Rapid and reliable rain erosion screening of blade coatings for wind turbines is a strong need in the coatings industry. One possibility in this direction is the use of discrete water jets, where so-called jet slugs are impacted on a coating surface. Previous investigations have mapped the influence of water jet slug velocity and impact frequency. In the present work, the effects on coating erosion...
Driven by the growth of the wind power industry during the last decade, the size of wind turbines has grown considerably and single-turbine power can nowadays reach a capacity of 8MW with rotor diameters exciding 160m. Rain erosion is a considerable threat to the mechanical integrity of the blades in such equipment. To reduce expensive blade maintenance repairs and to avoid out-of-service periods,...
