Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD): Analysis of a Jet Engine

This project investigates the aerodynamic performance of a jet engine using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). A complete 3D geometry of the jet engine was designed in SolidWorks, based on real-world engineering parameters and simplified for simulation. The model was then analyzed using SolidWorks Flow Simulation. The simulation assumed steady-state, compressible airflow. The goal was to visualize the flow behavior, calculate pressure ratios, examine the effects of turbulence, and generate contour plots and streamlines to understand internal flow patterns. CFD was found to be a powerful tool in examining internal flow features that are otherwise difficult to measure experimentally, enabling design insights and performance evaluations.
