CFD Analysis of UAV Flying Wing
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2016, Vol 8, Issue 3
Abstract
Numerical methods for solving equations describing the evolution of 3D fluid experienced a significant development closely related to the progress of information systems. Today, especially in the field of fluid mechanics, numerical simulations allow the study of gas-thermodynamic confirmed by experimental techniques in wind tunnel conditions and actual flight tests for modeling complex aircraft. The article shows a case of numerical analysis of the lifting surface on the UAV type flying wing.

A Coordinate Transformation for Unsteady Boundary Layer Equations
This paper presents a new coordinate transformation for unsteady, incompressible boundary layer equations that applies to both laminar and turbulent flows. A generalization of this coordinate transformation is also propo...
Direct spatial motion simulation of aircraft subjected to engine failure
This paper presents a simulation of the movement of an aircraft that has an engine malfunction. The nonlinear equations of motion are formulated taking into account the yawing moment which is generated and occurs due to...
Flutter analysis of the IAR 99 SOIM aircraft
Flutter analysis is considered for the minimum altitude at which the minimum designed Mach number is achieved, for the maximum altitude at which the maximum designed dynamic pressure is obtained and for the minimum altit...
Mathematical modeling of a V-stack piezoelectric aileron actuation
The article presents a mathematical modeling of aileron actuation that uses piezo V-shaped stacks. The aim of the actuation is the increasing of flutter speed in the context of a control law, in order to widen the flight...
Integral LQR Control of a Star-Shaped Octorotor
The paper starts by presenting the model of the star-shaped octorotor. LQR control is chosen to stabilize the attitude and altitude of the vehicle. Waypoint navigation is also implemented. Numerical simulations demonstra...
