Methods for Executing Gas Turbine Engine Performance Programs to Generate Envelope Performance for Customers

2017-04-10
WIP
AIR7486
This is an initial release of an Aerospace Information Report to provide methods for Engine Suppliers to follow to execute their in house performance models to generate datasets that are provided to airframe customers early in the conceptual design phase of an aircraft program. This AIR provides some general guidance for execution order and input settings to be used to execute the model.

Gas Turbine Engine Performance Presentation for Digital Computer Programs Using Fortran 77

2009-05-05
CURRENT
ARP4191D
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Paractice (ARP) provides a method for digital computer programs for gas turbine engine performance, steady-state or transient, performance to be written using the FORTRAN 77 language. When it is agreed between the program User and Supplier that a particular program shall be supplied in FORTRAN 77, it is recommended that this ARP be used in conjunction with AS681 for steady-state and transient programs. This ARP also describes how to take advantage of the FORTRAN 77 CHARACTER storage to extend the information interface between the calling program and the engine subroutine. The ARP has the same major section numbers as AS681 to facilitate its use with this document. The information given in each section of this ARP is additional to that given in AS 681.

Gas Turbine Engine Performance Presentation and Nomenclature For Object-Oriented Computer Programs

2023-01-18
WIP
AS5571
This document provides recommendations for several aspects of air-breathing gas turbine engine performance modeling using object-oriented programming systems. Nomenclature, application program interface, and user interface are addressed with the emphasis on nomenclature. The Numerical Propulsion System Simulation (NPSS) modeling environment is frequently used in this document as an archetype. Many of the recommendations for standards are derived from NPSS standards. NPSS was chosen because it is an available product. The practices recommended herein may be applied to other object-oriented systems. While this document applies broadly to any gas turbine engine, the great majority of engine performance computer programs have historically been written for aircraft propulsion systems. Aircraft and propulsion terminology and examples appear throughout.

CURRENT
AIR4548B
This SAE Aerospace Information Report (AIR) provides a review of real-time modeling methodologies for gas turbine engine performance. The application of real-time models and modeling methodologies are discussed. The modeling methodologies addressed in this AIR concentrate on the aerothermal portion of the gas turbine propulsion system. Characteristics of the models, the various algorithms used in them, and system integration issues are also reviewed. In addition, example cases of digital models in source code are provided for several methodologies.

Shared Memory Interface for Gas Turbine Engine Performance Programs

2023-03-23
CURRENT
ARP7998
This is an initial release of a recommended practice for an interface to supplier simulations that utilize traditional inter-process communication (IPC) methods of shared memory and semaphore communications. These IPC methods are standard practice in the computer science world and allow for communication by separate processes running on a computer without any common runtime requirements. This allows things like 32-bit applications to talk with 64-bit applications, as well as any other compiler version or runtime library dependencies being required by the calling program to interface with the called model. This also allows the calling program and the called program to be run on separate CPUs to allow parallel execution of the called program as well as multiple instances of the called program to execute all on separate processors.

Function-Based API for Gas Turbine Engine Performance Programs

WIP
ARP4868D

The SAE Aerospace Standard document AS681 is the parent document of this SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP). AS681 applies to Engine programs written to conform to this document. This ARP specifies a set of functions and their expected behaviors that constitute a function based Application Program Interface (API) for gas turbine engine customer programs. The functions specified in this API are delivered by the Supplier as part of the Engine model.

This document defines generic language independent functions and specific appendices for implementations in C and Fortran.

The function based API specified in this ARP represents an alternative to the Fortran COMMON block structure, as specified in AS4191, historically used to communicate with an engine program. The customer may request emulation of the AS4191 interface if desired.

The main body of this document contains a description of each of the API function calls and of the data that passes through these functions. Implementations of this API in specific programming languages are contained in separate appendices. These appendices include language specific details and the definitions for each function as required for the given language. AS681 is the parent document of ARP4868. All of AS681 applies to customer engine programs written to conform to this document.

GAS TURBINE ENGINE STEADY STATE PERFORMANCE PRESENTATION FOR DIGITAL COMPUTER PROGRAMS

1982-10-01
HISTORICAL
AS681D
Steady state engine performance programs discussed in this Standard will be confined to two basic performance categories: preliminary design or specification. Preliminary design programs may vary in scope, but will be representative of the defined engine performance until the engine is defined by a specification. A specification program will accurately represent the engine described by the specification and will identify the appropriate model specification. Normally, the computer program will be the primary source of performance data. Two additional categories of program are status and data reduction interface programs, which are covered by ARP 1211 and 1210 respectively.

This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) provides the method for presentation of gas turbine engine steady-state and transient performance calculated using computer programs. It also provides for the presentation of parametric gas turbine data including performance, weight, and dimensions computed by computer programs. This standard is intended to facilitate calculations by the program user without unduly restricting the method of calculation used by the program supplier. This standard is applicable to, but not limited to the following program types: data reduction, steady-state, transient, preliminary design, study, specification, status, and parametric programs.

Definition of Commonly Used Day Types (Atmospheric Ambient Temperature Characteristics Versus Pressure Altitude)

2023-11-16
CURRENT
AS210
“Hot Day”, “Tropical Day”, “Standard Day”, “Polar Day”, and “Cold Day” are part of the lexicon of the aircraft industry. These terms are generally understood to refer to specific, generally accepted characteristics of atmospheric temperature versus pressure altitude. There are also other, less well-known days, defined by their frequency of occurrence, such as “1% Hot Day”, “10% Cold Day”, or “Highest Recorded Day”. These temperature characteristics have their origins in multiple sources, including U.S. military specifications which are no longer in force.
