Description
High-Bypass Turbofan Engine (Fan Section) Simulation, ANSYS Fluent CFD Training
Description
The turbofan or fanjet is a type of air-breathing jet engine widely used in aircraft propulsion.
In a turbofan, some of that air bypasses these components. A turbofan, thus, can be thought of as a turbojet being used to drive a ducted fan, with both of these contributing to the thrust. Engines that use more jet thrust relative to fan thrust are known as low-bypass turbofans. Conversely, those with considerably more fan thrust than jet thrust are known as high-bypass.
Most commercial aviation jet engines in use today are of the high-bypass type. The fan flow has lower exhaust velocity, giving much more thrust per unit energy (lower specific thrust). Both airstreams contribute to the gross thrust of the engine. The additional air for the bypass stream increases the ram drag in the air intake stream-tube
The ge9x turbofan engine fan, a high-bypass engine, has been modeled in this case. The gas-turbine section has not been considered to study bypass flow behavior and model the fan at working condition. This simulation show airflow created by the fan in high-bypass and engine core at a Mach Number of 0.8.
The present model in the 3-D domain of this simulation has been designed in ANSYS Design Modeler. The domain contains a velocity inlet, pressure outlet, and wall for the intake wall and side for the far field.
The meshing of this present model has been generated by ANSYS Meshing software. The mesh grid is unstructured; the total cell number is 16,635,982 elements.
Methodology: High-Bypass Turbofan Engine Fan Section Simulation
For modeling turbulence, the k-omega SST model was used, which simulates the intake at the operational point with a velocity of 0.8 mach number.
Also, the MRF method is used to define turbofan rotation.
Conclusion
According to the speed contour in the middle of the engine, this simulation shows how the flow speed changes in different body profiles. At first, after the fan, the flow enters the bypass section and its speed increases, and finally, after passing through the bottleneck at the outlet, it reaches its maximum speed.
After passing through the fan, the core current of the engine increases and reaches its maximum in the combustion chamber, then when it reaches the turbine, its speed decreases, and it exits the outlet at a lower speed. These two outflows are mixed and reach a speed almost equal to the input speed
The temperature contour indicates the overall temperature increase in the engine environment. This increase in temperature is due to the increase in pressure due to the movement of the vanes, which is also noticeable in the static pressure contour.
The pressure contour is also due to increased pressure in front of the fan and bypass channels. Therefore, by summarizing these three diagrams, you can get a good view of how the fan works in a turbofan engine

Prof. Abdullah Wintheiser II –
The detail in the simulation analysis is very informative. Was the fuel consumption or thermal efficiency of the engine analyzed during this CFD simulation as well?
MR CFD Support –
Given that the simulation focused on the airflow dynamics and the mechanical aspects of the high-bypass turbofan engine rather than the full engine thermodynamics, information on fuel consumption and thermal efficiency is not directly addressed in the provided simulation. These parameters typically require comprehensive modeling of the combustion chamber and the associated thermodynamic cycles, which go beyond the scope of the airflow simulation.
Jerrell Kling –

Emerson Ullrich –
The simulation of the High-Bypass Turbofan Engine sounds comprehensive! I’m curious, does the inclusion of temperature effects provide insights into the performance variations at different thrust levels?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you for your kind words and interest! In this particular simulation, we primarily focused on the airflow created by the fan and the speed and pressure changes throughout the engine. However, temperature effects are indeed very crucial in understanding the performance variations at different thrust levels, as they can significantly affect the engine’s efficiency and the resultant thrust. By analyzing temperature contours and pressure changes, one could infer how the engine performs under different operational conditions. If you wish, further simulations with more emphasis on thermal analysis could be conducted to delve deeper into those aspects.
Ms. Annabelle Aufderhar II –
The simulation sounded thorough, yet I’m curious, was this study conducted with a focus on how the temperature and pressure change throughout the bypass and core flow or just at specific profiles or parts within the engine?
MR CFD Support –
The study focused on understanding the variations of temperature and pressure throughout the bypass and core flow in the engine. Different contours and plots in the simulation represent the changes at various sections, providing a comprehensive analysis of the turbofan operation.

Seth Kub –
Does this simulation take into account the thermal aspects of the engine, like the temperature increase due to compression?
MR CFD Support –
The description focuses mainly on the airflow and speed changes through the engine but does mention that the temperature contour indicates an overall temperature increase in the engine environment. This suggests that although primary attention is on aerodynamic aspects, the simulation does reflect some level of thermal response due to compression and the motion of the vanes.
Marlen Becker –
The detail in your review about how the flow speed changes in different parts of the engine illustrates a comprehensive analysis. Do you think the k-omega SST model was the best choice for this simulation, or could other turbulence models potentially improve the accuracy of the results?
MR CFD Support –
Thank you! The k-omega SST is often chosen for aerospace applications because it effectively captures boundary layer flows and separate flows, which are common in turbofan engines. It’s a robust choice for the described simulation. However, there are various other models available, and the optimal choice may depend on factors such as computational resources, required accuracy, and specific flow phenomena of interest. The choice of a more accurate or specialized turbulence model could potentially result in a different simulation outcome.
