Boundary-layer ingestion (BLI) has been proposed as one of the novel airframe–engine integration technologies to reduce aircraft fuel consumption. The current numerical analysis involves the evaluation of the effect of fuselage design on the power consumption of a boundary-layer ingesting propulsor modeled as an actuator volume without nacelle. An axisymmetric fuselage model is used as a canonical case to study BLI in transonic flight conditions. The flowfield is investigated through the power balance and the exergy analysis methods. Results show that the fuselage geometry and flight conditions only have a minor effect on the BLI power saving benefit when compared to the effect on the drag power of the fuselage. This indicates that, for the range of fuselage geometries and flight conditions studied, the isolated fuselage drag can be used for a qualitative performance assessment of different fuselage designs even for BLI configurations. Also, the power saving results obtained based on the power balance and the exergy analysis methods show similar qualitative trends for the fuselage geometries and flight conditions considered. Furthermore, the BLI propulsor has a negligible effect on the upstream anergy generation rate. Turbulence and temperature gradients within the flow are the important reasons for the deterioration of the BLI propulsor performance as expected.
