Numerisk strömningsmekanik är en kraftfull metod för att förstå flödet och förbränningen som sker i flygplansmotorer och kommer att vara ett avgörande verktyg i övergången från konventionella fossila bränslen till hållbara alternativ. Eftersom mer forskning har skett kring konventionella bränslen bör en simuleringsmetod för alternativa bränslen föregås av en metod som verklighetstroget kan simulerComputational fluid dynamics is a powerful method for understanding the flow and combustion that occurs inside aircraft engines and will be a key tool in the transition from conventional fossil-based fuel to sustainable alternatives.
