Abstract
Conceptual design of boundary layer ingesting (BLI) aircraft requires a methodology that captures the aero-propulsive interactions in a parametric fashion. This entails modeling the impacts of BLI as a function of the airframe and propulsor design. Previous work has analyzed the sensitivity of these BLI effects to the propulsor size and throttle. This paper assesses the sensitivity of the BLI effects to the airframe design through a series of experiments, using CFD. The scope of this analysis is restricted to tube and wing type BLI concepts. Results from these studies help identify the critical airframe design space that needs to be considered when generating a parametric model of the BLI effects. Guidelines regarding the level of detail required for the airframe geometry model are discussed.
