Abstract: Over recent years, engine designs have moved increasingly toward low specific thrust cycles to deliver significant specific fuel consumption (SFC) improvements. Such fan blades may be more prone to aerodynamic and aeroelastic ...

Abstract: The original Spalart–Allmaras (SA) model is known to predict premature stall when applied to fan or compressor, which is in line with the observation of other researchers who use the SA model. Therefore, to improve the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the effects of inlet disturbance caused by crosswind on a fan blade operation and addresses the possible aerodynamic instabilities, which can arise for such a fan-intake system. The work is carried ...

Abstract: Sweep in a transonic fan is conventionally used to reduce design point losses by inclining the passage shock relative to the incoming flow. However, future low pressure ratio fans operate to lower Mach numbers meaning the ...

Abstract: This paper investigates the flow near the stall boundary for a low-speed/low-pressure ratio fan. Three-dimensional, Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes computations are performed for a modern low speed fan rig for which extensive ...

Abstract: The tip clearance size has historically been considered to be the main factor affecting stability range in axial fan and compressors. This paper reveals that the stall characteristics are defined by the axial momentum flux ...

Abstract: Fans that are designed to maintain thrust at the high angle of attack (AOA) flight condition could exploit the cruise fuel burn benefit of a shorter intake design. This article considers how the fan rotor radial pressure ...

Abstract: To develop a novel endovascular chemotherapy filter (CF) able to remove excess drug from the blood during intraarterial chemotherapy delivery (IAC), thus preventing systemic toxicities and thereby enabling higher dose IAC. ...
