Abstract: Flow and heat transfer in an aeroengine compressor disk cavity with radial inflow has been studied using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), large eddy simulation (LES), and coupled fluid/solid modeling. Standalone CFD ...

Abstract: Flow and heat transfer in axial compressor disk cavities involve strong interaction of axial throughflow at the disk bores with centrifugal buoyant flow in the cavities. This paper presents large eddy simulation (LES) of ...

Abstract: A transient simulation of shutdown cooling for a gas turbine test rig configuration under ventilated natural convection has been successfully demonstrated using a coupled aerothermal approach. Large eddy simulation (LES) ...

Abstract: Code_Saturne, an open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, has been applied to a range of problems related to turbomachinery internal air systems. These include a closed rotor–stator disk cavity, a co-rotating ...
