Gas Turbine Compressors and Fans: Fundamentals, Design, and Analysis focuses on the compression system of modern aircraft gas turbine engines, which includes the inlet, the fan, and the compressor. The content provided on the compressor is also relevant to ground-based gas turbine engines for power generation. This comprehensive volume provides the fundamentals of fan and compressor design and associated analyses. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 provides a general overview of compression systems used across the industry. The integrated design, build, and test process, from requirements gathering to verification, is reviewed, with interdisciplinary approaches highlighted. Part 2 provides the basis of the mathematical and numerical models used in the design and analysis. Part 3 dives into the underlying physical processes and mechanisms in compressors and fans, including aerodynamics, acoustics, sealing, aeromechanics, erosion, corrosion, and icing. The gas turbine engine is an engineering marvel that continues to advance in efficiency, reliability, sustainability, and how it impacts humankind’s activities by providing power to make things happen. Today, gas turbine engines directly or indirectly drive many of our world’s engineered systems on land, air, and sea, from mining and manufacturing to electric-power generation and aircraft propulsion. The complex interactions among the physical processes coupled with the stringent requirements needed to design and optimize fans and compressors for a gas turbine engine motivated the compilation of the chapters in this book and make it an essential and invaluable reference for students, researchers, designers, and managers.
