Regression Modeling of Turbine Engine Performance.

Abstract

This effort examines the use of regression modeling to represent turbine engine performance as a function of Mach number, altitude, power setting, design for pressure ratio and design overall pressure ratio. A model, satisfactory for conceptual analysis work, was constructed and evaluated. A significant reduction in propulsion data generation cost was demonstrated (approximately 15 to 1). Details of the approach are presented along with a discussion of the practicality of such a model. (Author)
