Abstract
Providing the restart capability of engine in flight is an important certification requirement applied to engine units of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles oriented to ensuring flight safety with a given level of technical characteristics. It is important to perform preliminary analysis and evaluation of gas turbine engine parameters at the start-up and windmill modes before rig and flight tests. The work presents a method for computation of the windmill modes of gas turbine engines based on the use of analytical and numerical methods. The Numeca Fine/Turbo software package was used to calculate the maps of turbomachines at the sub-idle modes. The solution of the system of nonlinear equations for computing the start-up and windmill modes is carried out using the combined Newton-Nelder-Mead method. The application of the method is demonstrated by a mixed flow two-shaft turbojet.
