Fouling in gas turbines is caused by airborne contaminants which, under certain conditions,
adhere to aerodynamic surfaces upon impact. The growth of solid deposits causes …

Fouling affects gas turbine operation, and airborne or fuel contaminants, under certain
conditions, become very likely to adhere to surfaces if impact takes place. Particle sticking …

Particle deposition on turbine blades poses a significant challenge to the safe operation of
gas turbines. The blockage of film-cooling holes and alteration in the aerodynamic shape of …

Deposition of particles ingested into the hot turbine component of an aircraft engine could
lead to degradation of turbine cooling performance and thus reduces service lifetime. It is …

In order to have a further insight into the dynamic build-up process of particle deposits within
the high-pressure turbine stator of an aeroengine and also into their effects on aerodynamic …

Characteristics of particle migration and deposition were numerically investigated in
presence of aggressive swirl at the turbine inlet. The isolated effects of the inlet swirl were …

External deposition on a slot film cooled nozzle guide vane, subjected to nonuniform inlet
temperatures, was investigated experimentally and computationally. Experiments were …

Ash particle deposition in a high-pressure turbine stage was numerically investigated using
steady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navie …

A new turbine cascade has been constructed that is designed to investigate the performance
of actual nozzle guide vane hardware at temperatures representative of modern gas turbine …

The effects of the hot streak and airfoil clocking on the heat transfer and aerodynamic
characteristics in a high pressure (HP) gas turbine have been investigated in this paper. The …
