Abstract: Abstract. The stronger coupling between the turbomachinery and the air inlet becomes more relevant in next-generation turbofan engines with low-pressure ratio fans and compact nacelles. This study presents a numerical ...

Abstract: The present paper focuses on the numerical modeling approaches adopted in boundary layer ingestion (BLI) studies. Three driving aircraft concepts have been identified, namely propulsive fuselage concept (PFC), rear engines ...

Abstract: Gas turbine off design performance prediction is strictly dependent on the accuracy of compressor and turbine map characteristics. Experimental data regarding component maps are very difficult to find in literature, since ...
