An End-to-End High Fidelity Numerical Simulation of the LE-X Engine

Risk evaluation is important for the development of new engines. One possible approach to a reliable risk mitigation analysis is to perform high-fidelity three-dimensional (3-D) computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses of the entire engine system. This is the first ever result of a high-fidelity end-to-end engine simulation.
