[0002] In order to further improve the cycle thermal efficiency and output power of gas turbine engines, the temperature before the gas turbine continues to increase, which leads to a significant increase in the thermal load of the turbine blades. Film cooling is a widely used cooling technology in air-cooled turbine blades. Early film cooling mostly selected cylindrical holes that are easy to process. However, with the increase in the thermal load of turbine blades, the problem of insufficient cooling capacity of traditional cylindrical holes has become increasingly prominent. In the actual application of cylindrical holes, as the amount of cold air increases, the jet momentum increases accordingly, resulting in the inability of cold air to form a good adhesion on the blade surface, causing cooling failure.

[0029] The embodiment of the present invention can effectively reduce the outflow momentum of cold air, induce the cold air to fully develop in the groove structure 4, and significantly improve the air film cooling efficiency. At the same time, the shape of the groove structure 4 can be formed by a thermal barrier coating, which will not affect the strength of the blade substrate and has a wide range of application prospects.

[0030] The groove structure 4 includes a platform area 5 and two recessed areas 6. The platform area 5 corresponds to the outlet position of the cylindrical air film hole 3, and the platform area 5 has an end surface facing the outlet of the cylindrical air film hole 3; the two recessed areas 6 are both arc-shaped structures, and the two recessed areas 6 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the platform area 5.

[0031] A platform area 5 and two recessed areas 6 are arranged at the downstream position of the cylindrical air film hole 3, and are directly opposite to the position of the cylindrical air film hole 3, which can be used to reduce the outflow momentum of cold air. At the same time, the recessed areas 6 are located on both sides of the platform area 5 and present an arc structure, which is used to induce cold air to form a reflux in the groove structure 4, thereby achieving full development of cold air in the groove structure 4.

[0032] Preferably, a discrete semicircular groove 7 is provided on the end surface of the platform area 5. The discrete semicircular groove 7 can perform secondary crushing on the outflow of cold air, further reducing the speed of the cold air.

[0033] Preferably, the platform area 5 and a recessed area 6 form a groove unit, the groove structure 4 includes a plurality of groove units, and the platform areas 5 of adjacent groove units are connected to the recessed areas 6. There are also a plurality of cylindrical air film holes 3, and the plurality of cylindrical air film holes 3 correspond one-to-one to the platform areas 5 of the plurality of groove units.

[0034] The provision of multiple groove units and multiple cylindrical air film holes 3 can simultaneously increase the cooling efficiency of the overall device, and the specific number of settings can be selected according to the requirements of different cooling effects. The multiple groove units and multiple cylindrical air film holes 3 can be placed in a single row or in multiple rows, which is not limited here.

[0035] The specific structural parameters are as follows:

[0036] The diameter of the cylindrical air film hole 3 is D, and D is 0.45-1.5 mm. The length of the cylindrical air film hole 3 is L, where 2D≤L≤6D. The flow direction inclination angle between the cylindrical air film hole 3 and the horizontal plane is α, where 30°≤α≤90°. The flow direction length of the outlet of the cylindrical air film hole 3 is W1, where 1D≤W1≤2D. The distance between the axes of two adjacent cylindrical air film holes 3 is 2D-5D.

[0037] The span width of the platform area 5 is S2, wherein 0.5D≤S2≤1.5D; the flow lengths of the platform area 5 and the recessed area 6 are both W2, wherein 0.5D≤W2≤1.5D; the span width of the recessed area 6 is S1, wherein 0.5D≤S1≤1.5D, and S1=S2.

The depth of the color represents the cooling efficiency of the air film. The lighter the color, the greater the air film cooling efficiency, and the darker the color, the lower the air film cooling efficiency. From the comparison of the upper and lower figures, it can be seen that compared with the traditional groove hole, the new groove air film hole structure with an arc-shaped platform increases the extensional coverage area of ​​the cold air, effectively reduces the outflow momentum of the cold air, and greatly improves the air film cooling efficiency.

[0040] Figure 7 The film cooling structure parameters used in the test are as follows: the diameter D of the cylindrical film hole 3 is 1.0 mm, the length L of the cylindrical film hole 3 is 6D, the flow inclination angle α is 30°, the lateral hole spacing between adjacent cylindrical film holes 3 is 3D, and the groove depth H is 1D. The span width S2 of the platform area 5 is 1D, the diameter R1 of the discrete semicircular groove 7 on the platform area 5 is 0.1D, the groove spacing P is 0.1D, and the height H of the discrete semicircular groove 7 is 1D. In addition, along the flow direction of the film hole, the flow position W2 occupied by the recessed area 6 and the platform area 5 is 1D, and the span spacing S1 and S3 are 1D. The working conditions used in the numerical simulation are as follows: the mainstream velocity is 20m / s, the mainstream turbulence Tu=1%, the cold air to mainstream density ratio DR=1.5, and the blowing ratios are 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 respectively.

[0041] Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The span-wise average and area-average air film cooling effectiveness of the traditional groove hole structure and the new groove hole structure of the present invention are compared. It can be found that compared with the traditional groove hole structure, the present invention provides a new groove air film hole cooling structure with an arc platform, and the air film cooling efficiency is significantly improved under different blowing ratio conditions, which fully demonstrates the superiority of this patent.

[0042] The present invention also provides a turbine blade, comprising the novel groove air film hole with an arc-shaped platform.

[0043] This embodiment has the following beneficial effects:

[0044] 1. The platform area is directly opposite to the outlet of the air film hole, which is used to reduce the momentum of the cold air outflow. At the same time, discrete semicircular grooves are set on the surface of the platform to perform secondary crushing on the cold air outflow and further reduce the cold air speed.

[0045] 2. The recessed area is located on both sides of the platform area and presents an arc-shaped structure, which is used to induce cold air to form a reflux in the groove, thereby achieving full development of cold air in the groove.
