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 …

A new model is proposed for predicting particle rebound and deposition in environments
relevant to gas turbine engines. The model includes the following physical phenomena …

Fouling afflicts gas turbine operation from first time application. Filtration systems and
washing operations work against air contaminants in order to limit the particles entering the …

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 …

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 experiments and analysis presented in the following investigation aim to establish a
new model for including temperature effects in the prediction of particle deposition and …

A new model is proposed for predicting particle rebound and deposition in environments
