The equations that govern the three dimensional motion of solid particles suspended by a compressible gas flow through a rotating cascade of a turbomachine are formulated. These equations are solved for the case of flow through a turbine stage. The solution takes into account the loss in particle momentum due to their collision with the turbine blades or casing. The dynamic characteristics of the solid particles; namely, their absolute trajectories, paths relative to the turbine rotor, velocity distributions, and the combined stage velocity diagrams, are calculated. The effects of changing the particles mean diameter, material density, and initial particle and gas velocities at the stator inlet on the dynamic characteristics of the solid particles are investigated. The results obtained from this study indicate the locations on the turbine blades subjected to severe erosion damage. Nomenclature a = particle absolute acceleration B = frame fixed in blades /# = angle between particle relative velocity and tangent to surface = absolute velocity C = absolute velocity component in the x,0 plane Cpg , = specific heat of gas at constant pressure
