Abstract

The objective of this work was to investigate the inspection possibilities of the inner surface of the nozzle using ultrasonic linear phased array. The task was to determine ranges of angles and positions, which would enable to cover completely the areas necessary to inspect. The propagation of the ultrasonic wave in the nozzle has been modelled using CIVA software. The modelled ultrasonic field at different positions on the nozzle and at different steering angles of ultrasonic phased array are presented.
The presented results demonstrate possible positions of ultrasonic phased array for the inspection of the inner curved surface of the nozzle.
