Reduction in flow parameter resulting From volcanic ash deposition in engine representative cooling passages

Internal cooling passages of turbine blades have long been subject to blockage through the deposition of sand and dust during fleet service life. The ingestion of high volumes of volcanic ash therefore poses a real risk to engine operability with the additional difficulty that the cooling system is...
