Power Balance in Aerodynamic Flows
Mark DrelaMIT Aeronautics & Astronautics
Objectives
• Quantify Mechanical Energy sources and sinks in flowfield
• Use for aerodynamic analyses, in lieu of Thrust and Drag
• Framework for configuration comparisons and evaluations
Motivation — I
• Thrust and Drag accounting is just a means to an end:Range, or Flight Power, or Fuel Consumption
• Thrust and Drag are ambiguous for integrated propulsion
• Standard performance relations become inapplicable, e.g.
PT

VTSFC
R = ln 0

T = ?
D = ?
W

⇒ Will sidestep ambiguity by relating Power to flowfield directly
Motivation — II
Want to identify . . .
• flowfield power sinks (what’s causing the loss/fuel burn?)
• power sink locations (where’s the loss?)
• opportunities of power savings (can I reduce the loss?)
and quantify . . .
• aero performance of disparate aircraft configurations and concepts
• effectiveness of BL ingestion and flow control systems
• parasite and interference drags in conventional force analysis
• etc.

• CD and Φ capture all drag-producing loss mechanismsCf and Df still leave out the pressure-drag contribution
• CD and Φ are scalars – no drag-force direction issues
• CD is strictly positive – no force-cancellation problems

• High-speed regions are very costly (Cp spikes, etc)
• Low-speed regions are innocuous (cove separation, etc)
• Local excrescense drag should be scaled with u3e, not u2

Conclusions
• Flight power calculation without drag,thrust definition
• Quantities which determine flight power clearly identified
• Compatible with traditional force-based analyses
– can frequently use established drag estimation methods
– can use existing propulsive efficiency estimates
• Formulation is exact
– does not require isolation of wakes or plumes
– no small-disturbance or low-speed approximations are used
• Is more reliable for “interference drag” situations
