Calculations are presented demonstrating the effect of placing a delta vortex generator downstream of a film cooling hole. The effects of blowing ratio, density ratio, and spanwise pitch are included in the study. Flow over a flat plate with film cooling holes oriented at a 30 degree angle was investigated. The Reynolds numbers based on the freestream velocity and the hole diameter was 11,300. The simulation was performed using the Glenn-HT code, a full three-dimensional Navier-Stokes solver using the Wilcox k-ω turbulence model. A structured multi-block grid was used with approximately one million cells, and average y+ values on the order of unity. Local and span averaged effectiveness are presented. Analysis and visualization of the flow are presented as well as a discussion on the mechanisms which contribute to the dramatic improvement in effectiveness. The results demonstrate that the delta vortex generator was able to annihilate the up-wash vortex pair produced by the film hole and produce a down-wash pair downstream.
