In this paper, the effects of impingement and film composite cooling on the design of combustion chamber cooling structure are simulated by numerical simulation. The focus of the investigation was on increased film cooling efficiency and enhanced heat transfer between the coolant and the hole wall. The five-stage shaped hole model and one cylindrical hole design have the same equivalent flow area. The flow and heat transfer characteristics of cylindrical hole and stage-shaped hole were numerically investigated under same blowing ratio, and compared at the same blowing ratio. The results showed the stage-shaped hole resulted in higher cooling effectiveness, especially in rear part, and the mechanisms of which were studied in details. The consequences of the phase parameters in the flow have very clearly dependedt on the internal shape of the corresponding hole. Stage-shaped holes formed impact inside the wall, tapped the coolant potential in cooling, and increased the heat transfer inside the solid wall. Further, stage-shaped hole resulted in unstabilized flow inside hole, gave an enhancement of lateral spreading ability, and brought a significant increase of the film lateral effectiveness. Further, the affection of area ratio and height ratio has been studied by five models. The results show that the increasing of area ratio leads to an increase in cooling efficiency, which also indicates the increasing of height ratio showed slight affection.
