We investigate the flow fields inside the combustor and the high-pressure turbine including the stator and moving rotors, from the Energy Efficient Engine (E3) program. We then compare the fully-coupled simulations results with the prior results from the sequential approach, where key performance metrics for the combustor and HPT are compared. The results will provide one example of the impact of performing fully-coupled combustor/HPT simulations relative to sequential (one-way coupled) combustor and HPT simulations.
