Implicit Large Eddy Simulation of transition to turbulence at low Reynolds numbers using a Discontinuous Galerkin method
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors predict the formation of laminar separation bubbles at low Reynolds numbers and the related transition to turbulence by means of Implicit Large Eddy Simulations with a high-order Discontinuous Galerkin method.

Boundary layer ingestion propulsion benefit for transport aircraft
David K. Hall,Arthur C. Huang,Alejandra Uranga,Alejandra Uranga,Edward M. Greitzer,Mark Drela,Sho Sato +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the physical principles of aerodynamic power savings from boundary layer ingestion propulsion and a quantitative evaluation of the boundary-layer ingestion bene... are presented. But they do not consider the impact of boundary layer insertion on the propulsion system.

Preliminary Experimental Assessment of the Boundary Layer Ingestion Benefit for the D8 Aircraft
Alejandra Uranga,Mark Drela,Edward M. Greitzer,Neil Titchener,Michael K. Lieu,Nina M. Siu,Arthur C. Huang,Gregory M. Gatlin,Judith A. Hannon +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the aerodynamic benefit of boundary layer ingestion (BLI) for the D8 transport aircraft concept was evaluated in the NASA Langley 14⇥22 Foot Subsonic Wind Tunnel and the results showed that the model BLI propulsors require 6% less electrical power at simulated cruise point.

Boundary Layer Ingestion Benefit of the D8 Transport Aircraft
Alejandra Uranga,Mark Drela,Edward M. Greitzer,David K. Hall,Neil Titchener,Michael K. Lieu,Nina M. Siu,Cécile Casses,Arthur C. Huang,Gregory M. Gatlin,Judith A. Hannon +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the experimental assessment of the aerodynamic benefit of boundary layer ingestion for an advanced design civil transport aircraft, the D8 "double bubble", carried out from 2010 to 2013.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of the Aerodynamic Benefit from Boundary Layer Ingestion for Transport Aircraft
TL;DR: In this paper, boundary layer ingestion (BLI) was used to generate a propulsive force with lower flow power input than conventional engines, and the aerodynamic benefit can be traced back to its sources: reducti...
