Design and analysis of reengine Boeing 727-100 center inlet S duct by a reduced Navier-Stokes code

This paper describes the application of a three-dimensional reduced Navier-Stokes code to perform design and analysis of the reengine Boeing 727-100 center engine inlet S duct. This computer code is shown to be cost effective, accurate and easy to use to design the optimal S duct geometries, predict its aerodynamic performance and provide the detailed flowfield information.

A study on vortex flow control on inlet distortion in the re-engined 727-100 center inlet duct using computational fluid dynamics

Computational fluid dynamics was used to investigate the management of inlet distortion by the introduction of discrete vorticity sources at selected locations in the inlet for the purpose of controlling secondary flow. These sources of vorticity were introduced by means of vortex generators. A series of design observations were made concerning the importance of various vortex generator design parameters in minimizing engine face circumferential distortion. The study showed that vortex strength, generator scale, and secondary flow field structure have a complicated and interrelated influence on the engine face distortion, over and above the initial geometry and arrangement of the generators. The installed vortex generator performance was found to be a function of three categories of variables: the inflow conditions, the aerodynamic characteristics associated with the inlet duct, and the design parameters related to the geometry, arrangement, and placement of the vortex generators within the outlet duct itself.

Design and analysis of vortex generators on reengined Boeing 727-100QF center inlet S-duct by a reduced Navier-Stokes code

This paper describes the application of a three dimensional reduced Navier-Stokes code to perform design and analysis of vortex generators on a reengined Boeing 727-100QF center engine inlet S duct. This computer code with vortex generators modeling is shown to be cost-effective, accurate and easy to use to design the optimal vortex generators installed on a S-duct, predict its aerodynamic performance and provide the detailed flow field information.
