Abstract:The application of modeling and simulation technology greatly improves the efficiency and level of aero-engine independent research and development. First, the classification of aero-engine and its control system models and simulation methods is summarized. Then, the modeling methods of aero-engine and control system are introduced along with examples. The hardware-in-the-loop and semi-physical real-time simulation test technology of control system are mainly focused. Finally, the current challenges of modeling and simulation of engines and their control systems are analyzed and prospected.
