Applications

GSP is a powerful tool for analysis of effects of ambient and flight conditions, installation losses, deterioration and malfunctions of control- and other subsystems on performance. GSP has been used for a variety of applications of both aircraft and industrial gas turbines.

Basic applications

ambient effect analysis,

failure analysis,

deterioration analysis,

fuel type selection,

basic emission calculations,

control system design and diagnostics.

Advanced applications

analysis of recuperated turboshaft engine performance,

lift-fan STOVL propulsion systems,

control logic validation,

analysis of thermal load calculation for hot section life consumption modelling,

multi-reactor combustor model emission calculations.
