Experiments on vortex energy recovery by favourable interference between wing and shrouded fan

Wind tunnel tests were conducted to investi gate t he effect
of placing a propulsion fan behind the tip of a li.tting ring for
the purpose of recovering the energy in the trailing vortex.
Results indicated tha~ significant increase of thrust could be
obtained as a result of vortex energy recovery. In addition,
the pre-swirling effect provided b.r the vortex allowed the tan
to absorb more power and develop more thrust at a lower
rotational speed. / Thesis (M.S.)--Wichita State University, Dept. of Aeronautical Engineering.
