Aerodynamic Force and Pressure Loss Measurements on Low Aspect Ratio Pin Fin Arrays

The desire to achieve higher heat transfer augmentation for turbine blades is fueled by the increased power output and efficiency that is achievable with high turbine inlet temperatures. The use of internal cooling channels fitted with pin fin arrays serves as one method of accomplishing this goal....
