Numerical Investigation of Inlet Induced Distortions of a Turbofan Engine Within an Indoor Test Facility

Approach for an Optimized Evaluation of Pressure and Swirl Distortion in S-Shaped Engine Inlet Con[|#12#|]figurations

“…The generic s-duct has been under investigation at the Institute of Jet Propulsion for several years. Numerical simulations have been presented by Muth et al 16 and experiments with a scaled model have been conducted in a scaled engine test bed by Rademakers et al 13 . It is noted that the AIP in both CFD set-ups have a diameter of 0.734 meter, which is equivalent to the inlet diameter of the MexJET turbofan engine.…”
