Heat Transfer Enhancement of a Gas Turbine Blade-Tip Wall

The blade-tip region encounters high thermal loads because of the hot gas leakage flows. A common way to cool blade tips is to design serpentine passages with 180 degrees turn with the blade-tip walls inside the turbine blades. Improved internal convective cooling is therefore required to increase blade-tip lifetime. This chapter summarizes the heat transfer enhancement of an internal blade-tip wa
