Simulation and Design of Gas Turbine Components
Abstract: This presentation describes a general purpose simulation and design
system being developed jointly by Rolls-Royce plc and a network of University
Technology Centres. The key elements of the system are a parametric design and
rapid meshing capability; a state-of-the-art CFD solver with an adjoint
capability; and, an advanced optimisation system consisting of a library of
optimisers. A description is given of each element in the design system. To
illustrate its use and flexibility, a range of applications from the gas
turbine field are described.
Key issues in the development and maintenance of a
large industrial analysis and design suite are also described including the use
of automatic differentiation.
