Numerical simulation on conjugate heat transfer of turbine cascade

Numerical simulation on conjugate heat transfer of an internal cooled turbine vane was carried out.Numerical techniques employed included the third-order accuracy TVD scheme, multi-block structured grids and the technique of arbitrary curved mesh. Comparison between results of commercial CFD codes with several turbulence models and those of this code shows that it is incorrect of commercial CFD codes to predict the ther-mal boundary layer with traditional turbulence models, and that turbulence models considering transition lead to more accurate heat transfer in thermal boundary layer with some reliability and deficiency yet. The results of this code are close to those of CFX with transition model.
