Abstract	An experimental study has been performed to investigate the effect of squealer cavity depth on the detailed distribution of convective heat transfer coefficients of a turbine blade tip surface. This paper presents full surface information on heat transfer coefficients within a blade cascade which develops an appropriate pressure distribution about an airfoil blade tip and shroud model. A stationary blade cascade experiment has been run consisting of three airfoils, the center airfoil having a variable tip gap clearance. The airfoil models the aerodynamic tip section of a high pressure turbine blade with inlet Mach number of 0.21, exit Mach number of 0.74, pressure ratio of 1.41, Reynolds number of 2.8•106, and total turning of about 100 degrees. The cascade inlet turbulence intensity level is 9%. Tip surface heat transfer coefficient distributions are first shown for a flat, square-edge tip with a clearance gap of 2.03 mm. Heat transfer distributions are then shown for full-perimeter squealer tip cavities having the same clearance gap above the squealer rim, and clearance-to-cavity depth ratios from 0.67 to 2. Regionally averaged heat transfer coefficients are analyzed to discern a relationship between tip heat transfer and cavity depth. Further tests demonstrate the effect of partial squealer rim oxidation, or material loss, on the surface heat transfer distributions.
