Computer Simulation of an Aircraft Environmental Control System

Aircraft environmental system is very important to the passengers. The fluid flow simulation software was used to model a passenger aircraft environment control system in this paper. Using 1D fluid flow analysis to predict the impact of possible design changes on system performance was discussed. The analysis simulates the cooling pack and the aircraft distribution system in a single model. The computer simulation shows that it is very useful to avoid problems that would otherwise be later discovered in real testing.
