Outline of Final Research Achievements

Tip-driven electric fans have been investigated as a propulsion fan configuration for aircraft. The fan differs in the structural load configuration in the fan blade compared with the conventional fans. A structural and fluidic investigation for two baseline cases was investigated. Results show that the shroud with finite fillet radius gives lower performance, both in terms of pressure ratio and efficiency. For structural standpoint, there is an optimum shell thickness for each fan design baselines.
An instability suppression mechanism with tip-located electromagnetic device is proposed. The study presents description of analytical and experimental investigations using a simplified single blade model with a tip-located electromagnetic force mechanism. Force mechanisms of three types are proposed and compared. Results show that the force input on the occasion of simulated-blade instability, phase shift, and suppression of the instability can be attained using the proposed mechanism.
