GE’s Flow Simulator Increases Lifespan of BHGE’s Gas Turbine SUCCESS STORY: smart City Challenge The BHGE Secondary Flow & Heat Transfer team is dedicated to a large variety of analyses in the gas turbine design process. The scope is the estimation of the secondary air requirements for the entire turbine, including rotor, casing, flow path cooled components, bearings, etc. In addition, the team provides the boundary conditions for the thermo- mechanical analyses of the main components of the engine, such as nozzles and blades, as well as the support for estimation of the performance of the thermodynamic cycle, the thrust sensitivity for the selection of the bearing, and other side activities. Looking at hot gas path components, the aim of the thermal design process focuses mainly on
