2D airfoil shape optimisation for unsteady inflow

Propeller propulsion systems combined with Boundary layer ingestion (BLI) have been proposed as a propulsive system to reduce the CO2 emissions of aircraft by 50% by 2050. BLI leads to increased disturbances at the propeller disk and causes more noise due to the fluctuating blade loading. Using the APPU project as a test case, unsteady inflow is...
