Thrust and Flow Prediction in Gas Turbine Engine Indoor Sea-Level Test Cell Facilities

The principal aim of this research was to provide a detailed understanding of the performance of gas turbine engines inside indoor sea-level test beds. In particular the evaluation of both thrust correction factors and the estimation of the mass flow entering the test cell were at the core of the re...
