Elastomeric Actuators on Airfoils for Aerodynamic Control of Lift and Drag
This paper investigates and characterizes the aerodynamic performance of a unique platform of airfoils with inflatable, elastomeric actuators. By controlling the inflation of stretchable and tough pneumatic bladders of silicone at specific locations of threedimensionally printed airfoils, experiments demonstrate it is possible to manipulate aerodynamic lift and drag. Measurements on morphable a...
متن کاملNumerical Simulation of Air Flow around the NP Car Using the Realizable k-ε Turbulence Model to Predict Aerodynamic Forces and Moments
In this study, a numerical computational fluid dynamics study is conducted in order to predict the aerodynamic forces on the NP car. The turbulent air flow around the car is modeled using the realizable k-ε model. First, results are validated against those presented for the Ahmed’s body. Next, the fluid flow around the car is simulated for different car speeds ( to mph) and fl...
متن کاملAerodynamic Performance of Biological Airfoils
Experimental studies on static, non-flapping dragonfly wings have shown favorable aerodynamic performance at low Reynolds number (Re ≤ 10,000). High lift is hypothesized to arise from the dragonfly’s pleated wing structure. A numerical study of flow past a modeled dragonfly wing section as well as its comparison to a corresponding profiled airfoil and a flat plate were conducted at Re = 10,000....
متن کاملMulti-Fidelity High-Lift Aerodynamic Optimization of Single-Element Airfoils
We describe a computationally efficient simulation-driven design methodology for single-element airfoils at high-lift conditions. Direct optimization of an accurate but computationally expensive high-fidelity simulation model based on Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations is replaced by iterative updating and re-optimization of a cheap surrogate. The surrogate model exploits a low-fidelity ...
متن کاملAlgorithm for Calculating Coordinates of Cambered Naca Airfoils at Specified Chord Locations
The equations for the NACA 4-digit and 4-digitmodified sections are in algebraic form and easily incorporated into various geometrical procedures that define a vehicle and any necessary flow field grid. The 6-series and 6A-series airfoils are more complex because they are developed by conformal mapping procedures. Even though there are computer programs available (refs 1-3) that can produce a l...
