Dynamic Modelling of Gas Turbines

An extended survey of methods for the control and systems identification in gas turbines, this book reviews current methods and presents a number of new perspectives. Describes a total modelling and identification program for various classes of aeroengine, allowing you to deal with an engine s behaviour over its complete life cycle and apply the program to a real engine balancing the theory with practical use. Follows a comparative approach to the study of existing and newly derived techniques offering an informed choice of controllers and models. Presents novel work in modelling, optimal control and systems identification to help you get the most from your engine designsThe editors collect the research of three groups of internationally recognised experts. It will be of interest to academics working in aeroengine control and to industrial practitioners concerned with their design. The work presented is easily extendible to other areas in which gas turbines play a role such as power engineering.
