Abstract: Coal ash deposition was numerically modeled on a GEE3 high pressure turbine vane passage. A model was developed, in conjunction with FLUENTâ„¢ software, to track individual particles through the turbine passage. Two sticking ...

Abstract: An accelerated deposition test facility was operated with four different coal ash species to study the effect of ash composition on deposition rate and spatial distribution. The facility seeds a combusting (natural gas) ...

Abstract: The optimization of the turbine rotor tip geometry remains a vital opportunity to create more efficient and durable engines. Balancing the aerodynamic and thermal aspects, while maintaining the mechanical integrity, is key ...
