| Popis: | Modern aircraft engines must accommodate inflow distortions entering the engines as a consequence of modifying the size, shape, and placement of the engines and/or nacelle to increase propulsive efficiency and reduce aircraft weight and drag. It is important to be able to predict the interactions between the external flow and the fan early in the design process. This is challenging due to computational cost and limited access to detailed fan/engine geometry. In this, the second part of a two part paper, we apply the fan gas path and body force model design process from Part 1 to the problem of predicting flow separation over an engine nacelle lip caused by crosswind. The inputs to the design process are based on NASA Stage 67. A body force model using the detailed Stage 67 geometry is also used to enable assessment of the accuracy of the design process based approach. In uniform flow, the model produced by the design process recreates the spanwise loading distribution of Rotor 67 with a 7% RMS error. Both models are then employed to predict crosswind separation velocity. The two approaches are found to agree in their prediction of the crosswind separation velocity to within 5%. |
