Abstract: The prominence of highly integrated engine/airframe architectures in modern commercial aircraft design concepts has led to significant research efforts investigating the use of conventional turbofan engines in unconventional ...

Abstract: The future of aviation relies on the integration of airframe and propulsion systems to improve aerodynamic performance and efficiency of aircraft, bringing design challenges, such as the ingestion of nonuniform flows by ...

Abstract: The observed stochasticity in rebounding trajectories for particle-surface interactions in turbomachinery is often attributed to irregularities in particle shape. However, at higher speeds, plastic deformation of the surface ...

Abstract: Increased operations of aircraft, both commercial and military in hostile desert environments have increased the risk of microsized particle ingestion into engines. The probability of increased sand and dust ingestion ...

Abstract: A comprehensive experimental investigation was initiated to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of a gas turbine exhaust diffuser/collector for various strut geometries over a range of inlet angle. The test was conducted ...
