Composite fan Aerodynamic, Aeroelastic and Aeroacoustic VAlidation Rig (CA3ViAR)
The aim of the Composite fan Aerodynamic, Aeroelastic and Aeroacoustic VAlidation Rig (CA3ViAR) project is the design of a Low-Speed Fan (LSF) that will develop instabilities, which are representative for fans in ultra-high-bypass-ratio (UHBR) engines of civil aircraft. Extensive analytical and numerical simulations to generate aeroelastic instabilities at desired operating points give requirements for the structural properties of the blade. These requirements are approached by choosing a sufficient layup and material of the composite blade. During the project, extensive experimental tests to measure aerodynamic, aeroelastic and aeroacoustic performance under a wide range of operational conditions are performed. To validate the numerical methods, advanced optical measurement techniques, e.g. Digital Image Correlation (DIC) and Pressure-Sensitive Paint (PSP), are used.
