Effects of installation and interaction between multiple propellers in aircraft with distributed electric propulsion systems
Project Description: The project aims to study the effects of installation of propellers and the interaction between multiple rotors in noise generated by distributed electric propulsion aircraft. The studies are divided into two fronts: experimental and numerical. The experimental part consists of the construction of a test bench for semi-anechoic chamber tests. The numerical front of this project focuses on the development of models in Lattice-Boltzmann, through the commercial software PowerFLOW.
Coordinator/ Participants: Prof Júlio Apolinário Cordioli (coordinator); M. Eng. Lucas Araújo Bonomo (participant LVA/UFSC); Isabela Canello Resener (participant/ LVA UFSC); Prof. Andrey Ricardo da Silva (collaborator/ LVA UFSC).
Partners: EMBRAER.
