Effect of geometrical and flow parameters on high-effectiveness region of film coolingPrevious analyses for an inviscid jet injected into a stream and the turbulent mixing region which forms between jet and stream are used to find the extent of the core region in a cooling film by calculating the growth of the turbulent boundary layer on the downstream wall. The core is a region of nearly perfect effectiveness which ends at the intersection of the boundary layer and the mixing region. The calculations show that the most important geometrical factor bearing on the length of the core is the curvature of the wall. When the radius of curvature is large, the boundary layer remains thin and the core is long. The effects of Reynolds number, total-pressure difference between film and stream, and lateral position of the downstream wall are also investigated. The step configuration is shown to have a longer core than the slot for the same flow conditions.
