Transition modeling for the prediction of heat transfer coefficient of a gas turbine blade
Abstract:
The presented procedure aims at selecting the best of nine well-known transition models to predict the heat-transfer coefficient of a blade when compared with some experimental data. For the suction surface, the Schlichting transition-start model gave the best prediction followed by that of Seyb. For the pressure surface, the transition-origin models predictions were considered but the concept of natural transition appears questionable.
