This conference paper offers a detailed exploration of the fully coupled CFD simulation of a KJ66 micro gas turbine (MGT) engine—an innovative approach that enhances the accuracy and fidelity of 3D numerical analysis.
Key Takeaways:
- Integrated Approach: Unlike traditional component-by-component analysis, fully coupled simulations account for the interactions between the compressor, combustion chamber, turbine, and exhaust in one single, seamless simulation.
- Advanced Methodologies: Learn about RANS and nonlinear harmonic (NLH) methods, as well as the potential for coupling with large eddy simulations (LES) to capture complex flow dynamics.
- Case Study: See how these methodologies are applied to the KJ66 MGT engine, providing insights into turbine efficiency, fuel combustion, and inter-component interactions.
- Environmental Impact: Discover how these advanced techniques contribute to meeting stringent environmental goals in the aerospace sector.
The conference paper, Methodology for Fully Coupled CFD Engine Simulations, Applied to a Micro Gas Turbine Engine, was first presented at the ASME Turbo Expo in Oslo, Norway.
