.... However, the strip fins are considered better designs in terms of thermal performance. For the gas turbine designers aim at developing an improved internal cooling feature, this work demonstrates the great potential of the strip fins as a novel and effective cooling design compared with the conventional...

...Chao-Cheng Shiau; Andrew F. Chen; Je-Chin Han; Robert Krewinkel A realistic internal cooling system of a turbine blade includes both ribs and pin-fins inside the passages to enhance the heat transfer. However, the majority studies in the open literature assessing the heat transfer characteristics...

... that are mainly applicable in the mainbody and trailing edge section of turbine airfoil. Potential internal cooling designs for near-term applications based on current manufacturing capabilities are identified. A literature survey focusing primarily on the past four to five years has also been performed...
