Horsten, B.J.C. (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author)Because support interference corrections are not properly understood, engineers mostly rely on expensive dummy measurements or CFD calculations. This paper presents a method based on uncorrected wind tunnel measurements and fast calculation techniques (it is a hybrid method) to calculate wall interference, support interference and residual...conference paper 2009

Varriale, Carmine (author), Hameeteman, Kevin (author), Voskuijl, M. (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author)The aim of this research is to investigate the combined use of throttle and aerodynamic control vanes for aircraft optimal control. A new disruptive aircraft configuration concept is presented, featuring control vanes downstream of two rear-mounted ducted propellers. The aerodynamic interaction between the horizontal vane and the throttle is...conference paper 2019

Duivenvoorden, R.R. (author), Suard, Noah (author), Sinnige, T. (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author)Experiments were performed using a wall-to-wall unswept and untapered wing with a single slotted flap and a propeller, to obtain a validation dataset and gain insight into primary flow phenomena in propeller-wing-flap interactions. Measurements were taken using pressure taps, a wake rake and oil flow visualization, for several flap...conference paper 2022

Nederlof, R. (author), Kooij, R.N.F. (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author), Sinnige, T. (author)With the rise of distributed propeller concepts, there is an increased interest in quantifying the interaction between propeller slipstream and wing. It is known from literature that the local upwash induced by the propeller swirl can lead to a reduction of the wing-induced drag, a phenomenon often referred to as swirl recovery. However, at the...conference paper 2023
