2:00 pm to 3:00 pm
Join us for a dynamic and insightful talk by Professor Jeffrey Bons from The Ohio State University as part of the Aerospace Engineering Graduate Colloquium.
Title: Airborne Particle Deposition in Jet Engine Hot Sections: Should I Board a Flight During a Sandstorm?
Speaker: Professor Jeffrey Bons, Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, The Ohio State University
Date & Time: Thursday, April 18, 2 p.m.
Location: AK 233 and via Zoom (Passcode: 892647)
About the Talk
In regions where airborne particulate levels are high—such as parts of Asia, Africa, and the Middle East—jet engines face increased performance degradation and maintenance demands. Professor Bons will share how decades of research in his lab have helped close critical knowledge gaps in gas turbine deposition, offering insights valuable to both researchers and engineers tackling multidisciplinary challenges.
About the Speaker
Professor Bons earned his PhD from MIT and currently leads the Turbine Aerothermodynamics Laboratory at OSU’s Aerospace Research Center. A fellow of ASME and associate fellow of AIAA, he brings extensive expertise in turbine cooling, particle deposition, and active flow control.
This is a great opportunity for students and faculty interested in aerospace engineering, mechanical systems, or real-world research applications.
