Dynamic Simulation of Gas Turbine Engines
Aircraft- and power generation gas turbines have to meet increasingly high efficiency and performance requirements. In addition, in the course of adverse dynamic operations such as start-up, shutdown and load changes the engines are subject to:
Extreme aerodynamic, thermal and mechanical stresses. Design point calculations do not account for additional stresses originating from
dynamic operation
A non-linear dynamic computational tool provides detailed essential information regarding dynamic behavior of gas turbine engines under off-design or any extreme adverse operation condition.
TPFL has developed a powerful computational tool, GETRAN Further enhancement of GETRAN is a Ph.D. topic

Components Common to All Gas Turbine Engines
Gas turbine components of different geometric configurations fulfill the same function and are described by the same set of conservation equations.
This common characteristic is utilized for code development and architecture of GETRAN, which is A GEneric modularly structured computer program for Simulating the

Non-linear Dynamic Engine Simulation Steps
Step 1: Expedite the engine hardware components: No. of spools No. of shafts, May be different from the no. of spools No. of compressors stages on each spool No. of turbine stages on each spool No. of combustors No. of diffusers, nozzles, recuperators, controllers etc.
Step 2: Generate the schematics of the engine that includes all modules with addressing.
Step 3: Provide a detailed input file that accounts for the geometry of the entire engine and some components characteristics at design point.
Step 3: Based on the geometry given, above GETRAN calculates the behavior at the design and any adverse off-design operation prescribed by the user.
An example shows, how the simulation works.

Modeling Technology: Example Combustion Chamber
Each component is modeled by a set of partial differential equations
For the above combustion model, we have system of 7 PDEs: 3 PDE on the air (cold side blue),
3 PDE on hot (gad side red), 1 PDE the metal side
A complete gas turbine engine has several system of PDEs.The type of adverse operation condition determine the boundary conditions
