Numerical simulations were carried out to verify the influence of blow ratios on the film cooling effectiveness. With the blow ratio M taking values of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, numerical simulations were carried out on the fluid flows and heat transfers in a cylindrical hole and a fan-shaped hole. By using the realizable k-ε turbulence model with an enhanced wall function, based on the bulk flow control, the three-dimensional steady incompressible N-S equations and the method of SIMPLEC, the mean flow velocity at the exit of the hole and the temperature of the cooled wall were calculated to analyze the film cooling effectiveness. Different blowing ratios were compared on the influence of the film cooling effectiveness. The results indicate that when the blow ratio increases, the jet tends to lift off the wall. Within the scope of this study, in the near field of the hole, for the cylindrical hole, the blow ratio has no obvious effect on the film cooling effectiveness, however, for the fan-shaped hole, the film cooling effectiveness increases with the blow ratio. As the jet goes downstream of the flow direction, for the fan-shaped hole, the jet coverage area increases while for the cylindrical hole, a back-flow is found and the film cooling effectiveness is enhanced around the near downstream field but decreased in the far downstream field. Thus the cooling effectiveness does not change monotonously with the blowing ratio for the cylindrical hole, but for the fan-shaped hole, the film cooling effectiveness increases with the blow ratio.
