Turbofan flowfield simulation using Euler equations with body forcesA method for flow computations around ducted propfans is presented. The approach is to use the body force terms in the three-dimensional Euler equations to model the propeller. Numerical solutions are compared with experimental data for three ducted propfan configurations for different flow conditions.
