- nozzle guide vanes can be stationery when they are termed "stator blades'' or may be adjustable in terms of the degree of guiding of air flow presented to the high pressure turbine stage of the engine.
- Some turbine nozzle guide vanes include film cooling flows which are designed to cool either the pressure or the suction side of the aerofoil surfaces of the guide vane.
- Film cooling comprises releasing through a plurality of holes appropriately distributed upon the guide vane surface a flow of cooling air such that a "film" of such cooling air passes over the vane surface in order to cool that vane.
- the path of the air flows depends upon a leading edge stagnation point upon the aerofoil surface. The location of the leading edge stagnation point splits the main stream flow.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a typical nozzle guide vane and turbine blade cooling arrangement 1.
- the nozzle vanes 2 are arranged whereby high pressure cooling air emitted from apertures flows over the aerofoil surfaces 3 in order to cool that vane 2.
- Turbine blades 4 are also cooled by flows through such apertures.
- a leading edge stagnation point spits the air flow presented to the vanes 2 in the direction of arrowhead A either side of the vane 2.
- Prior Art 1 illustrates a plan cross-section of a conventional high pressure nozzle guide vane 12.
- air flow in the direction of arrowhead AA is split about a stagnation point 10 or stagnation line in three dimensions.
- the position of the stagnation point 10 is sufficiently well understood to enable the coolant apertures 11 described previously with regard to Fig. 1 to ensure appropriate film cooling of the vane 2.
- the stagnation point is well understood as a high pressure nozzle guide vane is subject to relatively small variation in the inlet swirl angle of the flow AA.
- High pressure nozzle guide vanes are generally insensitive to such variations in the inlet swirl angle.
- the air flow AA is "lifted'' or guided by a pressure surface 13 to a desired direction.
- inlet swirl around the annulus upon which the vanes are mounted will depend upon the ratio of combustion burners to nozzle guide vanes as well as burner settings at reduced power configurations. Variations in inlet angle to the nozzle guide vanes 12 will affect the leading edge stagnation point 10 and so the air flow from the apertures 11 in order to provide film cool about the vane.
- Fig. Prior Art 1 illustrates a typical high pressure nozzle guide vane in schematic plan cross-section. It will be noted from Fig. 1 that the nozzle guide vanes 2 in the arrangement are set at an angle to the air flow A. If the number of aerofoils which create the nozzle guide vane arrangement is reduced and the chord CAX is fixed then a high lift design of nozzle guide vane is required.
- FIG. Prior Art 2 a possible schematic plan cross-section of a high lift nozzle guide vane 22 is illustrated.
- an air flow BB is again presented to the vane 22 such that the flow is diverted over the vane 22 as illustrated by the arrowheads.

- an aerofoil vane 22 as depicted in Fig. Prior Art 2 is susceptible to large displacements in leading edge stagnation point 20 position upon the vane 22 due to the relatively flat incident surface 21 upon which the air flow BB is presented.
- Variations in the inlet swirl angle of this flow BB will create movement of the stagnation point 20 up and down upon this surface 21. Variations in the leading edge stagnation point 20 render it more likely that the film cooling provided through high pressure cooling air flows from the apertures 24 will not follow the intended path upon the surface 21 or a suction surface 23 and so result in potentially unacceptably high operating temperatures or thermal cycling. Unsteady losses may also be increased due to the stagnation point movements leading to a loss of efficiency.
- a guide vane for an engine comprising a surface towards which an air flow is directed in use, the surface being curved with a leading edge bulge ridge to limit the proportion of surface in a flat presentation aspect to the air flow in use and so limit in use possible stagnation point positions for that flow upon the aerofoil.
- the bulge ridge is located substantially centrally upon the surface of the vane.
- the bulge ridge is positioned off-centre.
- the curves either side of the bulge ridge are differently shaped.
- one curve is substantially flat whilst the other slope is curved.

- the part of aerofoil which within the pressure surface 32 is formed also incorporates a bulge ridge 37 from which extend slopes 32a, 32b.
- the bulge ridge 37 provides a limited top surface which may be perpendicular to the presented air flow C.
- the slopes 32a, 32b either side of the bulge ridge 37 are curved as presented to the air flow C and so the air flow C is generally deflected.
- the bulge ridge 37 and a limited margin either side of that ridge 37 constitute the potential range of positions for the stagnation point 30.
- the position of the stagnation point 30 is well defined and stable such that there is a predictability which allows appropriate positioning of the apertures 34 in order to achieve film cooling as require.
- a deviation in the air flow C in accordance with the primary function of a nozzle guide vane is still achieved principally by the lower slope 32b and more fundamentally by the suction side 33 which is substantially the same as the suction sides 14, 23 of previous vanes described with regard to Fig. Prior Art 1 and Fig. Prior Art 2.
