Development of Test Bed for Open Rotor Evaluation
All applications must be submitted in Zintellect
Description:
NASA’s goals are to investigate more efficient, cleaner, and quieter commercial aircraft propulsion concepts. These concepts need to be evaluating quicky and accurately. NASA requires a low-cost flexible test bed to conduct these evaluations and whishes to modify an existing ducted fan test bed to operate in an un-ducted version. (The Advanced Noise Control Fan, which is owned by NASA, and operated by the University of Notre Dame Turbomachinery Lab). Familiarity with and prediction tools for aerodynamic, aeromechanic, and aeroacoustics design considerations is required. This post-doc position will support the design and implementation of the conversion of the ANCF to un-ducted operation.
