Summary: | Simulations of subsonic turbulent coaxial hot jets were conducted on two types ofunstructured grids within the framework of STAR-CCM+. The study case is based on atypical airliner turbofan engine model with a core nozzle and a fan nozzle, having a bypassratio of five. The two meshes used are a polyhedral one, suitable for complex surfaces, and atrimmed one mainly made of hexahedral cells. The sensitivity of the study case to variousinputs is attested using second and third order upwind schemes, modelling turbulence with aSST k-omega model. The project proves to be a valid feasibility study for a steady-statesolution on which an aeroacoustic analysis could be based in future works.
