    Job description
    The PhD candidate position is within the CleanSky 2 Project sponsored by the European Commission within the H2020 framework program. The Ph.D. research would be dedicated to creating a model framework for designing and performance evaluation of the distributed hybrid electric propulsion system, with a focus on investigating the effect of non-uniformities in the flowfield on a propulsor.
    
    New aircraft concepts are pushing the limits of aircraft engine integration in the pursuit of reducing the aircraft fuel burn to make aviation more sustainable. Many of these concepts rely on exploiting hybrid electric propulsion system with distributed propulsors to increase the synergy between aircraft and propulsion system. These propulsors rely on the intake of the low momentum boundary layer (from wing or fuselage) to enhance their propulsive efficiency. However, the effect of such non-uniformities on the propulsor is not well known and need to be analysed. Moreover, the strategies to mitigate the penalties due to non-uniform flowfield should be investigated. The main aim of the Ph.D. study is to create a modelling framework for designing hybrid electric propulsion system (HEPS) address the above-mentioned challenges in propulsion integration.
    
    The Ph.D. candidate should spearhead the following tasks within the Novair project

    •  Design a modelling framework for hybrid electric propulsion system
    •  Modelling various components and modules for HEPS
    •  Evaluate performance of HEPS for different aircraft architectures
    •  Design of distributed propulsion systems for HEPS
    •  Evaluate the effect of non-uniform flow field on propulsor performance experimentally and numerically. This includes the following subtasks:
      o define and design an experiment for a modular unshrouded propulsor to be tested in the wind tunnel to
      o get the model manufactured and instrumented
      o setup a PIV system to capture the flowfield around the propulsor
      o perform the test campaign at the open jet wind tunnel of TU delft
      o evaluate the effects of non-uniformities on the performance of propulsor
      o obtain a detailed picture of the flow field around the propulsor due to the distortion
      o evaluate the effect of non-uniformities on the acoustic of the propulsor
      o design a shroud to reduce the distortion at the fan/propulsor face
      o experimentally investigate the effect of shrouding on the fan/propulsor performance
      o create a numerical model to evaluate the effect of distortion on propulsor performance
