Lobed Mixer and Inter-Turbine Duct Aerodynamics

The intern will assess computer-based simulation tools used by a leading Canadian aerospace organization to determine the accuracy of these tools. Specifically, the objective is to establish the extent to which these engineering tools can be used to capture the performance benefits of novel aerodynamic design strategies recently developed at Carleton University for aerodynamic shaping of inter-turbine ducts and compact exhaust diffusers, which are two components used on gas-turbine engines. Upon confirming sufficient accuracy of the simulation tools for this purpose, the partner organization will be able to integrate the research findings developed at Carleton University into the design of their gas turbine engines.
