Validation of CFD codes for propulsion system components

Abstract

This report describes an international effort to investigate the present limitations of some of the commercially available CFD codes and their models. This investigation involves comparing the predictions from these codes with the experimental results of the two selected test cases. The data collection method is briefly described followed by a detailed discussion of the graphical approach used by the group of investigators to compare results. In addition, an attempt to investigate the deviation of the collected results with the experimental data is discussed.
