Abstract: Based on the previous benchmark studies on combustion, scalar transfer, and radiation models, a critical evaluation of turbulence models in a propaneair diffusion flame combustor with interior and exterior conjugate heat ...

Abstract: To understand the physics of volcanic ash impact on gas turbine hot-components and develop much-needed tools for engine design and fleet management, the behaviors of volcanic ash in a gas turbine combustor and nozzle guide ...

Abstract: Nozzle guide vanes (NGV) of gas turbine engines are the first components to withstand the impingement of hot combustion gas and therefore often suffer thermal fatigue failures in service. A lifting analysis is performed ...
