A computational study is being conducted to evaluate the installation effects of ultra-high bypass ratio (BPR) nacelles on conventional twin-engine transonic transport aircraft. An unstructured Navier-Stokes flow solver, USM3D, is being utilized for the study. The results have been compared to wind tunnel data obtained in the NASA LaRC 16-Foot Transonic Tunnel, for nacelle BPRs of nine and twelve. The USM3D flow solver was found to adequately predict the flows of interest, and has subsequently been used to analyze the installation effects of a theoretical BPR-15 nacelle. In addition, a design code is being used in conjunction with USM3D to redesign the wing in the presence of the BPR-15 nacelle. The preliminary design results will be presented.
