First ENODISE Public Workshop
Experimental and Numerical Setups for New Databases on Disruptive Airframe-Propulsion Integration Concepts
Digital Event

ENODISE is aimed at reducing aircraft noise and gaseous-polluting emissions through novel aircraft architectures. These feature a much tighter integration of the propulsion system with the airframe than in conventional aircraft. Complex aerodynamic and acoustic engine-airframe interactions result, which must be better understood to achieve the envisaged benefits. ENODISE investigates the key aeroacoustic installation effects at low TRL level, and provides a solid background of knowledge and methods, based on simplified but typical configurations, allowing several integration solutions to be evaluated.

 

The first public workshop will present the research developed within the ENODISE project, addressing Boundary Layer Ingestion (BLI) propulsion systems, Distributed Electric Propulsion (DEP) systems, and multi-copter propulsion systems. For each category, generic laboratory mock-ups have been devised, which will be investigated using advanced experimental and numerical techniques. This will lead to new integration guidelines and publicly available benchmark datasets supporting the development of novel aircraft systems.

This workshop will detail the design and instrumentation of the new experimental mockups, together with the simulations developed to generate complementary numerical datasets. The workshop will also address formats and documentation strategies of the future databases. Vivid interactions with the public will be expected in order to enhance the relevance of the research outputs and of the benchmark datasets in particular.
