Double-Jet Ejection of Cooling Air for Improved Film Cooling
TL;DR: In this paper, the Double-jet Film-Cooling (DJFC) was introduced as an alternative film cooling technology to conventional film-cooling design, which reached high film cooling effectiveness as a result of a well-designed cooling hole arrangement for interaction of two neighbouring cooling jets.

Conjugate Flow and Heat Transfer Investigation of a Turbo Charger
TL;DR: In this paper, a three-dimensional conjugate calculation has been performed for a passenger car turbo charger, where the heat fluxes in the radial compressor are taken into account for the determination of the efficiency.

Experimental and numerical investigations of the dry-low-NOx hydrogen micromix combustion chamber of an industrial gas turbine
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply and compare different combustion models for the characterization of the micromix flame structure, its interaction with the flow field and its NOx emissions, and reveal great potential for the successful application of numerical flow simulation to predict flame structure and NOx emission level of micromixed hydrogen combustion, help understand the flow phenomena related with the micmmixing, reaction zone and NOix formation and support further optimization of the burner performance.

CFD based exploration of the dry-low-NOx hydrogen micromix combustion technology at increased energy densities
TL;DR: In this article, the influence of different geometry parameter variations on the flame structure and the NO x emission was analyzed and the most relevant design parameters were identified to provide a physical understanding of the micromix flame sensitivity to the burner design and identify further optimization potential of this innovative combustion technology.
