Item Open Access CFD investigation of a core-mounted-target-type thrust reverser, Part 1: reverser stowed configuration(ASME, 2017-12-25) Mahmood, Tashfeen; Jackson, Anthony J. B.; Sethi, Vishal; Khanal, Bidur; Ali, FakhreDuring the second half of the 90's, NASA performed experimental investigations on six novel Thrust Reverser designs; Core Mounted Target Type Thrust Reverser (CMTTTR) design is one of them. To assess the CMTTTR efficiency and performance, NASA conducted several wind tunnel tests at Sea Level Static conditions. The results from these experiments are used in this paper series to validate the CFD results. This paper is part one of the three-part series; Part 1 and 2 discusses the CMTTTR in stowed and deployed configurations, all analysis in the first two papers are performed at SLS conditions. Part3 discusses the CMTTTR in the forward flight condition. The key objectives of this paper are: first, to perform the 3D CFD analysis of the reverser in stowed configuration; all analyses are performed at SLS condition. The second objective is to validate the acquired CFD results against the experimental data provided by NASA[1]. The third objective is to verify the fan and overall engine net thrust values acquired from the aforementioned CFD analyses against those derived based on 1-D engine performance simulations. The fourth and final objective is to examine and discuss the overall flow physics associated with the CMTTTR under stowed configuration. To support the successful implementation of the overall investigation, full-scale 3DCAD models are created, representing a fully integrated GE90 engine, B777 wing, and pylon configuration. Overall a good agreement is found between the CFD and test results; the difference between the two was less than 5%.Item Open Access CFD investigation of a core-mounted-target-type thrust reverser, Part 2: reverser deployed configuration(ASME, 2017-12-25) Mahmood, Tashfeen; Jackson, Anthony J. B.; Sethi, Vishal; Khanal, Bidur; Fakhre, AliCMTTTR design was proposed by NASA in the second half of the 90's. NASA carried out several experiments at static conditions, and their acquired results suggested that the performance characteristics of the CMTTTR design falls short to comply with the mandatory TR performance criteria, and were therefore regarded as an infeasible design. However, the authors of this paper believe that the results presented by NASA for CMTTTR design require further exploration to facilitate the complete understanding of its true performance potential. This Part2 paper is a continuation from Part1and presents a comprehensive three-dimensional (CFD) analyses of the CMTTTR in deployed configuration; the analyses at forward flight conditions will be covered in Part 3. The key objectives of this paper are: first, to validate the acquired CFD results with the experimental data provided by NASA: this is achieved by measuring the static pressure values on various surfaces of the deployed CMTTTR model. The second objective is to estimate the performance characteristics of the CMTTTR design and corroborate the results with experimental data. The third objective is to estimate the Pressure Thrust (i.e. axial thrust generated due to the pressure difference across various reverser surfaces) and discuss its significance for formulating the performance of any thrust reverser design. The fourth objective is to investigate the influence of kicker plate installation on overall TR performance. The fifth and final objective is to examine and discuss the overall flow physics associated with the thrust reverser under deployed configuration.
