This paper describes the commissioning of a linear compressor cascade rig for ice crystal research. The rig is located in an altitude chamber so the test section stagnation pressure, temperature and M....
This paper presents liquid water and ice crystal collection effects for a generic axisymmetric turbofan engine inlet over a range of flight Mach numbers, inlet mass flow ratios, droplet inertia parame....
An integral part of a new engine certification process is the test verification of satisfactory operation in icing conditions. Icing conditions for this test, which is often conducted at sea level, ne....
Particle trajectory and ice shape calculations were made for the Energy Efficient Engine (E₃) using the LEWICE3D Version 3 software. The particle trajectory and icing computations were performed using....
A total water content probe for flight- and ground-based testing is being completed. During operation across a range of altitudes and water content conditions, the probe has to maintain isokinetic flo....
Ice buildup in the compressor section of a commercial aircraft gas turbine engine can cause a number of engine failures. One of these failure modes is known as engine rollback: an uncommanded decrease....
During the past two decades the occurrence of ice accretion within commercial high bypass aircraft turbine engines under certain operating conditions has been reported. Numerous engine anomalies have ....
Due to numerous engine power-loss events associated with high-altitude convective weather, ice accretion within an engine due to ice-crystal ingestion is being investigated. The National Aeronautics a....
Ice accretions that have formed inside gas turbine engines as a result of flight in clouds of high concentrations of ice crystals in the atmosphere have recently been identified as an aviation safety ....
