Evolution of Turbine Blade Deposits in an Accelerated Deposition Facility: Roughness and Thermal Analysis

During the operation of a gas turbine, ingested contaminants present in the air form deposits on the surfaces of the turbine blades. These deposits grow over time, resulting in an increasingly rough surface. This gradual increase in roughness results in several negative consequences, among which is...
