Design and analysis of reengine Boeing 727-100 center inlet S duct by a reduced Navier-Stokes code

This paper describes the application of a three-dimensional reduced Navier-Stokes code to perform design and analysis of the reengine Boeing 727-100 center engine inlet S duct. This computer code is shown to be cost effective, accurate and easy to use to design the optimal S duct geometries, predict its aerodynamic performance and provide the detailed flowfield information.
