Modeling of ingestion of flammable gas mixture by a gas turbine engine compressor using OpenFoam

This report summaries the results of computational fluid dynamic simulations by using an open-source software, OpenFOAM in modeling of a gas turbine compressor. The main objective is to simulate the combustion of methane gas with air in the compressor as close as possible to the estimated data. Diff...
