  • To address the issue of graphite dust deposition within the helium turbine of high-temperature reactors (HTGR) impacting performance and maintenance, the motion and deposition behaviors of graphite dust particles on the helium turbine walls with film cooling were investigated by numerical simulations. The rebound effects between the particles and the wall, as well as the resuspension of deposited particles caused by the flow field were considered. A deposition-resuspension model for graphite dust particles was established. The results indicated that due to the shape of the turbine blades, almost no particles impacted the suction surface, leading to no particle deposition. Due to higher shear stress at the trailing edge, the deposition on the pressure surface mainly concentrated at the middle. Small particles with lower inertia were more prone to deposition under the influence of counter-rotating vortices, and their deposition rate was primarily influenced by the collision rate. Larger particles with a lower critical deposition velocity exhibited a significantly lower deposition rate, which was mainly affected by the adhesion rate. As the blowing ratio increased, the entrainment effect of the cooling film intensified, resulting in a continuous increase in the deposition rate of smaller particles.
