Název projektu:
PS FP7 FUEL-FAST Flexible Aero engine Simulation Tools for performance and emissions multiple partners required. (11 GB 41n7 3LUP)
Popis:
A consortium, being developed by an East of England based SME is looking for multiple partners to join and potentially lead an FP7 project being submitted to the FP7-AAT-2012-RTD-1 call. The objective is to employ a physics-based' virtual engineering' tool to solve engineering challenges in the development of modern aero-engines and extend the tool's capabilities.
This project is considered to be complementary to a number of the topics in the call. It would be considered as standalone or as its own work package within a large multi-partner consortium.
The overall objective is to employ a "physics-based" "virtual engineering" tool developed by the East of England SME and a highly regarded UK university, to solve engineering challenges in the development of modern aero engines. The tool and its innovative approach have already won numerous industrial awards and it is currently employed by the automotive and non-road industries to simulate practical engineering systems such as Internal Combustion engines. This project seeks to extend its core capability in terms of turbulent flow, advanced fuel oxidation, combustion and emissions formation for application to the simulation of modern aero engines.
By properly accounting for reactive flows, engineers can complete robust simulations of multi-component bio and conventional fuels. (as well as their combustion and emissions formation pathways) throughout the engine enabling for both fuel design and engine sizing and control to be adjusted simultaneously. This allows ongoing prediction and them optimisation of common performance metrics such as volumetric efficiency, fuel consumption rate, combustion efficiency, unburned hydrocarbons, CO, NOx and particulates.
The full scope of the project is dependent on the interests and capability of partners; however the following list summarises areas of potential collaboration;
A) Ash-particle/flame-out analysis: the UK partners are keen to employ their advanced particle simulation tools which can compute particle formation, inception, coagulation and oxidation in flames to analyse and mitigate sources of flame-out caused by the entrainment of ash particles.
B) Bio-fuel blend/engine/emissions performance: Application of our advanced tools to independently vary key fuel properties such as energy content, fuel volatility, bio-fuel component composition, reactivity (etc.) and investigate the sensitivity of the engine, combustion (limits) and emissions to the fuel itself.
C) Combustor Optimisation; Application of the UK partner's advanced tools to facilitate the development of ultra low-NOx combustors, including identifying sources of emissions variability.
D) Transient performance optimisation (in-flight): Application of the UK partner's tools to facilitate the development of intelligent' optimisation of control algorithms for low emission, high performance engines.
E) Assessment of the European bio-fuel infrastructure: The UK SME is presently leading a major multi partner project in this area and is keen to engage with other European partners.
Technical Specifications / Specific technical requirements:
The project is due to be submitted to the following call:
AAT-2012-RTD-1:
" Design systems and tools" Propulsion" Propulsion: tolerance to particle ingestion" Development and testing of advanced sustainable bio-based fuels for air transport

The partner must have experimental capabilities in testing/development of relevant engines. Active in engine development, interest in employing advanced simulation to facilitate future design and identify new fuel/engine optima. Interested in the influence of fuel on design and operation. Wishes to minimize emissions through rapid design optimization using advanced simulation. Seeking to understand the in the impact of ash particles on aircraft performance and safety.
Fuel suppliers (bio-and conventional fuels) to the aviation industry provide fuels for testing over a variety of specifications, carry out their own experimental testing with interest in improving relevant fuel characteristics.
Policy makers: In combination with the results of the models and experimental data develop a robust set of guidelines for the aviation industry to implement when ash is present over Europe. In addition, set up a progressive framework to facilitate the regulation and uptake of bio-fuels by the aviation industry.
R&D Labs with fuel/engine/emission testing facilities. These partners would be expected to carry out some of the research based experimental development activities necessary for the project for model parameterisation and blind testing i.e. running tests on various fuels, ash particle concentrations etc.. These experiments may be more fundamental in nature than those of the Aero Engine Manufactures to improve our understanding of any underlying chemical or physical processes which impact on performance.
