Abstract:Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) simulations were performed on an N+2 conceptual commercial supersonic transport aircraft to explore the possibility of relocating the engines from below the wings to above the wings in order to capitalize upon potential noise shielding benefits. The simulations focused on the feasibility of the top-mounted propulsion configuration in terms of inlet performance and flow separation around the nacelles at climbout conditions for both 0° and 8° angle of attack. The results sh… Show more
