Fluid-Structure Interaction Simulation of Gas Turbine Engines Using Isogeometric Analysis

Abstract

In this project we propose to investigate recent developments and improvements in the simulation techniques for gas turbine engines by developing new simulation methods and software for the application at hand, while simultaneously leveraging recent developments in the areas of geometry modeling, coupled mechanical simulation (i.e., fluidÑstructure interaction (FSI)), and integration of geometry modeling and simulation using the concept of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA). We propose to develop, implement, and validate the computational framework, which consists of the following items and features: a. Multiscale modeling of compressible turbulent flows in geometrically complex configurations; b. Hierarchical modeling of geometrically complex gas turbine blade structures based on IGA; c. Accurate and efficient treatment of fluidÑstructure interfaces present in the modeling and simulation of the coupled FSI phenomena; d. Algorithmic implementation suitable for HPC.
