Resumen

The demand for increased turbomachinery performance, both, towards higher pressures and temperatures, leads to high thermal-loads of specific components and can critically affect mechanical integrity. In the particular case of rotating-disk configurations, like the back-side of wheels or in cavities, a very efficient way for cooling is jet impingement. An example for this situation are high pressure-ratio turbochargers, where cooling of the impeller disk (back wall) is introduced to achieve tolerable thermal loads. From the physical point of view, jet impingement on a rotating wall generates an unsteady heat transfer situation. On the other end, accurate values of time-averaged temperatures would be sufficient for design purposes. In general, obtaining circumferentially time-averaged solutions requires transient analysis of the conjugate heat transfer (CHT) process to account for the mean effect of jet cooling on solids. Such analysis is computationally expensive, due to the difference in information propagation time-scale for the solid and the fluid. In this paper, a new approach to directly compute circumferentially time-averaged (i.e., steady-state) temperature distributions for rotating-disk CHT problems is presented based on an adaption of the well known fluid-fluid mixing plane approach.
