Abstract

This study has been carried out to optimize the performance of a generic transport aircraft oil cooler duct. Numeca software was used to carry out this study. Propeller effects were included in the simulations. Modified oil cooler duct geometry shapes were generated by changing inlet scoop location, inlet lip shape, and outlet profile. This paper discusses the performance of oil cooler duct for these modified geometries. One possible optimized geometry was found which increases mass flow rate through oil cooler duct by 4.3%.
