Abstract: The present work is a contribution to understanding the windmilling operation of lowspeed fans. Such an operating situation is described in the literature, but the context (mainly windmilling of aeroengines) often involves ...

Abstract: This paper aims for the analysis of experimental and numerical results of windmilling flow topologies far from freewheeling condition. Two major cooling fans were investigated: a baseline design and an innovative one meant ...

Abstract: This paper aims at underlining the existence of some generic properties of windmilling flows, partially spread in the literature but never clearly stated. Two kinds of axial machines are investigated from compressor mode ...
