Abstract: Three-dimensional numerical simulations of the effect of fouling on an axial compressor stage were carried out. As a case study, the NASA Stage 37 was considered for the numerical investigation, ...

Abstract: Gas turbine performance degradation over time is mainly due to the deterioration of compressor and turbine blades, which, in turn, causes a modification of the compressor and turbine performance ...

Abstract: Gas turbine axial compressor performance is heavily influenced by blade fouling. As a result, the gas turbines efficiency and producible power output decrease. Performance degradation of an axial ...
