Abstract

The utilization of boundary layer ingestion in combination with a turbofan engine with an ultra-high bypass ratio is regarded as one of the possible solutions to increase the energy efficiency of the aircraft as a complete system. However, this concept inevitably leads to strong coupling between the external aircraft flow and engine internal flow, associated with an increased degree of flow non-uniformity. As a consequence, the engine components experience changed matching, and their performance is dependent on the engine power settings, aircraft design and flight conditions. All of these installation effects are reflected in engine performance modeling, which can enable reliable engine performance assessment. In this context, this article investigates the sensitivity of such engines and discusses possible approaches and preliminary ideas in extending engine performance modeling.
Keywords: engine performance; engine cycle design; installation effect engine performance; engine cycle design; installation effect
