A Fluid Dynamics Study of Aircraft Engine Combustion Chamber in Computer Simulation

Abstract

Nowadays, in the design and production of the structure and elements of aircraft engines, it is essential for  engineers to use computer software that is able to  physically and mathematically model the flow of media or  to optimise the work of machining tools. In our case, the  simulation can easily replace costly test products,  furthermore it can also reduce the release of pollutants into the air during experiments, and the time spent on  construction or possible development can be minimised. The ANSYS computer software is most often used for this  task. It is a numerical fluid dynamics software that  discretises continuous operations in space and time,  making it excellent for examining combustion chambers in  engines. In our article, we want to present an analysis of  the suitability of the above mentioned software for the task  set by the authors, and then to present the results of the  application. During the analysis, we performed fluid flow simulations of various engines using ANSYS CFX software.  Our aim is to provide the reader with a comprehensive  picture of the processes taking place in flow engineering  machines, including the combustion chamber simulation.
