There are different characters of air flow in a conventional gas turbine blade cooling channel. These flow characters; including high streamline curvature caused from 180 degree bends, sequential flow separations caused from rib turbulators and pin-fin structures are analyzed separately with available commercial software for different turbulence models and validated against reliable experimental data from open literature. Also coupled conjugate heat transfer analyses on NASA C3X vane, which has only radial holes through blade span for cooling, are conducted with the same turbulence models. The accuracy information gathered from all these analyses; each interested with a single character of air and coupled conjugate heat transfer are put together and applied to a conjugate numerical analysis of internally cooled (VKI) LS-89 turbine blade. Internal cooling scheme which is applied to (VKI) LS-89 turbine blade encompassed the aforementioned flow characters and analyses are performed under realistic conditions. Because of the high temperature values occurring at realistic conditions, thermal conductivity and specific heat capacity of air and metal (Inconel 718) are modeled as temperature dependent material properties instead of using constant values. Conducted research revealed that 4 eqn. V2-f turbulence model gives similar results compared to the 2 eqn. Realizable k-e, k-w SST turbulence models for 180 degree bend and rib turbulator cases. However, at NASA C3X vane analyses V2-f turbulence model results are far more accurate than other two turbulence models in the manner of heat transfer coefficient and surface temperature distribution.

Conjugate Analysis of Silica-Phenolic Charring Ablation Coupled with Interior Ballistics Alanyalioglu, Cetin Ozan; Özyörük, Yusuf (2021-07-01) Because of its excellent insulation capability, the usage of a silica-phenolic charring ablator as a nozzle liner is a common practice in the solid rocket motor industry. During the design of a solid rocket motor employing a silica-phenolic nozzle liner, it is desired to conduct an accurate analysis yielding in-depth thermal response and recession characteristics. As the interior ballistics and nozzle recession rate mutually interact, the best practice is to perform a coupled solution to both. Commonly used...
The Influence of cooling configuration and tip geometry on gas turbine blade tip leakage flow and heat transfer Sakaoğlu, Sergen; Kahveci, Harika Senem; Department of Aerospace Engineering (2019) In gas turbine engines, an increase in the thermal efﬁciency and power output can be ensured by increasing the turbine inlet temperature. This causes the high-pressure turbine (HPT) blades to be exposed to extremely high temperatures that requires the introduction of cooling ﬂow in order to keep the temperatures within the allowable material limits and to reduce the high thermal loads on the blade. However, cooling ﬂow introduced around the blade tip region affects the blade tip leakage ﬂow and blade tip he...
Modelling of interaction of shock waves with analytical methods Koç, Mesut; Aksel, Mehmet Haluk; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2022-2) In supersonic air vehicles, specially shaped air ducts are used to supply the air with required properties to the combustion chambers. Two-dimensional supersonic flow solvers used to design such geometrical shapes have become less accurate as the geometrical shape of the air duct becomes asymmetric or flow becomes three-dimensional. This problem can be overcome by solving the interaction between shock planes using analytical methods. In this study, an analytical solution model based on principles of gas dyn...
Classical flutter analysis of composite wind turbine blades including compressibility Farsadi, Touraj; Kayran, Altan (Wiley, 2020-08-01) For wind turbine blades with the increased slenderness ratio, flutter instability may occur at lower wind and rotational speeds. For long blades, at the flutter condition, relative velocities at blade sections away from the hub center are usually in the subsonic compressible range. In this study, for the first time for composite wind turbine blades, a frequency domain classical flutter analysis methodology has been presented including the compressibility effect only for the outboard blade sections, which ar...
A process modeling approach for micro drilling of aerospace alloys with a waterjet guided laser system Subasi, Levent; Gökler, Mustafa İlhan; Yaman, Ulaş (2022-04-01) Laser drilling is a preferred method to make cooling holes on gas turbine parts. Although it is a fast process, there are some quality issues. Waterjet guided laser (WJGL) is a hybrid process, in which a laser beam is coupled with and guided through thin cylindrical waterjet. Pressurized water in this novel process provides focusing, cooling and cleaning of the machining zone, eliminating undesired side effects of the laser. The process can be conveniently used for micro drilling operations on aerospace jet...
