As the aviation industry seeks sustainable propulsion solutions, innovative technologies have emerged, among which rim-driven fan (RDF) systems hold notable promise. This comprehensive review paper deeply investigates RDF technology, uncovering its principles, benefits, and transformative potential for aviation propulsion. Amid escalating concerns about greenhouse gas emissions, the aviation sector’s shift towards electric propulsion has gained impetus. RDF technology has emerged as a beacon of optimism, heralding the prospect of energy-efficient and eco-conscious air travel. Navigating the slower development pace of RDF technology for aerospace applications, this paper draws insights from analogous marine technologies and relevant literature. Merging these realms, this paper meticulously examines RDF systems, spotlighting their unique attributes, with particular emphasis on the rim-driven configuration and its fundamental design principles. This review delves into the progressive strides accomplished in RDF’s evolution, encompassing the spectrum from evolving electric motor variants to intricate design considerations, strategic noise and vibration management, innovative control methodologies, advancements in bearing technology, and the strategic integration of finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for comprehensive performance optimization. In the context of aviation’s electrification journey, the exploration of RDF technology marks a pivotal inflection point. This paper concludes by succinctly encapsulating pivotal insights, accentuating RDF technology’s central role in reshaping aviation’s propulsion paradigm. As the aviation sector charts a course towards sustainable progress, the lessons gleaned from RDF technology are poised to chart the trajectory of aviation’s environmental transformation.

“…It consists in assimilating this medium to a solid with equivalent conductivity λ eq . Several formulas and assumptions have been used in the literature [13,23,24] to calculate the equivalent conductivity of the medium. In this article, the used model is the one proposed by [23] and whose expression is:…”

“…It can also be noted that thanks to the rim-driven structure, the turbine can be shaftless. Some comparative studies [8][9][10][11][12][13] confirm that the Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) is the most suitable for designing a rim-driven system, so the earlier studies aim to improve its performance by optimizing space, maximizing torque or increasing motor efficiency. In PM synchronous machines, the use of the Halbach array in the rotor provides several advantageous features.…”

“…The rated speed of the inducer, which has been designed for this application, is 5000 rpm, and its rated torque is 10 Nm. A first optimal design of PMSM with classical surface-mounted magnets was proposed in a previous study presented in [13]. In this classical design, as the back EMF was not sinusoidal, the electromagnetic torque oscillations reached 20%, which may disturb the operation of the inducer.…”

This document deals with the design of a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) to peripherally drive a counter-rotating pump inducer. The motor/pump is associated using a rim-driven principle where the motor’s active parts are located at the periphery of the inducer blades. It proposes using a Halbach array of permanent magnets for the active rotor of the motor. This solution allows the generation of a Sinusoidal Electromotive Force (EMF). Therefore, a more stable electromagnetic torque is reached. An optimum geometry suitable for the inducer specifications while respecting operational constraints is determined. The obtained geometry is then simulated using the Finite Element Method. The results are satisfactory in terms of average torque and EMF waveform. Use of the Halbach array allows a significant improvement of the flux density in the air gap compared to a designed surface-mounted machine. The experimental validation will be performed once the prototype is realized in the Laboratory of Fluid Engineering and Energy systems (LISFE).
