- Abstract
This paper investigates a co-simulation approach through which one dimensional (1D) system simulation model of aircraft environmental control system (ECS) and three dimensional (3D) CFD model of cabin are coupled together, data exchange between typical 1D system simulation program AMESim and 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) program Fluent is completed with a developed co-simulation interface. With 1D system model of ECS and 3D CFD model of cabin built in AMESim and Fluent respectively, this paper investigates the transient temperature distribution in aircraft cabin to demonstrate the effectiveness of 1D/3D co-simulation approach, a comparison of temperature distribution calculation result between 1D/3D cosimulation and standalone 1D system simulation is fulfilled, the result indicates an obvious temperature stratification in cabin and the co-simulation method can provide more detailed information than standalone 1D system simulation. Great benefit of 1D/3D cosimulation is proved to make 1D system simulation and 3D CFD become complementary.
