Abstract
Heat transfer in passage with pin-fin arrays for cooling blade trailing edge was studied numerically. Three-dimensional numerical simulations were carried out for steady laminar flow in passages with different wedge angles between pressure surface and suction surface of cooling blade trailing edge to study the effect of different wedge angles (from 0° to 30°) on heat transfer and pressure losses. Research was carried out for both in-line array and staggered array. From this investigation, wedge angle 10° gives the best heat transfer performance.
