High-Fidelity Three-Dimensional Simulation of the GE90A full-engine simulation of the three-dimensional flow in the GE90 94B high-bypass ratio turbofan engine has been achieved. It would take less than 11 hr of wall clock time if starting from scratch through the exploitation of parallel processing. The simulation of the compressor components, the cooled high-pressure turbine, and the low-pressure turbine was performed using the APNASA turbomachinery flow code. The combustor flow and chemistry were simulated using the National Combustor Code (NCC). The engine simulation matches the engine thermodynamic cycle for a sea-level takeoff condition. The simulation is started at the inlet of the fan and progresses downstream. Comparisons with the cycle point are presented. A detailed look at the blockage in the turbomachinery is presented as one measure to assess and view the solution and the multistage interaction effects.
