Wingtip-mounted propellers installed in a tractor configuration can decrease the wing
induced drag by attenuating the wingtip vortex by the propeller slipstream. This paper …

The potentially favorable interaction of a propeller slipstream with a wingtip is a complex
problem, because of the importance of vortex interaction and viscous effects. This paper …

A novel formulation of the vortex particle method (VPM) is developed for large-eddy
simulation (LES) in a meshless scheme that is numerically stable. A new set of VPM …

The recent growth of interest in hybrid-electric and fully electric aircraft has led to a renewed
focus on the design and optimization of propeller aircraft. Considering propeller–wing …

and rapidly assess unsteady interactional aerodynamics is a shortcoming and bottleneck in …

This manuscript describes an aeroacoustic computational study on the impingement of a
tractor-propeller slipstream on the leading edge of a pylon. Both the flow and acoustic fields …

Accounting for propeller–wing interaction allows for the design of more efficient propeller
aircraft through strategic propulsion integration. In this paper, the cruise drag of a wing with a …

The impingement of a propeller slipstream on a downstream surface causes unsteady
loading, which may lead to vibrations responsible for structure-borne noise. A low-speed …

This experimental study focuses on the aerodynamic interaction between an over-the-wing
(OTW) propeller and a wing boundary layer. An OTW propeller is positioned above the …

Driven by the desire for high subsonic flight, the major focus of aircraft engine development
is on turbofan engines. However, the constant pursuit of higher propulsive efficiency …
