Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present CFD computation of a LET L-410 engine nacelle equipped with a Walter M-601E turboprop engine. The main purpose is to estimate the air intake fluid characteristics of different air intake geometries. The results of these computations are part of an optimisation process focused on increasing the performance and reducing the losses in the ‘engine - nacelle` system. A problem with flow separation in the input section was observed. This project is supported by Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Czech Republic.
