Miniature Jet Engine mainly designed for small (1-3 pax) flying machines.

Started on learning OpenFOAM. Manage to create this. Everything I have learned from this can be retrofitted into the Jet Engine 3D Model. Doing some rough maths, at the same pace as the simulation below, it will take at least 2 years continuous running if I were to use machine learning optimise everything. This is impractical. Better to just have good theoretical model first then refine it.

I am now learning how to automate some of the modelling using the Fusion 360 API. I was able to recreate the work done back on October 23 and continued on to make the blades.

Started work on the Compressor Stage. Here’s what I got so far:

Learning about Jet Engine Fundamentals and Thermodynamics. Surprising how much you can find online.

What I’m thinking is that I will have a starting mesh for the chassis/shroud. The propellers (rotors/stators) for each “stage”, we use machine learning to manipulate these meshes to find the optimal geometry. But for this, I need to learn how OpenFOAM uses these meshes.
