Fundamental Mechanisms of Multi-Phase Flow Erosion/Corrosion of Solid Surfaces.

Abstract

Gun tubes, rocket and gas turbine nozzles, exit cones, thrust diverters launchers as well as electric, plasma and electromagnetic thrust device solid walls suffer erosion/corrosion and general deterioration from their working environment. This research emphasized identification and understanding of the dominant fundamental mechanisms leading to surface deterioration. It was also directed to study the materials, material properties, material dynamics and material preparation effective for resisting this deterioration. (Author)
