Sažetak
As a vital power propulsion device, gas turbines have been widely applied in aircraft. However, fly ash is easily ingested by turbine engines, causing blade abrasion or even film hole blockage. In this study, a three-dimensional turbine cascade model is conducted to analyze particle trajectories at the blade leading edge, under a film-cooled protection. A deposition mechanism, based on the particle sticking model and the particle detachment model, was numerically investigated in this research. Additionally, the invasion efficiency of the AGTB-B1 turbine blade cascade was investigated for the first time. The results indicate that the majority of the impact region is located at the leading edge and on the pressure side. In addition, small particles (1 mu m and 5 mu m) hardly impact the blade's surface, and most of the impacted particles are captured by the blade. With particle size increasing, the impact efficiency increases rapidly, and this value exceeds 400% when the particle size is 50 mu m. Invasion efficiencies of small particles (1 mu m and 5 mu m) are almost zero, and the invasion efficiency approaches 12% when the particle size is 50 mu m.
