3AF 2020+1 congress : isolated vs wind tunnel nacelle

InVIGO will present results during 3AF 2020+1 congress in April 2021. Results regarding ground vortex on both isolated nacelle and wind tunnel configuration will be compared. The paper is a common Altran/CSTB article and will describe the experimental set-up in addition with numerical results. Similar ground vortex results are obtained for the chosen operating point. […]

First test campaign held successfully

First InVIGO test campaign was successfully carried out in CSTB facilities in December 2020. More than 10 days of wind tunnel tests allowed acquiring a lot of vortex data on around 50 wind/ground clearance configurations. The 250 kW fan permitted to reproduce required engine flows for all expected combinations of engine intake and crosswind velocities. […]

Methodology activities related to Wind Tunnel testing and CFD

First methodology activities related to Wind Tunnel testing and CFD have been carried out by CSTB and ALTRAN. Corresponding reports will be delivered soon. Many interesting conclusions were drawn : Unsteady simulations have to be considered for some operating points Complementary ground vortex capture methods have been set up Cutting-edge visualization means will be effectively […]
