Abstract: A tool to create parametric aerodynamic shapes using intuitive design variables based on class shape transformation (CST) curves is presented. To enable this, a system has been developed which accepts arbitrary constraints ...

Abstract: The ingestion of a vortex by an aeroengine is potentially an area of concern for current and future aircraftengine configurations. However, there are very little experimental data on the characteristics of a streamwise ...

Abstract: The next generation of ultrahigh bypass ratio civil aero-engines promises notable engine cycle benefits. However, these benefits can be significantly eroded by a possible increase in nacelle weight and drag due to the ...

Abstract: Unsteady flow distortion is of interest for the development of air-breathing propulsion systems. Stochastic fluctuations can generate incompatibilities between intakes and aero-engines. Observing the extreme flow distortion ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development of an integrated approach which targets the aerodynamic design of separatejet exhaust systems for future gasturbine aeroengines. The proposed framework comprises a series of fundamental ...

Abstract: The aerodynamic performance of the bypass exhaust system is key to the success of future civil turbofan engines. This is due to current design trends in civil aviation dictating continuous improvement in propulsive efficiency ...

Abstract: This paper presents a numerical investigation of the effect of wing integration on the aerodynamic behavior of a typical large civil aero-engine exhaust system at wind-milling flow conditions. The work is based on the dual ...
