Abstract: Heat Capacity Mapping Mission (HCMM) data for 12 May 1978 were used in an energy balance modelto estimate evapotranspiration in sub-Arctic Alaska following snowmelt. The HCMM scene contained severalareas of melting snow ...

Abstract: This paper describes a new conceptual framework for three-dimensional turbomachinery flow analysis and its use to assess fan stage attributes for mitigating adverse effects of inlet distortion due to boundary layer ingestion ...

Abstract: Applications such as boundary-layer-ingesting (BLI) fans and compressors in turboprop engines require continuous operation with distorted inflow. A low-speed axial fan with incompressible flow is studied in this paper. The ...

Abstract: This paper presents an assessment of the effect of nonaxisymmetric fan exit guide vanes (FEGVs) to mitigate, or even reduce to zero, the impact of circumferential flow distortion—such as created by boundary layer ingestion ...

Abstract: This article presents first-of-a-kind measurements, and complementary computations, of the flow through the propulsion system of a boundary layer ingesting, twin-engine advanced civil transport aircraft configuration. The ...
