Modeling of the Heat Flux for Multi-Hole Cooling Applications

The aims of this work are to achieve a better understanding of thermal fluxes around a multi-perforated plate and obtain correlations for heat transfer coefficient on the hot as well as cold side and in a perforation. A 3-dimensional, RANS, conjugate simulation and an adiabatic one are performed for different aerothermal conditions already studied experimentally. Convective heat flux, wall temperature and adiabatic temperature are averaged on a periodic pattern around each hole. A mean heat transfer coefficient is calculated based on these quantities and correlations are deduced for this coefficient. Such results as fluid temperature rise in a perforation or the contribution of flux in the perforations to the whole cooling flux are also given in this article.Copyright © 2011 by ASME
