| Description |
The modern day regional transport aircrafts are designed for high fuel efficiency. One way to achieve this is by optimized turboprop configurations. A prerequisite for this optimization is the detailed knowledge of the development of the wake flow field behind the propeller. An experimental study was conducted to map the velocity field behind the powered propeller model using hot-wire anemometry in the 1.5m low speed wind tunnel at NAL. The objective is to study the development of the wake behind the propeller and assess the effect of the wake on the wing. Phase-matched velocity survey of the flow field behind the propeller using hot-wire anemometry shows the development of wake with distance and very interesting flow features.
