Abstract: Despite advances in computational power, the cost of time-accurate flows in axial compressor and fan stages with spatially non-uniform inflow is still too high for design-stage use in industry. Body force modeling reduces ...

Abstract: Body force models enable inexpensive numerical simulations of turbomachinery. The approach replaces the blades with sources of momentum/energy. Such models capture a “smeared out” version of the blades’ effect on the flow, ...

Abstract: The use of boundarylayeringesting, embedded propulsion systems can result in inlet flow distortions where the interaction of the boundarylayer vorticity and the inlet lip causes horseshoe vortex formation and the ingestion ...

Abstract: One of the major challenges in highspeed fan stages used in compact, embedded propulsion systems is inlet distortion noise. A bodyforcebased approach for the prediction of multiplepuretone (MPT) noise was previously ...
