Contribution of Different Parameters on Film Cooling Efficiency Based on the Improved Orthogonal Experiment Method

Resumen

The use of film cooling technology is one of the most effective ways to minimize the damage to wall materials caused by the high-temperature environment in a ramjet. Optimization of the design to achieve the highest film cooling efficiency on the hot wall is the focus of current research. Due to the large number of parameters affecting the film cooling efficiency and the interactions between them, an improved orthogonal design-of-experiments method is chosen to investigate the contribution of different parameters. Flat plate film cooling and transverse groove film cooling are simulated numerically. The results indicated that the contribution of each parameter is ranked as hole spacing (S/D) > incidence angle > blowing ratio for flat plate film cooling; hole spacing > transverse groove depth > blowing ratio > incidence angle for transverse groove film cooling. The film cooling efficiency is inversely proportional to the size of the flow field area affected by the vortex ring and directly proportional to the size of the vortex intensity. Transverse groove film cooling forms a more complete film in most cases, which is better than flat plate film cooling. Within the scope of this study, a complete film at S/D > 2.0 cannot be generated on the flat plate, which should not be used in ramjet.
