Title of Dissertation : Computational Investigation of Micro - Scale Coaxial Rotor Aerodynamics in Hover
Title of Dissertation: Computational Investigation of Micro-Scale Coaxial Rotor Aerodynamics in Hover Vinod K. Lakshminarayan, Doctor of Philosophy, 2009 Dissertation directed by: Dr. James D. Baeder Department of Aerospace Engineering In this work, a compressible Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) solver is extended to investigate the aerodynamics of a micro-scale coaxial rotor configurati...
متن کاملA Computational Aerodynamics Simulation of the NREL Phase II Rotor
The work presented in this article aims to the calculation of the aerodynamic characteristics of the NREL phase II rotor that is a horizontal axis downwind wind turbine rotor and which is assumed to stand isolated in the space. The Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equations combined with the Spalart-Allmaras turbulence model that describes the three dimensional steady state flow about the wind t...
متن کاملHelicopter Rotor Unsteady Aerodynamics
Unsteady helicopter rotor aerodynamics are complicated. This paper reviews some of the fundamentals and newer developments of unsteady helicopter aerodynamics. Rotor flow is beautiful and complex. Visualizing rotor flow allows for an appreciation of the following theories and solution attempts as well as nature’s complexities. The flow through a helicopter rotor with forward motion is shown in ...
متن کاملComputational investigation of cicada aerodynamics in forward flight.
Free forward flight of cicadas is investigated through high-speed photogrammetry, three-dimensional surface reconstruction and computational fluid dynamics simulations. We report two new vortices generated by the cicada's wide body. One is the thorax-generated vortex, which helps the downwash flow, indicating a new phenomenon of lift enhancement. Another is the cicada posterior body vortex, whi...
متن کاملOn Cup Anemometer Rotor Aerodynamics
The influence of anemometer rotor shape parameters, such as the cups' front area or their center rotation radius on the anemometer's performance was analyzed. This analysis was based on calibrations performed on two different anemometers (one based on magnet system output signal, and the other one based on an opto-electronic system output signal), tested with 21 different rotors. The results we...
