Cover Story: The ingestion of dust particles by aero-engines results in reduced efficiency, performance and engine life. Predicting the rate at which this deterioration occurs requires knowledge of the engine operating state and particle properties, the latter of which are often unknown or poorly constrained. Coupling reduced-order component damage models with engine performance predictions allows a Monte Carlo analysis to be undertaken and performance degradation rates to be predicted with calculated levels of confidence. The coupled approach can also be used to predict the uncertain dust properties by correlation with measured engine performance degradation. This will ultimately enable the use of the model to predict future engine degradation and, therefore, aid progress towards more predictive maintenance strategies. View this paper.

Numerical and Experimental Investigation of Longitudinal Oscillations in Hall Thrusters

  • Vittorio Giannetti,
  • Manuel Martín Saravia,
  • Luca Leporini,
  • Simone Camarri and
  • Tommaso Andreussi

One of the main oscillatory modes found ubiquitously in Hall thrusters is the so-called breathing mode. This is recognized as a relatively low-frequency (10–30 kHz), longitudinal oscillation of the discharge current and plasma parameters. In this pap...
