Abstract

Innovative drag reduction technologies are investigated to reduce the fuel consumption for a conventional aircraft configuration. Aircraft noise prediction technologies and the conceptual design technologies are also developed for future aircraft which achieve low noise and high efficiency.

Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System

CFD analysis are used for the understanding of aerodynamic characteristics and evaluation of the performance in the aircraft design phase. Huge calculation resources and costs were required for the high fidelity and quick response CFD analysis for the optimum aerodynamic design process on complex aircraft geometry. JSS2 can achieve those requirements, the cost and time are drastically saved on the CFD analysis.

Achievements of the Year

The aerodynamic performance of an unconventional low-noise aircraft with engines mounted over the rear-fuselage was evaluated by CFD. Comparing with the initial geometry, modifications of the rear fuselage and nacelle geometries were improved aerodynamic performance. The aerodynamic sensitivities by the rear part geometries were obtained to reduce the interference between the airframe and propulsion systems. (Fig. 1).
