Abstract: A significant challenge of offering adequate film cooling for gas turbine hot components in practical operation is deposition induced by impurities from the intake air and fuel, which influences the overall cooling performance ...

Abstract: Thermal design for the trailing edge of a turbine vane is critically challenging because the thinnest trailing-edge region has a low-thermal capacity, resulting in a much quicker thermal response to the hot gas. Cooling ...

Abstract: Internal cooling structures for gas turbine engines are becoming more complicated to push the hot gas temperature as high as possible, which, however, allows particulates drawn into the coolant air to be more readily to ...

Abstract: Particulate deposition effects on flow and heat transfer in an internal swirl tube subjected to fly ash ingestion were investigated by constructing an unsteady simulation framework, in which a particle–wall interaction ...
