Abstract
The difference of the aerodynamic influence of two engine models – the Flow Through Nacelle (FTN) and With Powered Nacelle (WPN) – on BWB300 airframe is analyzed by using the 3-D unsteady compressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) computation. The results indicate that at cruise condition, the engine shape is a primary factor affecting the BWB airframe upper fuselage surface flow, the two engine models exhibit a similar aerodynamic influence on the BWB airframe. However, at takeoff condition, the two engine models’ aerodynamic influence on the airframe is different, because of the air suction caused by the WPN engine model affecting the airframe upper fuselage surface flow obviously. Moreover, at both cruise and takeoff conditions, the tube formed by the engine and airframe shape changes the surface flow under the engine and the air suction caused by the engine power accelerates the surface flow near the engine.
