Novel Methods for Rotorcraft Engine Propulsion

这个博士项目的目的是提供建模能力的预测安装发动机的性能特点，在整个设计和服务寿命的旋翼机。这将通过开发一种能够快速预测已安装旋翼机发动机的空气动力性能的新方法来实现。这个框架将包括一个新的方法参数几何定义的旋翼机发动机部件，如进气道，管道和排气。所设计的方法将与直升机综合分析、计算流体动力学（CFD）、数据分析、降阶建模和多目标优化（MOO）的最先进工具相结合。

This PhD project aims to deliver modelling capability for the prediction of installed engine performance characteristics, throughout the design and service-life of rotorcraft. This will be accomplished with the development of a novel approach able to predict the aerodynamic performance of installed rotorcraft engines in a rapid manner. This framework will encompass a novel method for the parametric geometry definition of rotorcraft engine components such as intakes, ducts, and exhausts. The devised method will coupled with state-of-the-art tools for helicopter comprehensive analysis, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), data analytics, reduced-order modelling, and Multi-Objective Optimisation (MOO).
