– The purpose of this paper is to identify efficient methods and tools for the design of distributed propulsion architectures.
– Multi-objective computational aerodynamic design optimisation of an S-Duct shape.
– Both duct pressure loss and flow distortion through such a duct can be reduced by wall-curvature changes.
– Initial simplified study requires higher fidelity computational fluid dynamics & design sensitivity follow-up.
– Shape optimisation of an S-Duct intake can improve intake efficiency and reduce the risk of engine-intake compatibility problems.
– Potential to advance lower emissions impact from distributed propulsion aircraft.
– Both the duct loss and flow distortion can be simultaneously reduced by significant amounts.
