“…In the literature, a method that couples aerodynamic and engine performance analysis is the so-called zooming approach, mainly aimed at improving the accuracy of individual component representation in overall performance models. This improvement is achieved through CFD calculations of a turbomachinery component, which can range from one-dimensional mean line calculations [17][18][19][20], to 3D CFD simulations [21][22][23], or some intermediate levels such as 2D streamline curvature models [24]. In these contributions, CFD data is used to re-scale component maps in the performance model, hence enhancing the predictions of the latter over a specific engine operation range.…”
