Numerical investigation of high speed propeller under boundary layer ingestion conditions

This thesis investigates the aerodynamic behavior of a transonic propeller operating in free flow and under Boundary Layer Ingestion (BLI) conditions. Through three-dimensional CFD , the interaction between the propeller and a non-uniform boundary layer were analyzed. The study aims to assess the influence of these operating conditions on aerodynamic performance and load distribution, offering a framework for future advancements in the design of high-efficiency propulsion systems.
