Abstract

The micro turbine engine (MTE) plays a vital role in the aerospace sector. However, traditional research and design models no longer suffice to accommodate the highly complex operating conditions of the MTE. Therefore, this paper briefly analyzes the concept and development process of digital twin technology and integrates it into the research and design of the MTE. This integration takes into account the recent leapfrog developments in information technology and digital intelligence technology. Utilizing digital twin technology to model the core components of the MTE allows for effective structural optimization, online monitoring, and timely problem detection in support of extending the overall lifespan of the engine. Multiple algorithms are used throughout the development, design, and usage phases of each component to merge into a cohesive whole, providing robust support for the MTE's overall development, production, and manufacturing. Digital twin technology facilitates accurate performance prediction, reliability evaluation, and advanced design optimization for the MTE. This, in turn, reduces the design cycle and research design cost more effectively. Lastly, we propose the future application and development trend of digital twin technology in the core components of the MTE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
