Abstract
One of the goals of the aFJR project is to reduce the fuel consumption of aero-engines. In the aFJR project, we have attempted to estimate the transitions in the boundary layer of the fan blade surface using LES analysis. This year, in order to reduce the computational load, a trial calculation of a method to reduce the computational domain by using sponge boundaries was performed.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
The numerical simulation for predicting the turbulent flow transition is difficult to execute without a supercomputer due to the large amount of calculation.
Achievements of the Year
The target of the calculation is the shape of a single blade installed in a wind tunnel. Until last year, we used a grid that simulated the entire wind tunnel as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows the location of the sponge boundary and the distribution of the flow field. The gray grid shows the actual calculation area. Fig. 3 shows the results of the calculation under these conditions. The sponge boundary and the computational domain are almost perfectly connected, which shows that the calculation can be done in this way.
