Aero-engine intake aerodynamic design and analysis

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Previous work at Cranfield University has developed methods for the design of intake aero-lines for podded engine configurations. These tools are being extended to three-dimensional configurations with the ultimate aim of developing a viable short intake for future ultra-high bypass ratio configurations. This related research encompasses the development of optimization methods as well as including the interaction between the fan and the intake using low-order fan models.The overall aim of the PhD research is to develop tools and design guidance in the design of short intakes in association with fan systems for future ultrahigh bypass engine configurations.
