Power-Based Study of Boundary Layer Ingestion for Aircraft Application

Like many boys, Peijian Lv was fascinated with aircraft in his childhood. He was lucky enough to study aerospace engineering in universities. In 2007, Peijian Lv received his B.E. degree in flight vehicle propulsion engineering from Northwestern Polytechnical University, China. From the same university, he obtained his M.Sc. degree in flight vehicle design engineering in 2011. With the learned knowledge of aircraft propulsion and airframe aerodynamics, he decided to explore the domain where propulsion system and airframe are tightly integrated. Boundary Layer Ingestion is the topic for his Ph.D. study. In 2019, he obtained his Doctoral degree in aerospace engineering from Delft University of Technology, Delft, the Netherlands. Since 2020, he has been working as a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Aerospace Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing, China. His research interests focus on aircraft propulsion, aircraft aerodynamics, and airframe propulsion integration.
