Abstract

This work has been carried out within ESTRO Clean Sky 2 CfP project, whose goal was to develop an innovative future green regional aircraft configuration based on several new technologies able to match the very demanding and challenging objectives ACARE 2020 in terms of environmental impact. In details, an automatic numerical procedure for the evaluation of the detrimental effect of the propeller on transition location of a laminar turbo-prop wing is proposed here. The evaluation of transition location is based on a well-known procedure, based on the use of eN method implemented in a Linear Stability (LST) solver. The input data for the LST solver are represented by the pressure distribution as derived from high-fidelity Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stoke (RANS) solutions and the velocity profiles in the boundary layer derived from a conical formulation of the boundary layer equations.
