In response to the continually increasing thermal load caused by the rising gas temperature in the inlet of radial-flow turbines, this paper proposes the use of axial hole air-entraining cooling to cool the turbine shaft and turbo wheel back-disc. The cooling effect of this technique, as well as its influence on the aerodynamic performance of turbines, were investigated through numerical simulations. The results demonstrate that the axial hole air-entraining cooling technique can significantly improve the local cooling efficiency of the turbine back-disc. Under a blowing ratio of 0.25 %, the local cooling efficiency increased by 154 %, and the temperature decreased by up to 233 K. The maximum temperature on the surface of the turbine shaft at the floating bearing location decreased significantly, thus reducing the coking risk of the lubricating oil. When the blowing ratio was within 0.5 %, the impact of this cooling technique on the overall turbine performance was negligible.
