The development and improvement of turboprop engines are one of the important tasks of modern aircraft engine building. Propeller performance significantly affects the overall efficiency of turboprop engines. An important issue is to increase the trust of the propeller or propfan. In this matter, promising energy methods for increasing lift deserve special attention. Energy methods for increasing the lift force are based on the use of additional energy from the power plant to improve the flow around the blade and increase its bearing properties. The purpose of this work is to assess the influence of the boundary layer control on the blades of a coaxial propfan on the thrust. A coaxial propfan was chosen as the object of research. The rotor fan consists of two rows of blades, the first row has eight blades, the second - six. The peripheral diameter of the blades of the propfan is the same and amounts to 4.5 m. The cruise mode of operation was selected for the study. Modeling the flow in a coaxial propfan was based on the solution of the Navier-Stokes system of equations, which was closed by the SST Gamma Theta Transition model of turbulent viscosity. The computational grid consisted of 20 million cells, type-block, structured and unstructured with an adaptation of the boundary layer. In this study, an active boundary layer control method was chosen. The boundary layer was controlled only on the blades of the first row of the propfan. In the peripheral region of the blade, an additional mass of air was blown out through the slot, at a distance of 70 % of the profile chord. Blowing out a thin jet near the blade wall to increase the flow energy serves as an effective means of controlling the flow separation and increasing the bearing capacity of the propfan blade. Analysis of the simulation of the flow in a propfan with control of the boundary layer showed that the addition of energy to the boundary layer contributes to the filling of the velocity profile in the boundary layer, leads to a decrease in resistance and an increase in the thrust of the propfan.
