DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely explain the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other in the absence of conflict, and the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0029] See also Figure 1-8 This embodiment describes an internal cooling structure of the trailing edge of a gas turbine turbine blade having a wedge-shaped turning channel with column ribs combined with a recess. The main improved structure includes a column rib cooling structure 3 and a recess cooling structure 4. The cooling gas enters from the cooling channel inlet 1 of the blade trailing edge, turns 90 degrees, passes through the column rib cooling structure 3 and the recess cooling structure 4, and then passes through the diverter column 6, and flows out from the cooling channel outlet 2 of the blade trailing edge.

[0030] A pit cooling structure 4 is added to the bottom wall 5 of the cooling channel inside the trailing edge of the turbine blade. The diameter of the column rib 8 is 10 mm, the number of the column rib rows is 4, and they are arranged in a cross-wise manner. The row spacing and column spacing are both 25 mm. Figure 5 shown.

[0031] The bottom wall 5 of the internal cooling channel at the trailing edge of the turbine blade has an area of ​​300×105mm. The bottom wall 5 of the internal cooling channel at the trailing edge of the turbine blade starts 15mm to the right of the right side of the cooling channel inlet 1 at the trailing edge of the blade and ends at the left side of the horizontal part. It is 105mm long and the horizontal length is 256.5mm. Figure 3 shown.

[0032] The included angle of the wedge-shaped channel 7 is 10°, the height of the left side of the blade trailing edge cooling channel inlet 1 is 42.2 mm, and the height of the horizontal part is 10.5 mm.

[0033] In the dimple cooling structure 4 , the height H of each dimple 9 is 3 mm, and the diameter D of the dimple 9 is 8 mm.

[0034] The cross section of the column rib 8 of the column rib cooling structure 3 can be circular, or can be replaced with other geometric shapes (elliptical, teardrop-shaped, etc.), mainly by adding pits 9 in the gaps between the column ribs 8 and arranging them alternately.

[0035] The Nusselt number is used to characterize the strength of convective heat transfer. When the Reynolds number is 2w, 4w, 6w, 8w, and 10w, the surface average Nusselt number of the normal bottom wall is 147.06, 208.21, 265.13, 317.30, and 366.87, respectively. After adding the pit structure, the surface average Nusselt number becomes 168.24, 238.02, 300.80, 357.89, and 409.27, which are increased by 14.4%, 14.3%, 13.5%, 12.8%, and 11.6%, respectively (e.g. Figure 7 The comprehensive heat exchange efficiency increased from the original 79%, 66%, 61%, 58%, 55% to 88%, 71%, 64%, 60%, 56% (as shown). Figure 8 shown).

[0036] The working principle of the internal cooling structure of the gas turbine turbine blade trailing edge with the wedge-shaped turning channel with column ribs and the recessed pit is as follows:

[0037] The column-rib cooling structure 3 enhances heat transfer by increasing the heat exchange area and increasing the turbulent energy of the cooling airflow. The presence of the column-rib cooling structure 3 at the trailing edge increases airflow disturbance, forming a trailing-edge vortex. This helps accelerate the separation of the boundary layer on the turbine blade's internal wall, further improving heat transfer efficiency.

[0038] The dimple cooling structure 4 enhances local heat transfer by generating eddies on the wall surface. The combined rib cooling structure 3 and dimple cooling structure 4 leverage the respective advantages of the ribs and dimples to achieve more efficient heat exchange. By optimizing flow and heat transfer characteristics, the combined rib cooling structure 3 and dimple cooling structure 4 improves turbine blade cooling efficiency while maintaining low coolant consumption. This combined technology provides an effective cooling strategy for turbine blade design.

These embodiments do not exhaust all details, nor do they limit the present invention to the specific embodiments described. Numerous modifications and variations are possible based on the contents of this specification.
