Fluid Structure Interaction Simulation on the Bionic Airfoil of the Small Unmanned Plane

Article Preview

Abstract:

The quality and dependability of the small unmanned plane is more and more important currently. For the small unmanned plane under the conditions of Low-Reynolds, the air viscosity has relatively greater influence on its aerodynamic performance. This is one of the greatest difficulties to design a small unmanned plane. The aerodynamic performance of bionic aerofoil and NACA 4412 is contrastively analyzed while the Reynolds-Number is and by the Fluent. The computational result and the analysis show that the fluid-structure interaction is an important issue to consider while designing the small unmanned plane.
