Nowadays, gas turbine engines (GTE) are widely used in jet engines, oil field platforms, power plants, refineries, petrochemical plants, and gas stations for power generation. One of the best strategies to manufacture GTE with higher efficiency, durability, and reliability is to employ modelling and simulation techniques. Remarkable studies have been done so far in the area of data-driven modelling of GTE, each with its own advantages and limitations. The outcome of these activities has had significant impacts on optimization and cost-cuts of design and manufacturing processes, and...
