Effective cooling of modern low NOx combustor liners is achieved through combinations of impingement and other heat transfer enhancement methods. In the present study, a combination of impingement and trip strips is studied to determine the optimum location of trip strips with respect to impingement jet arrays. Heat transfer with pure impingement has degradation downstream due to increased cross-flow effects. To counter the cross-flow induced heat transfer degradation, a combination technique wherein impingement is combined with ribs placed in between impingement rows or downstream of the impingement array is studied. Three configurations with increased rib placements and reduced impingement holes are studied and compared with pure impingement cases for the same jet Reynolds number. Three jet Reynolds numbers are studied for Rej = 10000, 20000, and 30000. Detailed heat transfer distributions are obtained using the transient liquid crystal technique. Results show that the presence of ribs increases jet impingement heat transfer on the surface with lower mass flows. The effectiveness of the combination ribs and impingement can provide higher heat transfer with reduced cooling air requirements.

Impingement heat transfer is significantly affected by initial cross-flow or by the presence of cross-flow from upstream spent jets. In this study, a zero cross-flow design is presented. The zero-crossflow design creates spacing between hole arrays to allow for spent flow to be directed away from impinging jets. Three configurations with different impingement holes placements are studied and compared with pure impingement with spent crossflow cases for the same jet Reynolds number. Three jet Reynolds numbers are studied for Rej = 10000, 20000, and 30000. Detailed heat transfer distributions are obtained using the transient liquid crystal technique. The zero-cross flow design clearly shows minimal degradation of impingement heat transfer due to crossflow compared to conventional design with lower mass flow rate requirement and lesser number of overall impingement holes due to the reduced cross-flow effect on the impingement region.

The effect of channel rotation on jet impingement cooling by arrays of circular jets in twin channels was studied. Impinging jet flows were in the direction of rotation in one channel and opposite to the direction of rotation in the other channel. The jets impinged normally on the smooth, heated target wall in each channel. The spent air exited the channels through extraction holes in each target wall, which eliminates cross flow on other jets. Jet rotation numbers and jet Reynolds numbers varied from 0.0 to 0.0028 and 5000 to 10,000, respectively. For the target walls with jet flow in the direction of rotation (or opposite to the direction of rotation), as rotation number increases heat transfer decreases up to 25% (or 15%) as compared to corresponding results for non-rotating conditions. This is due to the changes in flow distribution and rotation induced Coriolis and centrifugal forces.

Abstract An experimental study was completed to quantify heat transfer enhancement, pressure loss, and crossflow effect within a channel of inline impinging jets. The jet diameter is 5.08 mm and the jet-to-jet spacing in the streamwise and spanwise directions is fixed at x/d = 11.1 and y/d = 5.9, respectively. The effect of jet-to-target surface spacing was considered with z/d = 3 and 6. For both of the jet-to-target surface spacings, a smooth surface, the reference case, and a surface roughened with partial height pins were investigated. The roughened surface has a staggered array of 120 partial height copper pin fins. The pin to jet diameter and the pin height to diameter ratios are D/d = 0.94 and H/D = 1.6, respectively. Regionally averaged heat transfer coefficient distributions were measured on the target surface, and these distributions were coupled with pressure measurements through the array. The heat transfer augmentation and pressure penalty were investigated over a range of jet Reynolds numbers (10K–70K). The results show high discharge coefficients for all the cases. The channels with the tight jet-to-target surface spacing experience double the cross-flow effect of its increased spacing counterpart. The addition of surface roughness showed a negligible effect on the crossflow. The best heat transfer performance was observed in the impingement channel with the pinned target surface at z/d = 3.

Data which illustrate the effects of hole spacing on the heat transfer from an array of jets impinging on a flat plate are presented. Considered are Reynolds numbers ranging from 8200, to 30500, and Mach numbers from 0.1 to 0.2. The spacing of the holes used to produce the impinging jets is either 8D or 12D in both the streamwise and spanwise directions. Local and spatially-averaged Nusselt numbers show strong dependence on the impingement jet Reynolds number for both situations. Experimental results show that local Nusselt numbers show some dependence on the Mach number for the smaller jet hole spacing, with negligible dependence for the larger jet hole spacing. This is partially a result of the accumulating cross-flows produced by the jets, as well as the interactions of the vortex structures which initially form around the jets, and then impact and interact as they advect away from stagnation points along the impingement target surface. Spatially-averaged Nusselt numbers generally decrease as x/D increases when hole spacing is 8D, whereas Nusselt numbers are generally about constant as x/D increases when hole spacing is 12D. This is partially due to cross-flow effects, as well as behavior of each jet in the array, which is similar to that of a single, isolated jet for the larger hole spacing. Spatially-averaged Nusselt numbers for 8D jet hole spacing are also often higher than values for the 12D jet hole spacing when compared at the same x/D location.

ABSTRACT This paper proposes an alternating elliptical impingement chamber in the leading edge of a gas turbine to restrain the cross flow and enhance the heat transfer, and investigates the detailed flow and heat transfer characteristics. The chamber consists of straight sections and transition sections. Numerical simulations are performed by solving the three-dimensional (3D) steady Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equations with the Shear Stress Transport (SST) k– $\omega$ turbulence model. The influences of alternating the cross section on the impingement flow and heat transfer of the chamber are studied by comparison with a smooth semi-elliptical impingement chamber at a cross-flow Velocity Ratio (VR) of 0.2 and Temperature Ratio (TR) of 1.00 in the primary study. Then, the effects of the cross-flow VR and TR are further investigated. The results reveal that, in the semi-elliptical impingement chamber, the impingement jet is deflected by the cross flow and the heat transfer performance is degraded. However, in the alternating elliptical chamber, the cross flow is transformed to a pair of longitudinal vortices, and the flow direction at the centre of the cross section is parallel to the impingement jet, thus improving the jet penetration ability and enhancing the impingement heat transfer. In addition, the heat transfer in the semi-elliptical chamber degrades rapidly away from the stagnation region, while the longitudinal vortices enhance the heat transfer further, making the heat transfer coefficient distribution more uniform. The Nusselt number decreases with increase of VR and TR for both the semi-elliptical chamber and the alternating elliptical chamber. The alternating elliptical chamber enhances the heat transfer and moves the stagnation point up for all VR and TR, and the heat transfer enhancement is more obvious at high cross-flow velocity ratio.

Abstract This article shows the first parametric study on turbulent multi-jet impingement cooling flows using large-eddy simulations (LES). We focus on assessing the influence of the inter-jet distance and the cross-flow conditions on the heat transfer at the impingement wall. The LES setup is thoroughly validated with both experimental and direct numerical simulation data, showing an excellent agreement. The inter-jet distance effect on the heat transfer is studied comparing three different distances, where the full Nusselt number profile decreases in amplitude when the jet distance is increased. To evaluate the cross-flow effects, we prescribe both laminar and turbulent inflow conditions at different cross-flow magnitudes ranging between 20% and 40% of the impinging jet speed. Large cross-flow intensities cause a jet deflection which reduces the maxima in the Nusselt number distribution, and it increases the heat transfer in the areas of the wall less affected by the jet impingement. Adding realistic turbulent fluctuations to the inflow enhances the cross-flow effects on the heat transfer at the impingement wall.
