Investigated are spatially resolved distributions of surface adiabatic film cooling effectiveness and surface heat transfer coefficients for a transonic turbine blade tip, with a unique and innovative film cooling arrangement, wherein a single row of five film cooling holes, located on the pressure side of the blade very near to the blade tip, provides thermal protection to the blade tip. The blade tip contains a squealer rim, and a squealer recess region. The present tip gap magnitude is 1.2% of the true blade span. When blade upper pressure side data are considered, heat transfer coefficient ratio variations are due, in part, to a horseshoe-shaped vortex structure, which forms around each film cooling jet, and then advects downstream. Spatially resolved distributions of surface adiabatic film cooling effectiveness show that the coolant advects to the upper edge of the blade pressure surface, along the pressure side rim, over the squealer recess region, and then sometimes collects in a substantial manner along portions of the suction side rim. As a result, local effectiveness values are generally higher on the suction side rim relative to pressure side rim values when compared at a particular value of blowing ratio.
