Effects of Freestream Turbulence, Turbulence Length Scale, and Reynolds Number on Turbine Blade Heat Transfer in a Transonic Cascade

This paper experimentally investigates the effect of high freestream turbulence intensity, turbulence length scale, and exit Reynolds number on the surface heat transfer distribution of a turbine blade at realistic engine Mach numbers. Passive turbulence grids were used to generate freestream turbu...
