Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

ICCHMT is an international conference series that is widely recognized and respected in the international scientific community. Professor Abdulmajeed A. Mohamad founded ICCHMT from the University of Calgary, and for nearly 20 years it has taken place in different parts of the world: Magusa, Cyprus (1999); Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2001); Banff, Canada (2003); Paris, France (2005); Canmore, Canada (2007); Guangzhou, China (2009); Istanbul, Turkey (2011 and 2015); Cracow, Poland (2016); Seoul, South Korea (2017); Cracow, Poland (2018); Rome, Italy (2019); Paris, France (2020);  Paris, France (2021); and Rhodes island, Greece (2022); and Düsseldorf, Germany (2023). In 2024, the Conference will be held in Krakow, Poland. The conference topics dedicated to energy topics are as follows:

  • Heat Exchangers/heat pipe;
  • Fluid machinery;
  • Internal flow and heat transfer;
  • Micro/nano heat and mass transfer;
  • Mixing devices and phenomena;
  • Multi-phase flows;
  • Reactive flows and combustion;
  • Steam and gas turbines;
  • Technology for renewable energy sources;
  • Thermal flow visualization;
  • Thermal fluid machinery;
  • Transport phenomena in porous media;
  • Waste management and waste disposal.

Therefore, manuscripts within these research areas are most welcome.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

The use of film cooling is crucial to avoid high metal temperatures in gas turbine applications, thus ensuring a high lifetime for vanes and blades. The complex turbulent mixing process between the coolant and the main flow requires an accurate numerical prediction to correctly estimate the impact of ejection conditions on the cooling performance. Recent developments in numerical models aim at using hybrid approaches that combine high precision with low computational cost. This paper is focused on the numerical simulation of a cylindrical film cooling hole that operates at a unitary blowing ratio, with a hot gas Mach number of Mam = 0.6, while the coolant is characterized by plenum conditions (Mac = 0). The adopted numerical approach is the Stress-Blended Eddy Simulation model (SBES), which is a blend between a Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes approach and a modeled Large Eddy Simulation based on the local flow and mesh characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the ability of the hybrid model to capture the complex mixing between the coolant and the main flow. The cooling performance of the hole is quantified through the film cooling effectiveness, the Net Heat Flux Reduction (NHFR), and the discharge coefficient CD calculation. Numerical results are compared both with the experimental data obtained by the University of Karlsruhe during the EU-funded TATEF2 project and with a Scale Adaptive Simulation (SAS) run on the same computational grid. The use of λ2 profiles extracted from the flow field allows for isolating the main vortical structures such as horseshoe vortices, counter-rotating vortex pairs (e.g., kidney vortices), Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities, and hairpin vortices. Eventually, the contribution of the unsteady phenomena occurring at the hole exit section is quantified through Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) and Spectral Proper Orthogonal Decomposition methods (SPOD).
