    Studies on Thick Aerofoils at Subsonic Speeds for a Civil Transport Wing

    By Manjunath I.B., Venkatesh M. Kulkarni, Mallik Prasad N.S., Pradeep G.V.

    Abstract: Airfoils are the most important elements of an aircraft wing, having a chord length a camber and a thickness distribution. Traditionally, airfoils were being developed by empirical methods taking considerable support from wind tunnel testing. The ratio of lift to drag indicates the efficiency of an aerofoil. The purpose of this study is to adequately acquaint, as a first step, with a validated vertex lattice method code, the X-foil for …

    Fluid Flow Analysis and Flow Path Optimization of a Centrifugal Fuel Injector for a Turboshaft Aero Engine

    By Manjunath I B, Venkatesh M. Kulkarni, Shrutika Dargopatil

    Abstract: The present work of optimization is made for specific dimensions of a rotary fuel injector used in two of the high-performance defense helicopter’s gas turbine engines, presently. The need for doing this study is to meet the thermal design requirements of limiting the combustion chamber temperatures to an optimum designed value which heavily depends on finely divided homogeneous droplet sizes, the SMD (Sauter Mean Diameter) of the fuel that is …
