Abstract: Aircraft engines operating in areas where the atmosphere is polluted by small solid particles are typical examples of jet engines operating under hostile atmospheric environment. The particles ...

Abstract: The objective of this paper is to review experimental and analytical investigations concerning the effect of the presence of solid particles on the performance of turbomachines. Experimental data ...

Abstract: Turbomachines are subject to an excessive rate of erosion when operated in dusty environments or exposed to combustion gases of newly developed synthetic fuels or heavy oils. The surface quality ...

Abstract: Gas turbine engines operating in dusty environments are exposed to erosion and performance deterioration. In order to improve the erosion resistance, nickel and cobalt superalloy blades and vanes ...

Abstract: Gas turbine engines operating in dusty environments are exposed to erosion and performance deterioration. In order to provide the basis for calculating the erosion and performance deterioration ...

Abstract: Gas turbine engines operating in areas where the atmosphere is polluted by small solid particles are examples of machines operating under particulate two-phase flow conditions. The presence of ...

Abstract: This paper presents the results of an investigation of the particle dynamics and the resulting blade erosion in radial inflow turbine rotors. In order to determine the influence of the ...

Abstract: The results of an investigation of the particle dynamics and the blade erosion at the impact locations in radial turbine guide vanes are presented. Attention is focused in particular on the ...
