Pr. Dragan Kozulovic obtained his degree in Aerospace Engineering from the Technical University Braunschweig in 2002. From 2003 to 2008 he worked as research engineer in CFD development, turbulence and transition modelling at DLR Institute of Propulsion Technologies, Cologne, and in 2007 he was granted his PhD on transition modelling by the Ruhr-University Bochum. From 2008 to 2013 he had been Assistant Professor for Aerodynamics of Aircraft Engines at the Technical University Braunschweig. Thereafter, from 2013 to 2022, he held the Professorship for Aircraft Engines at Hamburg University of Applied Sciences. Since April 2022 Dragan Kozulovic is Professor and Head of the Institute of Jet Propulsion, at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich. His research interests cover turbomachinery aerodynamics, jet engine cycle and integration, as well as Computational Fluid Dynamics.
Some Development Trends in Aerothermodynamics of Flight Propulsion Systems
Abstract: An overview of concepts for reduction of fuel consumption and climate impact of aircraft engines is given, together with enabling technologies. Selected concepts are presented in detail, e.g. geared turbofan, highly loaded compressors and engine-over-wing configurations. The potentials and limitations of the approaches is estimated.
