Abstract: A computational study was performed to determine the factors that affect ash deposition rates on the endwalls in a nozzle guide vane passage. Deposition tests were simulated in flow around a flat plate with a cylindrical ...

Abstract: The effect of hot streaks on deposition in a high pressure turbine vane passage was studied both experimentally and computationally. Modifications to Ohio State's Turbine Reaction Flow Rig allowed for the creation of ...

Abstract: The structural and aerodynamic performance of a low aspect ratio SiC/SiC ceramic matrix composite (CMC) high pressure turbine (HPT) blade was determined. The application was a NASA notional single aisle aircraft engine to ...
