Integrated flow simulation for thrust vectoring propulsion systems (B04)

• Subject Area: Fluid Mechanics ; Technical Thermodynamics
• Term: since 2023
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 498601949

This project will analyze new aero-thermodynamic effects of engines with low specific thrust and pressure ratio having their exhaust systems operated on the steep side of the flow and thrust characteristics. This covers non-uniform flow conditions within the intake system and the exhaust system. Special attention is paid to the impact on fan aerodynamics and performance. Transient performance modelling will be extend-ed to embrace waste heat recovery and water recovering exhaust gas treatment as well as mild thrust vectoring. The model will also provide an interface to the power balance method as thus couple detailed aero-thermodynamic results with reduced order models within SynTrac.
