Abstract:
1. A method of designing an impingement film floatwall panel system model for a combustion chamber for a gas turbine engine, comprising the steps of: creating signals representing an impingement film floatwall panel knowledge base of information having a plurality of design rule signals with respect to a corresponding plurality of parameter signals of associated elements of impingement film floatwall panels, wherein the knowledge base comprises at least one data value signal for each one of the plurality of design rule signals; entering a data value signal for a selected one of the plurality of parameter signals of an associated element of the impingement film floatwall panels; comparing the entered data value signal for the selected one of the plurality of parameter signals with the corresponding at least one data value signal in the knowledge base for the corresponding one of the plurality of design rule signals; and creating signals representative of a geometric representation of the selected one of the plurality of parameter signals of the associated element of the impingement film floatwall panels if the result of the step of comparing is such that the entered data value signal for the selected one of the plurality of parameter signals is determined to have a first predetermined relationship with respect to the corresponding at least one data value signal in the knowledge base for the selected one of the plurality of design rule signals.
