TOWARDS THE ELECTRIC PROPULSION
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2010, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
The paper presents benefits and drawbacks of the electric propulsion for the case of a ten seat commuter aircraft. An efficiency evaluation is made for an electric version of AEROTAXI, considered as a reference. The evaluation is projected to 2020, trying to meet the expected progresses in energy storage systems

An Embedded Boundary Algorithm for Large Eddy Simulations in Complex Geometries
The paper presents a novel implementation of the embedded boundary algorithm in a Large Eddy Simulation CFD algorithm. The embedded boundary method aims at allowing the simulation of complex geometry flows on Cartesian c...
Development of a Three-Dimensional Unstructured Euler Solver for High-Speed Flows
This paper addresses the solution of the compressible Euler equations on hexahedral meshes for supersonic and hypersonic flows. Spatial discretization is accomplished by a cell-centered finite-volume formulation which em...
