Abstract: High reliability requirements of aircraft gas turbine mainshaft ball bearings necessitate reliable methods for estimating fatigue lives in the early failure region of the life dispersion. Economical ...

Abstract: A primitive variable formulation is used for the solution of the incompressible Euler equation. In particular, the pressure Poisson equation approach using a nonstaggered grid is considered. In ...

Abstract: Incompressible, blade-to-blade (SI surface) flow solutions for stators and rotors of turbomachines are obtained utilizing an approach which combines the equations of motion into a single elliptic, ...

Abstract: This study reports the atomization behavior of coal-water slurries (CWS) at conditions typical of a gas turbine combustor. Slurry atomization characteristics were determined for a plain-jet airblast ...
