Duct Flow Analysis Methods for V/STOL Propulsion System Applications

Abstract

In this interim report a selected bibliography of recent journal articles concerned with V/STOL lift/thrust vectoring/propulsion systems and with potentially attractive internal flow field computation systems is presented and discussed. Many of the flow configurations associated with V/STOL propulsion are so complex, involving asymmetric cross-sections, severe bends, offset sections, diverters, bleeds, etc., that an investigation of the real role of computational fluid dynamics in design and analysis is indicated. A specific goal should be to gain a clear understanding of the current and potential capabilities of candidate flow passage computational methods so that illusions can be destroyed and emphasis can be placed on the methods which can make a contribution now or at a predictable future time.
