Aerodynamic Characteristic Analysis of UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) By Using CFD

Abstract

the paper discusses the aerodynamics behavior of a baseline design and analysis of a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle). Analysis is presented, i.e. Steady-state, three- dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) at Mach 0.1 and 0.19 on a Ranger TUAV. In this method of analysis, Lift Coefficient (CL) and Drag Coefficient (CD) are measured and compared at respective Mach numbers. Pressure contours and velocity contours are plotted and the Turbulence area is predicted from streamline view, both extracted from ANSYS ICEM CFD analysis. UAV has its own advantages such as, computerizing and autonomous without an on-board pilot by using digital and electronic system which manned aircraft don’t have. Therefore, there is no risk of loss of life and it is easier to be maintained than manned aircraft.
