Comparative study between a cut-back and conventional trailing edge film cooling system

Journal article

The present experimental study investigates the aero performance differences between a conventional turbine blade trailing edge and a trailing edge with a sharp cut-back. Both geometries include trailing edge film cooling. A scaled model of a conventional turbine blade trailing edge and the trailing edge with a sharp cut-back, including the scaled film cooling hole geometries were incorporated into flat plates. Experiments were conducted in a low speed wind tunnel to establish the performance...
