To design more efficient film cooling geometries for gas turbines, non-intrusive measurements of the flow temperature, velocity and derived quantities like turbulent heat flux are needed in well-defined, generic configurations. With this aim we have applied thermographic particle image velocimetry (thermographic PIV) to investigate emanating from angled trenched holes a closed-loop optically-accessible wind tunnel facility. BAM:Eu2+ phosphor particles were seeded into as tracer. A pulsed...
