New generation Ultra-High Bypass Ratio (UHBR) jet engines offer better fuel efficiency. However, they also cause new challenges, for example in the bleed system. To overcome this, we will in this project use 3D CFD simulations and experiments to develop new jet pump prototypes. These will be manufactured and tested in a new test rig setup able to withstand pressures up to 5 bars and temperatures up to 200 C. Special care will be taken to make certain that the test rig can handle rapid pressure variations. The 3D CFD + experimental test results will be used for the development and tuning of simplified transient 0D and 1D jet pump models, which will help in overall system optimization.
