This paper investigates the effects of inlet turbulence conditions and near-wall treatment methods on the heat transfer prediction of gas turbine vanes within the range of engine relevant turbulence conditions. The two near-wall treatment methods, the wall-function and low-Reynolds number method, were combined with the SST and ${\omega}RSM$ turbulence model. Additionally, the RNG $k-{\varepsilon}$, SSG RSM, and $SST_+{\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ transition model were adopted for the purpose of comparison. All computations were conducted using a commercial CFD code, CFX, considering a three-dimensional, steady, compressible flow. The conjugate heat transfer method was applied to all simulation cases with internally cooled NASA turbine vanes. The CFD results at mid-span were compared with the measured data under different inlet turbulence conditions. In the SST solutions, on the pressure side, both the wall-function and low-Reynolds number method exhibited a reasonable agreement with the measured data. On the suction side, however, both wall-function and low-Reynolds number method failed to predict the variations of heat transfer coefficient and temperature caused by boundary layer flow transition. In the ${\omega}RSM$ results, the wall-function showed reasonable predictions for both the heat transfer coefficient and temperature variations including flow transition onset on suction side, but, low-Reynolds methods did not properly capture the variation of the heat transfer coefficient. The $SST_+{\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ transition model showed variation of the heat transfer coefficient on the transition regions, but did not capture the proper transition onset location, and was found to be much more sensitive to the inlet turbulence length scale. Overall, the Reynolds stress model and wall function configuration showed the reasonable predictions in presented cases.

과팽창 상태의 로켓 노즐에서 발생하는 충격파 경계층 간섭 형태는 엔진 시동 및 정지과정 중 예기치 않은 횡력을 수반한다. 본 연구에서는 비정상 노즐 구동 압력비 변화가 유동장의 천이형태 및 횡력 특성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 조사하기 위하여 수치해석적 연구를 수행하였다. 비정상, 축대칭, 압축성 N-S 방정식을 유한 체적법으로 이산화 하였으며, 난류모델은 SST k-${\omega}$을 적용하였다. 엔진 정지 및 시동과정을 모사하기 위하여, NPR은 2~10의 범위에서 계산 하였다. 본 연구의 결과로 박리 유동과 히스테리시스 현상은 구동 압력비에 크게 의존하며, 또한 압력비 변동 시간이 횡력 특성에 지대한 영향을 미칠 수 있음을 알았다.
