Propulsion

Design of a turbojet engine, with aerodynamic and mechanical specifications. Multi-disciplinary project organization.

The thrust determined during the aircraft project being specified, thermodynamic cycle calculations are used to define the overall architecture of the jet engine. A one-dimensional analysis then leads to the definition of the number of sub-components. 'Zooms' on particular components are finally made as practical and in-depth examples of expertise. For example:

• Detailed design of compressor stages, from 3D mechanical and aerodynamic simulations. Definition of a compromise between aerodynamics and mechanics.
• Analysis of the overall dynamics (tree, disks, links...).

Two series of courses support the realization of the project:

• Simulations in aerodynamics.
• Overall dynamics.
