Description

Abstract: The efficient functioning of modern turbofan engines relies heavily on a deep understanding of airflow dynamics within critical components. This research paper presents a comprehensive investigation into airflow simulation within a turbofan engine, employing advanced computational techniques. The study focuses on flow behavior and makes use of SolidWorks for 3D modeling and ANSYS for simulation. The investigation centers on analyzing key flow parameters such as velocity, pressure, and temperature. The methodology involves creating an accurate 3D model of the turbofan engine excluding the compressor, combustion chamber, and turbine using SolidWorks to capture fine geometry and details. Subsequently, ANSYS is utilized to simulate the airflow within the turbofan engine, simulating realistic conditions and enabling the detailed analysis of flow behavior. The results of this study advance knowledge of turbofan engine technology and lay the groundwork for additional study and advancement in the area of aviation propulsion systems. In response to the evolving requirements of the aviation sector, the knowledge acquired from this research will serve as a priceless asset in the development of engines that are characterized by enhanced dependability, a reduced ecological footprint, and heightened fuel efficiency.
