Additional information

This research was part a national project advancing exploitation of computer modelling. It demonstrates that previously proposed methods (Sun, Chew, Hills, Volkov, Barnes, ASME J. Turbomachinery, 2010, 132, 031016) are sufficiently accurate and practical for industrial design. The method takes advantage of differing timescales for thermal and flow response, and is much more efficient than other published CFD-FEA coupling methods. This capability is embedded in Rolls-Royce systems, has been evaluated against engine test data, has been used on high-value projects, and is a step towards virtual engine modelling capturing aero-thermo-mechanical coupling.
