The boundary layer on the external cowl of an aero-engine nacelle under windmilling diversion conditions is subjected to a notable adverse pressure gradient due to the interaction with a near-normal shock wave. Within the ...

Ultra high-bypass ratio engines, which show considerable promise in reducing the environmental impact of commercial aviation, generally adopt slim fan cowl profiles. These geometries can be more sensitive to separation on ...

The slim fan cowl profiles used for ultra-high bypass ratio aircraft engines are designed considering off-design operating conditions, such as engine windmilling during take-off climb out or during cruise. The current paper ...

Ultra high-bypass ratio aircraft engines adopt slim fan cowl profiles which are sensitive to separation on their external surfaces under diversion windmilling conditions, when engine shutdown occurs during cruise. A ...
