      Abstract:The aerodynamic interference among rotors has strong affect on the lift force of the quadrotor UAV, it is necessary to study on the interference to provide a reference for the aerodynamic layout design. An equivalent actuator disk model of airplane propeller is presented, which takes into consideration such factors as such as diameter, chord,pitch and rotating speed of rotor, etc. The effectiveness of the equivalent actuator disk is established thorough increasing momentum source,calculating the different lift force of a single rotor in hover on Fluent and comparing with the experimental data. Thorough the above method, the effects of interference among rotors on lift force of quadrotor in hover is calculated that have different rotor distances. The resulted of the calculation indicates that the smaller rotor distance causes the stronger interference as well as the more loss of lift force.

      Abstract:A combined probabilistic analysis method on structural durability and damage tolerance is presented for multiple site damage-prone structure to analyze the flight structure service life and reliability in the same time. The probabilistic fracture mechanics method is used in the durability analysis. A series reliability model is presented to get a conservative estimation of economic service life under given reliability requirement. Monte-Carlo simulations are conducted in conjunction with a three-parameter lognormal probability distribution for the residual life of a structure. The reliability of the structure under different crack propagation life is obtained through life interference model. The feasibility of the method is validated with a numerical example of a collinear porous plate.

      Abstract:The Lift Fan UAV in flying wing configuration not only has the advantages of the flying wing, but also can be capable of short distance/ vertical takeoff and landing(S/VTOL). To study its aerodynamic performance is the foundation for building the dynamic of flight. In this paper, the Lift Fan UAV’ aerodynamic was studied in transition stage, and analyzed lift, drag and moment with changes of the velocity and angle of attack. Aiming at the special velocity, the reason was explained by the streamline. In addition, some method to release the fluid separation was put forward. According to the result, it can be seen that the lift, drag, and up nose moment increase with the increasing of velocity. At the same velocity, by the angle of attack going up, the lift is going up and the outer wing is the main source to get the lift. The drag decrease first and increase finally. In comparison with the normal steady flight, the up nose moment is much higher. Besides, these two medications to improve the fluid separation are simple and effective.

      Abstract (859) HTML (0) PDF 3.81 M (571) Comment (0) Favorites

      Abstract:The spring analogy method, based on the physical model, and the radial basis functions (RBFs) interpolation method, based on the algebraic method are two typical and common unstructured grid deformation methods to achieve the computing grid deformed with the moved boundary in unsteady flow simulation. In this paper, a detailed quantitative study is conducted on the deformation characteristics of the two methods. First of all, the pitching of NACA0012 airfoil is taken as an example to compare the CPU time and the maximum deformation capacity of the two methods. Furthermore, the mesh quality and cell quality contours under typical pitch angles change with pitching angles and time steps are also studied. A standard flow solver result is proposed as well. The above results show that the RBFs method is remarked with higher numerical efficiency, stronger adapting ability for large mesh deformation and higher stability for mesh quality comparing with the spring analogy method .
