    Description: Film cooling is used in a wide variety of engineering applications for protection of surfaces from hot or combusting gases. The design of more efficient thin film cooling geometries/configurations could be facilitated by an ability to accurately model and predict the effectiveness of current designs using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code predictions. Hence, a benchmark set of flow field property data were obtained for use in assessing current CFD capabilities and for development of better turbulence models. Both Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and spontaneous rotational Raman scattering (SRS) spectroscopy were used to acquire high quality, spatially-resolved measurements of the mean velocity, turbulence intensity and also the mean temperature and normalized root mean square (rms) temperatures in a single injector cooling flow arrangement. In addition to flowfield measurements, thermocouple measurements on the plate surface enabled estimates of the film effectiveness. Raman spectra in air were obtained across a matrix of radial and axial locations downstream from a 68.07 mm square nozzle blowing heated air over a range of temperatures and Mach numbers, across a 30.48 cm long plate equipped with a single injector cooling hole. In addition, both centerline streamwise 2-component PIV and cross-stream 3-component Stereo PIV data at 15 axial stations were collected in the same flows. The velocity and temperature data were then compared against Wind-US CFD code predictions for the same flow conditions. The results of this and planned follow-on studies will support NASA's development and assessment of turbulence models for heated flows.

    Description: The effects of the aft rotor on the inter-rotor flow field of an open rotor propulsion rig were examined. A Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) dataset that was acquired phase locked to the front rotor position has been phase averaged based on the relative phase angle between the forward and aft rotors. The aft rotor phase was determined by feature tracking in raw PIV images through an image processing algorithm. The effects of the aft rotor potential field on the inter-rotor flow were analyzed and shown to be in reasonably good agreement with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations. The aft rotor position was shown to have a significant upstream effect, with implications for front rotor interaction noise. It was found that the aft rotor had no substantial effect on the position of the forward rotor tip vortex but did have a small effect on the circulation strength of the vortex when the rotors were highly loaded.

    Description: NASA's Turbulent Heat Flux (THX) task under the Transformational Tools & Technologies project is focused on acquiring benchmark temperature and velocity data in turbulent shear layers for validation of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) codes. Standard CFD turbulence models lack the ability to accurately calculate a number of fundamental flow phenomena, including the turbulent transport of heat. In nearly all production class Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) CFD codes, a gradient-diffusion approximation is used whereby a constant turbulent Prantdl number, Prt, is used to relate an eddy viscosity calculated for the momentum terms, to the turbulent heat flux terms. The default in most CFD codes is Prt = 0.9, however this is not representative of all flows. As discussed in Yoder et al. (2015) and Reynolds (1974), Prt = 0.7 is felt to be more appropriate for jets. Recent work, as discussed in Yoder (2016a), has explored more complex formulations including variable turbulent Prantdl number models.
