| Abstract | In the conceptual and preliminary aircraft design phase the Free-Form Deformation (FFD) is one of various parametrization schemes to define the geometry of an engine’s nacelle. This paper presents a method that is able to create a C2 continuous periodic approximation of existing reference nacelles with the B-spline based FFD, which is a generalization of the classical FFD. The basic principle of this method is to start with a rotational symmetric B-spline approximation of the reference nacelle, which is subsequently deformed with a FFD grid that is placed around the initial geometry. A method is derived that computes the displacement of the FFD grid points, such that the deformed nacelle approximates the reference nacelle with minimal deviations. As this turns out to be a linear inverse problem, it can be solved with a linear least squares fit. To avoid overfitting effects — like degenerative FFD grids which imply excessive local deformations — the inverse problem is regularized with the Tikhonov approach. The NASA CRM model and the IAE V2500 engine have been selected as reference geometries. Both resemble nacelles that are typically found on common aircraft models and both deviate sufficiently from the rotational symmetry. It is demonstrated that the mean error of the approximation decreases with an increase of the number of FFD grid points and how the regularization affects these results. Finally, the B-spline based FFD with the classical Bernstein based FFD are compared for both models. The results conceptually prove the usability of the FFD approach for the construction of nacelle geometries in the preliminary aircraft design phase. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
