Reasons and benefits of using JAXA Supercomputer System
The JSS3 is used to design a passenger aircraft equipped with an turbo-electric hybrid propulsion system. Because a huge computational resource is required to handle thermo-aerodynamics and fan blades, JSS3 is essential for the execution of this research and development.
Achievements of the Year
In this fiscal year, aerodynamic shape of hybrid electric aircraft with BLI(Boundary Layer Ingestion) fans was designed. Using FaSTAR-Move with an actuator disc function as a CFD solver, analysis was carried out by changing the shapes of fuselage tail, BLI fan nacelle, and tail wing.(Figure1, Figure2)
