Wind blades are the most expensive parts of wind turbines made from fibre-reinforced
polymer composites. The blades play a critical role on the energy production, but they are …

Droplet impaction on the wall surface is ubiquitous in natural and industrial applications.
Understanding this phenomenon is also significant to nuclear installation design and safety …

In this study, the water droplet erosion (WDE) behaviour of Ti–6Al–4V and mechanisms of
material damage were investigated. The WDE test was conducted in an advanced rig in …

The impact of a low-speed droplet on a very-thin liquid film on a solid surface was analyzed
experimentally by observing the impact force and droplet behavior. A high impact force and …

In this study, the erosion behavior of aluminum material was tested in a pulsed-jet erosion
facility for a wind turbine blade, wherein the droplet behavior was simulated by a liquid slug …

In this short communication, the rain erosion mechanism on a leading-edge half cylinder
was investigated both experimentally and numerically focusing on the influence of leading …

Liquid droplet impingement (LDI) erosion on a rough surface was studied experimentally in
the initial stage of erosion using spray-jet impingement on various levels of sandpaper …

Damping of the impact pressure from liquid droplet impingement (LDI) on a wet wall was
studied by numerical simulation and experiment. The numerical simulation was carried out …

A study of erosion mechanism during the liquid droplet impingement (LDI) on a rough
surface was conducted using both numerical simulation and experiments. The numerical …

In this paper, liquid droplet impingement (LDI) erosion on the groove roughness of
aluminum (A1070) is studied both experimentally and numerically, to understand the …
