Abstract: The performance and aerodynamic stability of fan blades operating in a circumferentially nonuniform inlet flow is a key concern in the design of turbofan engines. With the recent trends in the design of civil engines with ...

Abstract: The aim of this research is to study the stall and recovery behavior of a transonic fan stage with and without inlet distortion. For this purpose, simulations of the stall and recovery process of NASA stage 67 are performed ...

Abstract: Abrupt distortions can appear as a result of transient crosswind or during rapid aircraft maneuvers. Such distortions are known to reduce the aerodynamic stability of engines and therefore present a major concern to all ...
