Analysis of an Airdrop Motion Coupling N-S Equations with 6 DOF Motion Equations

Article Preview

Abstract:

An airdrop model with aerial carrier is carried out to simulate an airdrop test. A coupled CFD/6 DOF is designed to compute the orientation and trajectory of the airdrop model. The results show that the CFD/6 DOF coupled method is appropriate to simulate this problem with a sufficient precision. The airdrop’s motion is strongly coupled with the aerodynamic force after leaving the sliding rail and the trajectory of its CG is mainly in the symmetry of the aerial carrier. The variation of its orientation mainly rolls in X axis direction and it swings as an approximate periodic oscillation which amplitude decreases over time. The maximum angle of orientation in X axis direction is-116°in 5 seconds. The similar variation of the airdrop motion is present in different angle of attack and sideslip of the aerial carrier.
