Project Dates: 10/1/2009 - 9/30/2012

Area of Research: Aero/Heat Transfer

Federal Project Manager: Robin Ames

Project Objective: This project is advanced research designed to provide the gas turbine industry with a set of quantitative aerodynamic and film cooling effectiveness data essential to understanding the basic physics of complex secondary flows. This includes their influence on the efficiency and performance of gas turbines, and the impact that differing film cooling ejection arrangements have on suppressing the detrimental effect of these secondary flows.
