Thermodynamic Analysis of Distributed Propulsion

open access: yes
Abstract The ability of propulsion Sources (Sources) to increase the L/D-efficiency of aircraft is highly dependent on the Sources’ locations, surrounding surface morphologies, and lost work associated with Sources’ operating points. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) calculations were performed on airfoils (i.e., 2D CFD) to provide guidelines ...