- the vane 31 described in Fig. 2 has an increased cross-sectional area in coolant air supply channels 35 which allows an improved cooling air pressure to be presented through the apertures 34 for film cooling efficiency.

Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to turbine blades and more particularly but not exclusively to turbine blades used as nozzle guide vanes for a high pressure turbine stage of an engine.
- High thermal efficiency is dependent upon high turbine engine temperatures which in turn are limited by turbine blade and nozzle guide vane materials. These nozzle guide vanes can be stationery when they are termed "stator blades'' or may be adjustable in terms of the degree of guiding of air flow presented to the high pressure turbine stage of the engine.
- Some turbine nozzle guide vanes include film cooling flows which are designed to cool either the pressure or the suction side of the aerofoil surfaces of the guide vane. Film cooling comprises releasing through a plurality of holes appropriately distributed upon the guide vane surface a flow of cooling air such that a "film" of such cooling air passes over the vane surface in order to cool that vane. The path of the air flows depends upon a leading edge stagnation point upon the aerofoil surface. The location of the leading edge stagnation point splits the main stream flow.
- Attached drawing Fig. 1 illustrates a typical nozzle guide vane and turbine
blade cooling arrangement 1. Thus, it can be seen that thenozzle vanes 2 are arranged whereby high pressure cooling air emitted from apertures flows over theaerofoil surfaces 3 in order to cool thatvane 2.Turbine blades 4 are also cooled by flows through such apertures. As indicated above, a leading edge stagnation point spits the air flow presented to thevanes 2 in the direction of arrowhead A either side of thevane 2. - Attached drawing
Prior Art 1 illustrates a plan cross-section of a conventional high pressurenozzle guide vane 12. Thus, as can be seen air flow in the direction of arrowhead AA is split about astagnation point 10 or stagnation line in three dimensions. The position of thestagnation point 10 is sufficiently well understood to enable thecoolant apertures 11 described previously with regard to Fig. 1 to ensure appropriate film cooling of thevane 2. Generally, the stagnation point is well understood as a high pressure nozzle guide vane is subject to relatively small variation in the inlet swirl angle of the flow AA. High pressure nozzle guide vanes are generally insensitive to such variations in the inlet swirl angle. The air flow AA is "lifted'' or guided by apressure surface 13 to a desired direction. - Unfortunately, there are situations where there are significant inlet distortions to the presented air flow AA which produce a significant variation in the inlet flow angle, both circumferentially and radially. Such problems with variation in the inlet swirl angle are exacerbated when the inlet distortions and the aerofoils of the guide vanes are in the same frame of reference whether stationery or rotary. For example, such inlet distortions and inlet swirl angle variations can vary widely dependent upon the combustion system design of an engine incorporating a nozzle guide vane. In short, the angle of air flow AA presentation to the
nozzle guide vane 12 alters thestagnation point 10 position and therefore the most appropriate distribution ofapertures 11 in order to provide film cooling about aerofoil surfaces of thatvane 12. The variation of inlet swirl around the annulus upon which the vanes are mounted will depend upon the ratio of combustion burners to nozzle guide vanes as well as burner settings at reduced power configurations. Variations in inlet angle to thenozzle guide vanes 12 will affect the leadingedge stagnation point 10 and so the air flow from theapertures 11 in order to provide film cool about the vane. - As indicated above, Fig.
Prior Art 1 illustrates a typical high pressure nozzle guide vane in schematic plan cross-section. It will be noted from Fig. 1 that the nozzle guide vanes 2 in the arrangement are set at an angle to the air flow A. If the number of aerofoils which create the nozzle guide vane arrangement is reduced and the chord CAX is fixed then a high lift design of nozzle guide vane is required. - In attached Fig. Prior Art 2 a possible schematic plan cross-section of a high lift nozzle guide vane 22 is illustrated. Thus, an air flow BB is again presented to the
vane 22 such that the flow is diverted over thevane 22 as illustrated by the arrowheads.Apertures 24 are again provided within thevane 22 from which high pressure cooling air emanates in order to provide film cooling of the aerofoil surfaces of thevane 22. Of particular concern with respect to the present invention is that anaerofoil vane 22 as depicted in Fig.Prior Art 2 is susceptible to large displacements in leadingedge stagnation point 20 position upon thevane 22 due to the relativelyflat incident surface 21 upon which the air flow BB is presented. Variations in the inlet swirl angle of this flow BB will create movement of thestagnation point 20 up and down upon thissurface 21. Variations in the leadingedge stagnation point 20 render it more likely that the film cooling provided through high pressure cooling air flows from theapertures 24 will not follow the intended path upon thesurface 21 or asuction surface 23 and so result in potentially unacceptably high operating temperatures or thermal cycling. Unsteady losses may also be increased due to the stagnation point movements leading to a loss of efficiency. - In accordance with the present invention there is provided a guide vane for an engine comprising a surface towards which an air flow is directed in use, the surface being curved with a leading edge bulge ridge to limit the proportion of surface in a flat presentation aspect to the air flow in use and so limit in use possible stagnation point positions for that flow upon the aerofoil.
