In many industrial applications, the mechanical integrity of a surface operating under large
thermal loads is ensured by injecting a cold fluid through a series of hole along the surface …

In the film cooling technique, cold fluid exiting from holes on the surface of the turbine
creates a protective film which prevents the ruin of the solid material composing the blades …

In this study, a shaped hole optimization approach based on Large Eddy Simulations and
Efficient Global Optimization (EGO) is presented. The shape of a fan-shaped hole used for …

Film cooling is a common technique to manage turbine blade thermal environment. The
geometry of the holes which are used to generate the cooling film is known to play a very …
