...Michael E. Elmstrom; Knox T. Millsaps; Garth V. Hobson; Jeffrey S. Patterson A computational fluid dynamic (CFD) investigation is presented that provides predictions of the aerodynamic impact of uniform and nonuniform coatings applied to the leading edge of a compressor airfoil in a cascade. Using...

... flowrates is based on a modified Holland and Thake procedure, which can be formalized in terms of averaged parameters. Thermal barrier coatings can be included if present. The importance of allowing for fluctuations in combustor outlet temperature is stressed and procedures for dealing with end-wall...

...Jeffrey P. Bons; Robert P. Taylor; Stephen T. McClain; Richard B. Rivir Results are presented for contact stylus measurements of surface roughness on in-service turbine blades and vanes. Nearly 100 turbine components were assembled from four land-based turbine manufacturers. Both coated...

... to the surface of interest as a coating, or paint. The pressure-sensitive-paint (PSP) technique is now commonly used in stationary wind-tunnel tests; this paper presents the use of this technique in advanced turbomachinery applications. New pressure- and temperature-sensitive paints (P/TSPs) have been developed...
