Although Large Eddy Simulation (LES) is identified today as the most promising method for
turbulent flow problems, few applications of LES coupled to heat transfer solvers in solids …

The primary requirement for high pressure turbine heat transfer designs is to predict blade
metal temperature. There has been a considerable recent effort in developing coupled fluid …

A multidisciplinary optimization system and its application to the design of a small radial
compressor impeller are presented. The method uses a genetic algorithm and artificial …

In micro gas turbine generators, the significant temperature difference within close proximity
of the hot and cold components induces a substantial heat influx into the micro centrifugal …

Nowadays turbocharging the internal combustion engine has become a key point in both the
reduction of pollutant emissions and the improvement of engine performance. The matching …

The miniaturisation of gas turbine engines poses significant challenges to the performance
in heat management due to the close proximity of the hot and cold components. This paper …

The multilevel-multidisciplinary-multipoint optimization system developed at the von Kármán
Institute and its applications to turboma-chinery design is presented. To speed up the …

This paper deals with the construction of a conservative method for coupling a fluid
mechanics solver and a heat diffusion code. This method has been designed for unsteady …

For external convective heat transfer, a common assumption based on the conventional
wisdom is that aerodynamics determines the heat transfer coefficient without being affected …

Owing to the high energy density of hydrocarbon fuels, ultramicrogas turbines (UMGT) with
power outputs below 1 kW have clear potential as battery replacement in drones. However …
