Abstract Numerical and experimental investigations are conducted to study the jet characteristics on the pressure side of a film-cooled turbine guide vane. CFD simulations, including both the steady RANS turbulence model, $$k-\omega $$ shear stress transport (SST), as well as the hybrid approach, Scale-Adaptive Simulation (SAS), are utilized to comprehend the turbulent flow structures and the vortex dynamics associated to the film cooling jet. For this purpose the commercial CFD code FLUENT has been utilized to study flow with injection of coolant through fan-shaped holes for two blowing ratios (0.6 and 1.2). Although, both turbulence models predict the vortical structures and jet dynamics similarly, the findings suggest that by resolving large energy containing vortices, the SAS model can improve the modeling of mixing properties and thereby approximation of the surface temperature.
