TERTS Technical Paper
|
(current version: NLR-TP-2002-069 - PRE-RELEASE)
NLR's 'Turbine Engine Real-Time Simulator' (TERTS) is a component-based real-time
modelling environment for gas turbines derived from GSP. TERTS is a powerful real-time tool
for analysis of effects of malfunctions of control systems and other sub-systems
on performance in pilot-in-the-loop simulations. TERTS is implemented in the
Matlab-Simulink environment, offering excellent means to develop separate component
and subsystem (especially control system) models. From Simulink, C-code can be
generated for direct implementation of the model in NLR's
National Simulation Facility NSF.
The TERTS Technical Paper
titled "TERTS, a Generic Real-Time Gas Turbine Simulation Environment" was
presented as ASME-2001-GT-446 at the ASME Turbo Expo 2001, 4-7 June 2001 in New Orleans,
Louisiana, USA, and gives a comprehensive description of the TERTS environment and an illustrative
example of an afterburning turbofan.

Integrated Lifing Analysis Paper
|
(current version: NLR-TP-2000-049 - February 2000)
NLR has developed a method to predict gas turbine component life based on analysis of engine
performance. Engine performance history is obtained from in-flight monitored engine parameters
and flight conditions, and processed off-line by a combination of tools. Besides GSP as
comprehensive thermodynamical engine system model, this combination includes models for heat
transfer, thermal load, mechanical load and life consumption. Due to the relative high inaccuracy
of the life consumption model component life can only be predicted relative to a reference life.
The Integrated Lifing
Analysis Paper titled "Integrated Lifing Analysis Tool for Gas Turbine Components" was
presented as ASME-2000-GT-646 at the ASME Turbo Expo 2000, 8-11 May 2000 in Munich, Germany,
and gives a comprehensive description of the application of GSP in an integrated tool. The tool is
demonstrated with an analysis of deterioration effects on the life consumption of the F100PW220
engine 1st stage LPT rotor blade during a recorded RNLAF F-16 mission.
