The image below shows a paper that simulated this type of simulation using StarCCM++. Is it possible to simulate the same this on Autodesk CFD. The image below shows the fan as a plate which is how i designed my turbofan engine. In the paper it suggested that the boundary condition should be a pressure outlet at the fan plane. I am not sure whether this is possible on Autodesk CFD. If it is possible should i just define the fan face as a pressure outlet boundary condition with the prescribed pressure. All simulations would be compressible flow at the oncoming flow Mach number is 0.8. My main area of research is only the inlet flow of the nacelle therefore the fan, exhaust and core are not required to be simulated. Any help would be apricated.&nbsp;</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper lia-image-align-inline" image-alt="syedalam786123_0-1618262729543.png" style="width: 400px;"><img src="https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/905536i3EDECFF1CE979049/image-size/medium?v=v2&amp;px=400" role="button" title="syedalam786123_0-1618262729543.png" alt="syedalam786123_0-1618262729543.png" /></span></P><P>Kind regards,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Syed</P> Mon, 12 Apr 2021 21:31:03 GMT Anonymous 2021-04-12T21:31:03Z https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/cfd-forum/simplistic-model-of-a-turbofan-engine/m-p/10232637#M3411 <P>Hello,</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>I was wondering if it is possible to simulate a turbofan engine where the fan, core and exhaust wont require to be simulated.
