With the goal of decreasing the environmental impact of aircraft, ducted propellers emerge as an efficient propulsive alternative. Ducts are able to increase the thrust to power ratio of a propeller system by both producing thrust and/or lowering tip losses of propellers. In this thesis, RANS CFD simulations were used to analyse the possible...

Propellers were the first means of powered propulsion for aircraft. However the development of propellers stalled due to the growing interest in jet propulsion. Due to the growing interest in more fuel efficient and environmentally responsible aviation, propeller research is currently seeing a resurgence. <br/><br/>Wingtip-mounted propellers are...
