Thermo-fluid simulation of a rotating disc with radial cooling passages / Francois Holtzhausen

Turbine blade cooling via internal cooling channels is a very important aspect in modern-day gas turbine cycles. The need for blade cooling stems from the fact that higher cycle efficiencies requires higher maximum temperatures and therefore also higher turbine inlet temperatures. In order to evalua...
