The adoption of ultra-high bypass ratio (UHBPR) engines has been long recognised to bring
about reduction of specific fuel consumption and noise emission. In the need to fulfil …

The aim of this review paper is to collect and discuss the most relevant and updated
contributions in the literature regarding studies on new or non-conventional technologies for …

A growing research trend in additive manufacturing (AM) calls for layerwise anomaly
detection as a step toward enabling real-time process control, in contrast to ex situ or …

This paper describes a new conceptual framework for three-dimensional turbomachinery
flow analysis and its use to assess fan stage attributes for mitigating adverse effects of inlet …

For many aerodynamic design tasks, a key challenge is the balance between the non-
linearity of the transonic flow, the inherent 3D nature of the geometry and flow field, the …

Unconventional configurations and innovative propulsion technologies have been
continuously developed for reducing both fuel-burn and global net carbon emissions. This …

This work presents a combined experimental and numerical investigation of the effect of
wing integration on the aerodynamic behaviour of a typical large civil aero-engine exhaust …

The application of composite fans enables disruptive design possibilities but increases
sensitivity to multi-physical resonance between aerodynamic, structure dynamic and …

A tool to create parametric aerodynamic shapes using intuitive design variables based on
class shape transformation (CST) curves is presented. To enable this, a system has been …

Future turbo-fan engines are expected to operate at low specific thrust with high bypass
ratios to improve propulsive efficiency. Typically, this can result in an increase in fan …
