  1. Lecture Series AVT-167 Strategies for Optimization and Automated Design of Gas Turbine Engines (Complex Systems) Applied Vehicle Technology Panel

  2. Agenda • Introduction to Lecture Series • Aim and Goal for the Lecture Series • Organizational topics NATO/PFP

  3. Why do we need optimization and automated design processes? • Gas Turbines are complex products which have … • Lots of interactions between their parts • Parts operating in a very demanding environment • Far reaching failure consequences NATO/PFP

  4. Typical Gas Turbine as an Example for a Complex System NATO/PFP

  5. Typical loading environment • The forces on one HP Turbine blade are equivalent to one fully laden double decker bus. Typical Trent HP Turbine discs have 92 blades. Therefore, the total force on a single disc is equivalent to a fleet of 92 buses carrying approximately 1000 people. NATO/PFP

  6. Consequences of failure • A disc burst has similar energy to a family saloon car hitting a brick wall at 100 mph or is equivalent to throwing a car 300 feet into the air. • A failure of a such a part during flight would result in disc sections being thrown approximately 1½ miles from the aircraft. A failed part would not be contained within the engine and if travelling in a disadvantageous direction would rip through the aircraft fuselage. NATO/PFP

  7. FROM: Strengthening Simulation’s Business Impact: New Strategies in Aircraft Engines July 13, 2009 By Bruce Jenkins, Principal Analyst, Ora Research LLC Ora Research LLC P.O. Box 391227 Cambridge, MA 02139-0013 USA tel. +1 617 875 9598 www.oraresearch.com Business drivers NATO/PFP

  8. Aim and Goals for this Lecture Series • To define terminology and present optimization techniques; • To outline practical approaches to the formulation of automated gas turbine engines (complex systems) design tasks; • To teach the methodology and the processes and NOT the tools; • To present practical examples of component, subsystem and system level designs and optimizations; • To address key technical and human barriers. NATO/PFP

  9. Agenda for the LS – Day 1 NATO/PFP

  10. Agenda for the LS – Day 2 NATO/PFP

  11. Organizational topics I • Each section has • A short intro to the sections • 2- 4 presentations or case studies • Typically the presentation (except the methods presentations) is scheduled for 40 min including at least 10 min discussion time. • Coffee Breaks have been organized to foster discussion with the participants and the presenters • There is no lunch provided but there are ample of restaurants in proximity of the venue NATO/PFP

  12. Organizational topics II • Copies of the presentation materials will be provided • Your feedback will be used to improve the material and to create Educational Notes • These notes will contain the presentation material and papers and will be provided via the NATO web site (within the next 6 month) NATO/PFP

  13. Have Fun NATO/PFP
