Experimental Investigation of Initial Onset of Sand Deposition in the Turbine Section of Gas Turbines

Particle ingestion and deposition is an issue of concern for gas turbine engines operating in harsh environments. The ingested particles accelerate the deterioration of engine components and thus reduce its service life. This effect is observed to a greater extent in aircrafts/helicopters operating...
