressure loss and heat transfer coefficient were discussed in detail. The results showed that the squealer leading edge ribs suppressed the suction side branch of over tip leakage vortex
enhanced the over tip leakage flow separation in the squealer. With the same squealer depth
the relative total pressure loss of the double-ribbed squealer tips was the smallest
and the maximum decrease was up to 13% within the research range. The impulse squealer tip enhanced the leakage flow mixing in the squealer
reduced the kinetic energy of the leakage flow. With the same squealer depth
the relative total pressure loss of the impulse double-ribbed squealer tip was the smallest
and the maximum decrease was up to 18% within the research range. The impulse squealer tip reduced the leakage flow re-attachment on the cavity floor
increased the leakage flow re-attachment on the rim and rib surface of the squealer
and a high heat transfer coefficient area appeared on the rim and rib surface.
