Modeling of Particle Trajectory and Erosion of Large Rotor Blades

When operating in hostile environments, engines components are facing a serious problem of erosion, leading to a drastic drop in aerodynamic performance and life-cycle. This paper outlines the modeling and simulation of particle trajectory and erosion induced by sand particles. The governing equatio...
