The adoption of ultra-high bypass ratio (UHBPR) engines has been long recognised to bring
about reduction of specific fuel consumption and noise emission. In the need to fulfil …

A review of helicopter rotor blade tip design technology has been carried out with a view to
undertaking subsequent computations to evaluate the performance of new tip designs. The …

Drag/thrust analysis of jet-propelled transonic transport aircraft on the basis of calculated
viscous flow is discussed. Unique definitions for viscous drag plus wave drag and for …

The aviation sector is experiencing an increasing pressure to reduce emissions via long-
term strategies for a ceaselessly growing number of flight passengers. Aircraft currently in …

An improved coupling of immersed boundary method and turbulence wall models on
Cartesian grids is proposed, for producing smooth wall surface pressure and skin friction at …

Aircraft have evolved into extremely complex systems that require adapted methodologies
and tools for an efficient design process. A theoretical formulation based on exergy …

This Paper introduces a generic force decomposition method derived from mechanical
energy conservation. A transformation from relative to absolute reference frame captures the …

The aim of this research is the identification of a unified bookkeeping and evaluation
scheme for the integrated performance analysis of a boundary layer ingesting (BLI) concept …

In recent years, a number of authors have studied entropy generation in Wells turbines. This
is potentially a very interesting topic, as it can provide important insights into the …

Pressure distribution is important information for engineers during an aerodynamic design
process. Pressure Distribution Oriented (PDO) optimization design has been proposed to …
