Trailing-edge mixing flows associated with coolant injection are complex, in particular at transonic flows, and result in significant aerodynamics losses. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the impacts of hole injection near the suction side throat on shock wave control and aerodynamic losses. A series of tests and calculations on effects of hole injection on the suction-side throat of a high-pressure turbine vane cascade with and without trailing-edge injection were conducted. Wake traverses with a five-hole probe and tests of pressure distributions on the turbine profile were taken for total injection mass flow ratios of 0% and 1.2% under test Mach numbers of 0.7, 0.78, and 0.87. Meantime, numerical predictions are carried out for exit isentropic Mach numbers of 0.7, 0.78, 0.87, and 1.1 and hole-injection mass flow ratios of 0%, 0.17%, 0.3%, and 0.89%. Numerical predictions show a reasonable agreement with the experimental data, and wake total pressure losses and flow angles as well as pressure distributions on the turbine profile were compared to calculations without hole injection, indicating a significant effect of hole injection on the profile wake development and its blockage effect on the shock-wave flow in the vane cascade passage. At subsonic flows, the hole injection on the suction side throat thickens the suction-side boundary layer, and increases the flow mixing, thus causing increased wake losses and flow angles. At transonic flows, while the trailing-edge injection reduces the strength of the shock wave at the trailing-edge pressure side, the hole injection on the suction side throat alters the local pressure fields, and then tends to enhance the shock-wave at the trailing-edge pressure-side; however, it seems to reduce the strength of the shock-wave at the trailing-edge suction side.
