Aerodynamic analysis and modeling of coaxial ducted fan aircraft with the ceiling effect

In this study, a novel coaxial ducted aircraft structure is considered, based on which the flow field with the ceiling effect under different vertical velocities and heights is obtained by exploiting the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) numerical calculation methods. Taking into account the ceilin...
