The adiabatic, steady-state liquid crystal technique was used to measure surface adiabatic film cooling effectiveness values in the near-hole region A parametric study was conducted for a single row of short holes fed by a narrow plenum Film cooling effectiveness values are presented and compared for various ratios (0.66 to 3.0), three different blowing ratios (0.5, 1.0, and 1.5), two different plenum feed configurations (co-flow and counterflow), and two different injection angles (35 and 90 deg). Injection hole geometry and plenum feed direction were found to affect short hole film cooling performance significantly. Under certain conditions, similar or improved coverage was achieved with 90 deg holes compared with 35 deg holes. This result has important implications for manufacturing of thin-walled film-cooled blades or vanes. [S0889-504X(00)00603-6]
