Experimental simulation and mitigation of contaminant deposition on film cooled gas turbine airfoils

Deposition of contaminant particles on gas turbine surfaces reduces the aerodynamic and cooling efficiency of the turbine and degrades its materials. Gas turbine designers seek a better understanding of this complicated phenomenon and how to mitigate its effects on engine efficiency and durability....
