- Large-Eddy Simulation for Predicting Low-Emission Combustion and Lean Blowout in Gas Turbine Engines
- Dr. Suresh Menon
Professor, School of Aerospace Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology
|
 |
| Simulation of turbulent combustion in practical devices is very complex due to the wide range of scales involved: from the molecular scales where mixing and combustion occurs to the large-scale of the device that control the global processes. For next generation low-emission gas turbine engine (used for both propulsion and power generation), a design goal is to operate in the very lean limit but this has problems related to fuel-air mixing, lean blowout (LBO) and combustion instability. To optimize design, simulation must study operating conditions from stable to unstable combustion, without any ad hoc adjustment to the model. In this talk, a multi-scale approach will be discussed that can handle these requirements within a single modeling framework. Successes (and failures) as well as areas for future investigations will be identified. |

- Weight Reduction with TOSCA.Structure in the Existing CAE Environment. Functions and Improvements of the Latest Version
- Mr. Chavdar Georgiev
Dipl. -Ing., FE-DESIGN GmbH
|
|
| The increasing global competition requires that leading companies use the best technology to keep their market position. Demands on production and development are stronger than ever. FE-DESIGN is technology leader in topology/shape/bead optimization since many years and helps customers worldwide to improve their products in the complete product development process. Using TOSCA Structure it is possible to optimize in the existing CAE environment huge structures (e.g. millions of elements), to consider non-linearities (large deformations, contact, non-linear materials) or to integrate fatigue results in order to minimize damages. Various manufacturing constraints are available, to get producible design proposals. Industrial case studies will show different approaches to achieve results in a fast and efficient manner. |

Hitachi Construction Machinery Co.,Ltd
|
|
| Traditionally, optimization (achieving both functional improvement and cost reduction at the same time) of main structure members of construction machinery (plate workings, castings, forged parts, etc.) has been based on past experiences, knowledge, experiments, and simulations. Now, as a new way of optimization, Hitachi Construction Machinery is applying non-parametric topology optimization in which non-linear characteristics, buckling behavior, and quality of material are considered. Application examples and benefits of this method, as well as its possibility in application in actual design will be presented. |
