INTRODUCTION TO
OFF DESIGN SIMULATIONS
Off-Design Simulations
Let us begin with a jet engine.
Select the most simple engine
architecture, a Turbojet.

Off Design
A click on Standard Maps begins
the off-design calculation.

We Need Some Data…
Off-Design Input Data Page
After reading the file, the cycle
design point is calculated. This
happens in the background.
The standard compressor and
turbine maps are scaled in such
a way that theyNow

Off-Design Point Summary
The contents of this summary
page is identical to that of the
cycle design point
Operating Point Details
Copyright © Joachim Kurzke
This is the Standard High
Pressure Compressor Map file
On this page those details of the
operating point are presented
that are not needed for a cycle
design calculation.
This is the Standard High
Pressure Turbine Map file
Compressor Map
The circle marks the cycle
design point,
the yellow square marks the
off-design operating point.

In this special case – because
we have calculated the cycle
design point in off-design
mode – the yellow square is
inside the circle.
Turbine Map
The circle marks the cycle
design point,
the yellow square marks the
off-design operating point.

There are six different
versions of a turbine map.
The y-axis can be Pressure
Ratio or Corrected Work.
Here Turbine Pressure
Ratio is shown over the
product of Corrected Flow
and Corrected Speed.
Turbine Map

Here Turbine Pressure
Ratio is shown over
Corrected Speed.
The corrected flow is
shown as contour lines in
% of the maximum
corrected flow in the map

Turbine Map
Here Turbine Pressure
Ratio is shown with the
same axes as a
compressor map: Turbine
Pressure Ratio over
Corrected Mass Flow.
The disadvantage of this
format is that all the speed
lines nearly collapse.

Thermodynamic Stations
Here you get all the details at the
thermodynamic stations.
The engine geometry - all the flow areas at all
stations - is among the results of the cycle
design point calculation.
Off-Design Input Data

Here you can choose whether
Relative Spool Speed ZXN or
Burner Exit Temperature ZT4 is given.
Enter 2 to make Burner Exit
Temperature an input and
use 1200 for it
Let us run a case with 1200 K
Burner Exit Temperature.

Let us have other views
on the data
With bleed the
surge problem
does not exist.
The Default Plot

With bleed the surge
problem does not exist.
However, with bleed the fuel
consumption is higher…

With bleed the surge problem does not
exist; however, the burner exit
