Abstract: Physics-based particle rebound models are essential for the accurate tracking of particles in aero engines. Current models are often informed by analysis of spherical particle impact, but particles ingested in engines ...

Abstract: The ingestion of multi-mineral dusts by gas turbine engines during routine operations is a significant problem for engine manufacturers because of the damage caused to engine components and their protective thermal barrier ...

Abstract: Abstract. The characterization and quantification of runway foreign object ingestion (FOI) at the end of the landing run with a variable pitch fan (VPF) in reverse thrust mode are described in this work. This is achieved ...

Abstract: Volcanic ash (VA) clouds in flight corridors present a significant threat to aircraft operations as VA particles can cause damage to gas turbine engine components that lead to a reduction of engine performance and compromise ...
