Effect of rotation on turbine blade internal cooling is an important factor in gas turbine cooling systems. To obtain the distribution of the heat transfer and the flow field in a rotating cooling channel, a series of computational simulations using the realizable k-ε model are utilized. The channel Reynolds number based on the channel diameter is 25000. The rotation number ranges from 0 to 0.20. The investigated density ratio Δρ/ρ ranges from 0.05 to 0.33 and the range of radius-to-passage hydraulic diameter r/D is from 10 to 40. The results show that the heat transfer on the trailing side shows an overall augmentation while that on the leading side decreases in the cooling channel. When the channel is stationary, the density ratio has little effect on the thermal performance. And for the rotating channel, the heat transfer on the trailing side and leading side both increases when the density ratio increases. The heat transfer both on the trailing side and leading side decreases when the radius-to-passage hydraulic diameter (r/D) increase. And the radius has a greater effect when the rotation number is higher.