- Typically, the bulge ridge is located substantially centrally upon the surface of the vane.
- Preferably, the bulge ridge is positioned off-centre. Possibly, the curves either side of the bulge ridge are differently shaped. Possibly, one curve is substantially flat whilst the other slope is curved.
- Possibly, one slope upon the surface develops into an early suction side for the vane due to its shape and/or position relative to the bulge ridge.
- Also in accordance with the present invention there is provided a nozzle guide vane assembly for a turbine engine incorporating a plurality of vanes as described above.
- Further in accordance with the present invention there is provided an engine incorporating a nozzle guide vane assembly or nozzle guide vane as described above.
- An embodiment of the present invention will be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings and in particular Fig. 2 schematically illustrating a plan cross-section of a vane in accordance with the present invention.
- Referring to Fig. 3 which illustrates a
vane 31 in accordance with the present invention. Thus, thevane 31 incorporates a pressure side 32 and asuction side 33 with an air flow C presented to the aerofoil. The aerofoil incorporatesapertures 34 through which cooling air is released fromsupply channels 35. As can be seen from the flow stream lines marked with arrowheads the air flow C impinges or strikes upon the aerofoil such that there is astagnation point 30 where the air flow C is substantially perpendicularly presented to the aerofoil. Air flows either side of thestagnation point 30 pass about and over the pressure side 32 and around a leadingedge 36 onto thesuction side 33. - At the
stagnation point 30 as indicated previously, the forward air flow C is presented to the aerofoil and "rebounds" to create stagnate ion through interaction with the forward flow. In such circumstances, it will be appreciated that thestagnation point 30 is a drag upon air flow. However, if thestagnation point 30 position is predictable and stable it will be appreciated by appropriate positioning of the apertures 32 adequate cooling by film overflow upon the pressure surface 32 andsuction surface 33 can still be achieved.Previous vanes Prior Art 1 and Fig.Prior Art 2 are not specifically configured in order to achieve a stable stagnation point position. In Fig.Prior Art 1 as indicated anacceptable stagnation position 10 is determined but only by providing a relatively low lift aerofoil design. With higher lift aerofoil designs as described with regard tovane 22 in Fig.Prior Art 2 the increasedflat pressure surface 21 causes migration of thestagnation point 20 around the aerofoil such that specific distribution of the apertures in order to maintain cooling despite the effects ofstagnation point 20 movement cannot be achieved as one position of the stagnation point requires one distribution of apertures whilst other positions will require different positions of the apertures. - In accordance with the present invention as depicted in Fig. 2 the part of aerofoil which within the pressure surface 32 is formed also incorporates a bulge ridge 37 from which extend
slopes slopes stagnation point 30. In short, the position of thestagnation point 30 is well defined and stable such that there is a predictability which allows appropriate positioning of theapertures 34 in order to achieve film cooling as require. Normally, a deviation in the air flow C in accordance with the primary function of a nozzle guide vane is still achieved principally by thelower slope 32b and more fundamentally by thesuction side 33 which is substantially the same as thesuction sides Prior Art 1 and Fig.Prior Art 2. - It will be noted that in comparison with the
previous vanes vane 31 described in Fig. 2 has an increased cross-sectional area in coolantair supply channels 35 which allows an improved cooling air pressure to be presented through theapertures 34 for film cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the increased boxed shape of thevane 31 will improve mechanical strength and stiffness of thevane 31. - Returning to Fig. 1 illustrating a typical nozzle guide vane and turbine
blade cooling arrangement 1 for a turbine engine. It will be noted that thevanes 2 are mounted such that they are angularly presented to the air flow A. This axial chord spacing CAX will typically be fixed as described previously such that if it is desired to reduce the number of vanes and aerofoils in a nozzle guide vane arrangement it is necessary for each vane to create more lift in the presented air flow A. As indicated previously, it is when attempting to achieve this greater lift that particular difficulties occur with regard to stagnation point predictability and stability. Nevertheless, in accordance with the present invention the bulge ridge 37 is defined as a forward part of the pressure surface 32 such that dottedline 38 constitutes the notional front edge of the nozzle guide vane surface presented to the air flow. Thus, the expected inlet flow angle will be towards that nominal front edge (broken line 38) and theslopes stagnation point 30 will remain substantially about the top of the bulge ridge 37. - Whilst endeavouring in the foregoing specification to draw attention to those features of the invention believed to be of particular importance it should be understood that the Applicant claims protection in respect of any patentable feature or combination of features hereinbefore referred to and/or shown in the drawings whether or not particular emphasis has been placed thereon.
