13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)

Three airfoil data sets were selected from the literature for use in evaluating currently available analytical models for
predicting airfoil surface heat transfer distributions in a 2-D flow field. Two additional airfoils, representative of highly
loaded, low solidity airfoils currently being designed, were selected for cascade testing at simulated engine conditions.
These data sets provide a data base covering a wide range of operating conditions and geometries and thus present a
significant test for the predictive capabilities of the analytical models. A number of 2-D analytical methods were
initially examined and the one selected for modification was a version of the STAN5 boundary layer code. The final
form of the method utilized a recently developed time dependent, transonic inviscid cascade code coupled to a modified
version of the STAN5 boundary layer code featuring zero order turbulence modeling. The boundary layer code is
structured to accommodate a full spectrum of empirical correlations addressing the coupled influences of pressure
gradient, airfoil curvature, and free-stream turbulence on airfoil surface heat transfer distribution and boundary layer
transitional behavior. Comparison of predictions made with the model to the data base indicates a significant
improvement in predictive capability.
