CFD simulation of NASA HL-CRM with powered UHBPR nacelle

The subject of the thesis is related to the development of CFD models for the simulation of UHBPR turbofans installed configurations at high-incidence. The High-Lift version of the NASA Common Research Model (CRM-HL) has been analyzed by generating unstructured meshes according to the 4th AIAA CFD High Lift Prediction Workshop (HLPW-4) guidelines. The results achieved using Ansys Fluent commercial software are analyzed. In particular, take-off conditions (ground level, M=0.26) of the High Lift version of the Common Research Model (CRM-HL) have been studied. The data generated at increasing angle of attack have been analysed in terms of flow field and propulsive forces to highlight the interaction between the engine and the airframe.
