Aero-engine intake aerodynamic design and analysis

克兰菲尔德大学（Cranfield University）之前的工作已经开发出了用于设计吊舱发动机配置的进气航线的方法。这些工具正在扩展到三维配置，最终目标是为未来的超高涵道比配置开发可行的短进气道。这项相关研究包括优化方法的发展，以及使用低阶风扇模型研究风扇和进气之间的相互作用。博士研究的总体目标是开发与未来超高涵道比发动机配置的风扇系统相关的短进气道设计工具和设计指南。

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.
