Abstract
The object of this thesis was to determine the feasibility of cooling gas turbine blades by introduction of a controlled boundary layer of cool air over the blade surface. This investigation included a static test of a single instrumented turbine blade in a variable high velocity, high temperature gas stream with variable cooling air flow. The configurations of the test blade were used to produce variation in boundary layer control.
