Erosive particle kinematics in the turbulent combustion boundary layer contacting a solid wall

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5957928
Measurements and numerical modeling are applied to observe and predict the interactive influence of sub-micron gas borne particles in an erosive turbulent combustion wall boundary layer. Some of the experiments and computations discussed are directed to study of turbulent free shear layers. Others ephasize wall boundary layers. The common purpose of all of these studies is to generate information on the particle interaction mechanisms active in alteration and reduction of the turbulent transport and the consequent reduction of the erosive heat and mass transfer. Primary emphasis here is given to analysis of erosive two phase wall boundary layers encountered in solid propellant combustion situations. Examples are gun barrel, rocket nozzle, and coal-fired gas turbine combustion flow fields.
