The high performance of aircraft turbine engines-mainly oriented towards economy in civil engines and towards performance, economy and off-design reliability in military applications-depends on the correct design of gas flows in the engine. Today, this is mainly done by numerical computer simulation instead of the much more costly experimentation with hardware. The working group undertook to analyse the quality of computer codes in use and to show ways for improvement. Many discrepancies between codes were detected and it was recognized that even the researchers actively working in this field were unaware of the full scale of this phenomenon. The military will gain from the newly designed engines as well as from possible improvement in upgrades. It should be noted that this kind of down-toearth analysis, despite its merits, has not been undertaken on an international basis outside AGARD/RTO. La validation CFD des organes des propulseurs (AGARD AR-355) Synthese La recherche de hautes performances des turbomoteurs, motivee, pour les moteurs civils, principalement par la recherche d'economies, et pour les moteurs militaires par F amelioration des performances, les economies et la fiabilite dans des conditions hors tolerances, passe par une connaissance precise de la conception des ecoulements dans le moteur. Aujourd'hui, dans ce domaine il est fait appel en general, ä la simulation numerique par ordinateur, de preference ä 1'experimentation reelle, beaucoup plus coüteuse. Le groupe de travail No. 26 s'est donne pour täche d'analyser la qualite des codes machine utilises et de faire des recommendations concernant d'eventuelles ameliorations. Un nombre eleve de divergences entre les differents codes a ete constate et il a ete admis que meme les chercheurs impliques activement dans ce domaine ignoraient la veritable ampleur du phenomene. Les militaires pourront tirer profit des moteurs de nouvelle generation, ainsi que des ameliorations possibles apportees par les remises ä niveau. II est ä noter que malgre son merite evident, ce type d'analyse pragmatique n'a pas ete entrepris au niveau international en dehors de FAGARD/RTO.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
