In this paper, the experimental study was carried to investigate the effect of angle of the anti-vortex holes on the film cooling effectiveness on a flat plate. The pressure sensitive paint technique was applied to measure the film cooling effectiveness. Two anti-vortex hole angles of $0^{\circ}$ and $15^{\circ}$ with respect to the primary hole were considered, and the simple cylindrical hole case was also tested. The blowing ratio based on the cylindrical hole was 0.5 and the same flow rate was kept for all anti-vortex hole cases. Results showed that the film cooling effectiveness for the anti-vortex hole cases were much higher than that of the cylindrical case. Among the anti-vortex hole cases, $15^{\circ}$ angle anti-vortex hole case showed higher film cooling effectiveness than that by the $0^{\circ}$ angle anti-vortex hole case.

In this paper, the effects of the anti-vortex hole angle and blowing ratio on the flat plate film cooling effectiveness were experimentally investigated. For the film cooling effectiveness measurement, pressure sensitive paint technique was applied. The experiments were conducted for cylindrical and anti-vortex film cooling holes, and three blowing ratios of 0.25, 0.5, and 1.0 were tested. Two anti-vortex hole angles of 0 and 15 degree with respect to the flow direction were considered. For the cylindrical hole case, the film cooling effectiveness decreased as the blowing ratio increased because of the coolant lift-off. For the angle anti-vortex hole cases, however, higher blowing ratio resulted in higher film cooling effectiveness due to the reduced actual blowing ratio and diminished kidney vortex. For all blowing ratio, the angled anti-vortex hole case showed the highest film cooling effectiveness.

A parametric study on anti-vortex holes for turbine blade cooling was investigated numerically. Three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations and shear stress transport turbulence model were used for analysis of anti-vortex film cooling. Validation of numerical results was carried out comparing with experimental data. The cooling performance of anti-vortex holes was assessed by two geometric variables, the ratio of diameters of holes and the lateral distances between the primary hole and anti-vortex hole at blowing ratios of 0.5 and 1.0. The results showed that the spatially-averaged film-cooling effectiveness increases as the ratio of the diameters increases and the distance between the primary hole and anti-vortex hole decreases.

The various film cooling hole shapes have been proposed for effective external cooling of gas turbine blade. In this study, the film cooling effectiveness by three different hole shapes (cylindrical hole, $15^{\circ}$ angle anti-vortex hole, 30-7-7 fan-shaped hole) were examined experimentally. Pressure Sensitive Paint (PSP) technique was used to measure the film cooling effectiveness. The coolant to mainstream density ratio was 1.0 and three blowing ratios of 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 were considered. Results clearly showed that the effect of hole shape on the distribution of film cooling effectiveness. For the cylindrical hole case, the film cooling effectiveness decreased remarkably as the blowing ratio increased due to the jet lift off. Because of large hole exit area and low coolant momentum, the 30-7-7 fan-shaped hole case showed the highest film cooling effectiveness at all blowing ratio, followed by the anti-vortex hole case.

The kidney vortex is the important factor adversely influencing film cooling effectiveness. In general, double jet film-cooling hole is designed to overcome the kidney vortex by generating anti-kidney vortices. In this study, the film cooling characteristics and the effectiveness of the double jet film cooling hole were numerically investigated with various area ratios of the first($A_1$) and second($A_2$) cooling hole($A_1/A_2$=0.8, 1.0, 1.25) and lateral ejection angle(${\alpha}$ = $30^{\circ}$, $45^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$) as the design parameters. The effects of lateral distance between the first and second row holes are investigated. Numerical study was performed by using ANSYS CFX with the shear stress transport(SST) turbulence model. The film cooling effectiveness and temperature distribution were graphically depicted with various flow and geometrical conditions.

The influence of the battle damage hole on the velocity and vorticity flow field have been studied by using particle image velocimetry. Time averaged velocity and vorticity vector fields in the vicinity of jet are presented. The perforated damage hole on a wing created from a hit by anti-air artillery was modeled as a 10% chord size hole which positioned at quarter chord. At low angles of attack, the vorticity in the forward side of the jet is cancelled due to mixing with the wing surface boundary layer. Stretching of vorticity in the backside of the jet generates a semi-cylindrical vortical layer that enclosing a domain with slow moving reverse flow. Conversely, at higher the angles of attack, the jet vorticity advected away from the wing surface and remains mostly confined to the jet. The mean flow behind the jet has a wake-like structure.
