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

Boatto, Umberto (author), Bonnet, Paul A. (author), Avallone, F. (author), Ragni, D. (author)Blade Element Momentum Theory (BEMT) -based approaches provide 15%–20% inaccurate load predictions under uniform steady inflow. Inaccuracies were related to unclear aerodynamic mechanisms causing the Prandtl Tip-Root Loss (TRL) correction to fail at high Tip-Speed Ratio (TSR) and the ambiguous drag coefficient treatment under Stall Delay (SD)...journal article 2023

Tambe, S.S. (author), Schrijer, F.F.J. (author), Gangoli Rao, A. (author), Veldhuis, L.L.M. (author)Boundary-layer instability on a rotating cone induces coherent spiral vortices that are linked to the onset of laminar–turbulent transition. This type of transition is relevant to several aerospace systems with rotating components, e.g., aeroengine nose cones. Because a variety of options exist for the nose-cone shapes, it is important to...journal article 2023
