TITLE : HELICOPTER ENGINE AIR-INTAKE - CONICAL DESIGN

BY : CHAM Consultancy Team - E N Jal
FOR : Demonstration case
DATE : 1991
PHOENICS Version : 1.6.6

DETAILS :

• Three-Dimensional, Steady flow
• Curvilinear (BFC), C-Type computational grid
• Compressible, Isothermal and Turbulent flow with K-E turbulence model
• Uniform air-flow into engine and gearbox
• Prescribed empirical pressure-drop across filter tubes

NOTES :

• Air flow through a conical filter fitted in front of helicopter engine
• Model predicts overall flow characteristics, drag forces and pressure recovery at engine intake face.
