Abstract: The design and aeromechanical assessments of turbomachinery blades and vanes comprise a wide range of complex processes that tend to be based on conventional deterministic methods. These processes often provide a “snapshot” ...

Abstract: The fan systems of typical high bypass civil engines encounter strong flow distortions originating in the intake and the bypass duct. These flow distortions cause the fan stage operation point to vary from its design intent, ...

Abstract: The preliminary design of labyrinth seals requires fast and accurate estimate of the leakage flow. While the conventional bulk flow models can quickly predict labyrinth seal discharge characteristics, they lack the accuracy ...

Abstract: The design and analysis of the secondary air system (SAS) of gas turbine engine is a complex and time-consuming process because of the complicated topology and iterative nature of SAS design. The conventional SAS design-analysis ...

Abstract: The gas turbine engine design involves multidisciplinary, multifidelity iterative design-analysis processes. These highly intertwined processes are nowadays incorporated in automated design frameworks to facilitate ...
