Simulation of Gas Turbines

WHAT IS Simulation of Gas Turbines GSP is a  generic  modelling tool capable of modelling  virtually  any gas turbine engine configuration including (external) loads (like water breaks, pumps, generators, etc). GSP is primarily based on 0D-modelling (zero-D) of the thermodynamic cycle of the gas turbine. This implies that the flow properties are averaged over the flow cross section areas at the interface surfaces of the component models (inlet and the exit). GSP utilizes component model stacking to create the thermodynamic cycle of the engine of interest. Input of the model configuration is the cycle design, or any known reference point (or preferably several points) of a new engine. Information needed for the cycle configuration, eg. turbine and compressor maps, is readily available from the manufacturer or from the internet (e.g. manufacturer fact sheets, ASME papers, etc.).   Blade-to-blade section embedding for gas turbine CFD Another common and importa...
