  • To elucidate the impact mechanism of swirl characteristics at the combustor exit on the film cooling performance of shaped film cooling holes on the pressure surface of high-pressure turbine vanes, particle image velocimetry (PIV) technology was employed in conjunction with numerical simulations to analyze the distribution characteristics of the strong swirl flow field at the combustor exit under a constant mainstream inlet Reynolds number ($ Re $). Subsequently, numerical simulations were conducted to compare and analyze the effects of swirl inflow on the flow characteristics of the pressure surface of curved and twisted turbine vanes and the film cooling characteristics of single-row cylindrical holes, fan-shaped holes, laid-back holes, and laid-back fan-shaped holes. The results indicated that strong swirl intake induced a significant radial pressure gradient on the pressure surface, causing the film cooling trajectories to radially deflect and converge to localized areas. This led to decreased cooling efficiency and increased non-uniformity of the cooling distribution. When the mainstream inlet $ Re $ remained constant, increasing the blowing ratio (M) can effectively enhance the film cooling efficiency (η) of all hole types under strong swirl conditions, but it cannot effectively mitigate the film offset caused by the swirl. Notably, strong swirl intake did not alter the relative performance ranking of the hole types, but fan-shaped holes and laid-back fan-shaped holes still achieved the highest $ \eta $. When M=1.2, the film cooling efficiency of fan-shaped holes and laid-back fan-shaped holes increased by 29.83% and 32.29%, respectively, compared with cylindrical holes.
