In the present work, heat transfer within gas turbine applications are investigated bothexperimentally and numerically. The main content concerns heat transfer and fluidflow over the pocket region and cooling of a turbine blade.A pocket cavity is generated at the junction part of the low pressure turbine (LPT) andthe outlet guide vane (OGV) in the rear part of a gas turbine engine. The heat transf
