Establishing the optimal conditions for rotating arm erosion testing, materials characterisation and computational modelling of wind turbine blade rain erosion
Leading edge erosion is a growing issue within the wind industry; impacting upon blade performance and efficiency. Even with the wide range of research being conducted, there are currently no apparent foolproof material solutions for the issue. The research presentedhere looks to develop a better …

Do Roots Bind Soil? Comparing the Physical and Biological Role of Plant Roots in Streambank Fluvial Erosion
… effects of roots on streambank fluvial erosion. A series of laboratory-scale erosion tests were conducted using a mini jet erosion testing device and a recirculating flume channel to address this goal. Several soil and vegetation factors that influence fluvial entrainment, like …

High temperature erosive wear of a boiler tube steel
… operational parameters on the high temperature erosion of a 1Cr½Mo boiler tube steel. Erosion testing has been carried out in a specially designed and developed unique laboratory apparatus capable of simulating the conditions of temperature, particle velocity and flux as found in the economiser …

CFD-based erosion modelling of simple and complex geometries
… their product's susceptibility to solid particle erosion. A CFD-based erosion modelling tool is achieved by first solving the fluid flow through the component of interest; tracking particles through the fluid and extracting impact data on all solid surfaces; and finally relating the particle …

The Design, Build and Validation of a Realistic Artificial Mouth Model for Dental Erosion Research
… in vitro artificial mouth model built for dental erosion research. It also ascertained the working knowledge of dentists concerning the Human Tissue Act (HTA) and explored an alternative tissue for erosion-testing to human enamel. The design inputs for the artificial mouth were acquired by an …

Measurement Drift in 3-Hole Yaw Pressure Probes From 5 Micron Sand Fouling at 1050° C
… 50% blocked by sand accumulation. Accelerated erosion testing showed that the trapezoidal yaw probe was by far the most sensitive to sand accumulation, followed by the cylindrical probes, and the least sensitive was the wedge probe. A yaw angle range of interest was chosen to ±10 deg of yaw. …

Relationship Between Erodibility and Properties of Soils
… study was to develop equations correlating the erosion resistance of a soil to its geotechnical properties. Existing erosion tests and erosion correlations are documented. Around 200 erosion tests, and more than 200 geotechnical index property tests were conducted at Texas A&M University. A …

Geotechnical Investigation and Characterization of Bivalve-Sediment Interactions
… from dead bivalves are hypothesized to reduce erosion potential. Shell hash-laden sediments should be able to better withstand shearing, thereby increasing the critical shear stress required to erode material, compared to sediment without shell hash. Habitat suitability for bivalve colonies is …
