Thermal-Structural Analysis of Ni-Based Alloy Panel with Active Cooling Thermal Protection System

In hypersonic environments, the development of aircraft engine presents the mitigation of the extreme thermal environment inside the combustion chamber. This paper establishes the capabilities for combustor panel design. By given the key loading and boundary conditions of the panel structure, the thermal structural analysis determines temperatures and stresses and the optimization improves panel’s robustness subject to thermal mechanical loads. A parametric sweep analysis is carried and the results give the optimal value of the panel face thickness.
