Student Projects
Students interested in continuing the development of OpenProp are encouraged to contact Prof. Brenden Epps at Dartmouth College. Several enhancements of the code are planned:
- Implement a generalized lifting line model for design and analysis of rotors with rake and skew
- Implement compressible flow corrections
- Improve the duct geometry generation capability
- Improve the OpenProp-to-SolidWorks geometry transfer interface
- Couple the OpenProp geometry code with a lifting surface blade design code for detailed blade design
- Couple the OpenProp analysis code with turbine generator model for full power take-off system simulation
