Effect of Rib Turbulator Orientation on the Discharge Coefficient of Suction Hole in the Internal Passage

Measurement of suction holes' discharge coefficients C_d in an internal passage with rib turbulators and suction holes are presented.The internal passage is a rectangular channel with two opposite ribbed walls,the aspect ratio is 0.5,and the rib turbulators are arranged in a staggered way on the two wider walls.The cylindrical suction holes are 45° inclined and perpendicularly oriented,they are placed on one ribbed wall.Tests were run by varying rib tubulators' angles as 45°,60°,90° and 120°,with Reynolds numbers Re changing from 40000 to 80000 and suction ratios (SR) changing from 0.30 to 0.60.Influences of rib tuburlators angles,Reynolds number and suction ratio on Cdare studied. Results indicate:(1) C_dincreases a little along the internal passage;(2) increasing rib turbulator's angle leads to higher C_d,and the maximum C_dis obtained when the rib angle is 120°;(3) varying suction ratio contributes no remarkable effect on changing discharge coefficients;(4) Reynolds number also has no obvious influence on discharge coefficients.
