The present work is devoted to some results of using the MSC.SimManager for development of Multilevel Turbofan Simulation Environment (MTSE). The current MTSE’s versions include: subsystem of turbofan’s design and simulation on 1D level; a subsystem of turbofan’s low pressure system (fan, booster, low pressure turbine) steady and unsteady aerodynamic analysis on 3D level; a subsystem of turbofan’s nacelle steady aerodynamic analysis including inlet, bypass and nozzles flows at 3D level. These subsystems based on CAE applications (in house and commercial) allow execution of all the necessary sequence of actions, including engine’s flow path parameters, geometry model adaptation (NX), mesh generation (ICEM-CFD), aerodynamic calculation (CIAM’s in house COBRA code), raw data processing (Tecplot, Excel). The MTSE is realized as specialized Web-portals and all the data and results are stored in a unified database with opportunity to audit each stage of process and all the data base content.

In 1990, BMW and Rolls Royce plc (RR) joined to form a new company BWW-Rolls-Royce GmbH (BRR), to develop the BR700 family of engines aimed at the 12K and 25K lbs thrust range, using advanced technology and a modern organisation working in integrated teams to minimise the engine development timescales. After a successful development programme the BR710 engine rated at 14K lbs thrust, will shortly enter service in Gulfstream and Canadair Executive Jets. The recent launch of the BR715 engine at 21K lbs thrust, builds on the high pressure core developed for the BR710, plus a low pressure system with an increased diameter fan and 2 stage booster driven by a three stage turbine. This paper will describe, the advanced design technology incorporated, including the latest three dimensional aerodynamic philosophy using advanced high lift aerofoils for reduced parts count, plus the mechanical design issues addressed to optimise the LP turbine module configuration and the simultaneous design/make process employed to achieve the required parts delivery timescales.

Abstract The aim of this study is to explore the possibility of matching a cycle performance model to public data on a state-of-the-art commercial aircraft engine (GEnx-1B). The study is focused on obtaining valuable information on figure of merits for the technology level of the low-pressure system and associated uncertainties. It is therefore directed more specifically towards the fan and low-pressure turbine efficiencies, the Mach number at the fan-face, the distribution of power between the core and the bypass stream as well as the fan pressure ratio. Available cycle performance data have been extracted from the engine emission databank provided by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), type certificate datasheets from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), as well as publicly available data from engine manufacturer. Uncertainties in the available source data are estimated and randomly sampled to generate inputs for a model matching procedure. The results show that fuel performance can be estimated with some degree of confidence. However, the study also indicates that a high degree of uncertainty is expected in the prediction of key low-pressure system performance metrics, when relying solely on publicly available data. This outcome highlights the importance of statistic-based methods as a support tool for the inverse design procedures. It also provides a better understanding on the limitations of conventional thermodynamic matching procedures, and the need to complement with methods that take into account conceptual design, cost and fuel burn.

Abstract. We demonstrate that daily pollutant transport patterns in East Asia are visible from satellite images when inspected with corresponding synoptic weather analyses. Transport pathways of air pollutants in East Asia are investigated using satellite observations, surface weather charts, and chemical-transport model simulations. It is found that during cool season (fall to spring), pollutant transports in East Asia are largely determined by synoptic weather patterns associated with high pressure system over southern China, which is extended from the Siberia High, and low pressure system over Manchuria, which is initiated by Altai-Sayan cyclogenesis. Based on the relative location and strength of these weather systems, three types of synoptic weather patterns that may contribute to pollutants transport in East Asia, especially in China and Korea, are identified: i.e., (1) a strengthening of the Siberian High and its southeastward propagation; (2) a high-pressure system over southern China followed by a frontal passage associated with a northern low-pressure system; and (3) a stagnant high-pressure system over southern China. For all three patterns, the high-pressure system in southern China is essential for the development of regional air pollution, while frontal activities associated with low-pressure system provide a forcing mechanism to transport those pollutants eastward or southeastward. Observed and simulated surface PM distributions show good agreement in both aerosol optical depth and NO2 column density further implying that anthropogenic emissions also contribute to regional events of high surface PM concentrations. It is argued that the quasi-periodic migration of synoptic weather systems in East Asia works as an efficient pump of pollutants; i.e., regional air pollutions developed under high-pressure systems are transported downstream by low-pressure systems.
