Achieving a Target Thrust at Nozzle Exit (Solution 718)

ƒ External aero configuration of a full aircraft with wing-body-pylon-nacelle requires the

specifications of target massflow rate at the nacelle inlet and target thrust at the nozzle
exit
ƒ Target massflow rate is specified using massflow-outlet boundary type (UDF, Fluent 6.1).
ƒ Target thrust can be achieved by manually adjusting the inlet total-temperature

Specify target massflow rate Specify target thrust

UDF, Scheme, Fluent 6.1 Adjust total temperature

ƒ The user manual adjustment can be automated by a UDF

ƒ Total temperature adjustment at each iteration is computed based on the equation
relating the total temperature to the thrust
