Technical Evaluation Report on Fluid Dynamics Panel Symposium on Airframe/Propulsion Interference

Abstract

The Symposium evaluated in this report was held at Rome in September 1974. Areas covered are air intakes and airframe inlet interactions; nozzles/ afterbodies flow field and airframe interference; wind tunnel testing and correlation with flight data; integration design and accounting procedures. Main recommendations are: There is urgent need for high quality afterbody pressure and force data; contradictory trends of drag with Reynolds number variation in windtunnel and flight must be resolved; the need for extended windtunnel Reynolds number capability is again demonstrated; engine simulator techniques require development and validation; theoretical treatment of mixing of afterbody and jet flows and of afterbody distortion effects must be extended; theoretical treatment of intake 'buzz' requires development.
