CFD zonal modeling of leading-edge ice effects for a complete aircraft

A simplified, uncoupled zonal procedure was utilized to assess the capability of numerically simulating icing effects on a Boeing 727-200 aircraft. The computational approach combines potential flow, plus boundary layer simulations by VSAERO for the un-iced aircraft forces and moments, with Navier-Stokes simulations by ARC3D for the incremental forces and moments due to iced components. These are compared with wind tunnel longitudinal force and moment data. Although the computational results compared favorably with the test data in the linear angle of attack range, it is clear that for general aircraft icing calculations, a multiblock Navier-Stokes code will be required for the viscous component of this zonal method.

Moving body overset grid methods for complete aircraft tiltrotor simulations

A hypothetical, but realistic, set of flight conditions for the V-22 aircraft is established to facilitate rigorous testing of a new domain connectivity algorithm, and to carry out an overset grid proof-of-concept tiltrotor simulation. Relative motion and interference effects between the V-22 airframe and rotor-blades are directly simulated within the context of an unsteady, thin-layer Navier-Stokes computation. The domain connectivity algorithm is verified to perform at rates equal to or greater than those realized previously for store-separation-like applications. The feasibility of carrying out unsteady Navier-Stokes analyses of rotorcraft problems is demonstrated.

Axial-slot Air Admission for Controlling Performance of a One-quarter-annulus Turbojet Combustor and Comparison with Complete Engine

An investigation of a single-annulus turbojet combustor with slot-type air admission was conducted to demonstrate the application of certain design principles to the control of outlet-gas temperature distributions. Comparisons of performance of a one-quarter-annulus combustor (duct-type installation) and a full-annulus combustor (obtained in a full-scale turbojet engine) are presented to indicate the applicability of results obtained from combustion studies conducted in duct-type installations. A reasonable correlation existed between the performance of the one-quarter-annulus and full-annulus combustors except for temperature distribution. Sufficient trends did exist which made it possible to predict temperature distributions for the engine, although absolute correlation did not exist. A radial temperature distribution similar to that required for a given engine was obtained using a one-quarter-annulus duct-type setup to predict results.
