Mixer Effectiveness at the Exit of a Turbofan Engine (DuPont Aerospace)

To examine the mixing, the computational space is generated using GRIDGEN © and closely compared compared to the details of the actual engine. The CFD flow solver is then run using the same operating conditions as the actual engine hardware. The post-processing tool FIELDVIEW © is used visualize the CFD results. Post processing scripts are used to extract the detail results for comparison to actual engine data..

The objective is to study the flow physics of mixing between two different hot and cold airstreams.
