Computations of Torque-Balanced Coaxial Rotor Flows

چکیده
Interactional aerodynamics has been studied for counter-rotating coaxial rotors in hover. The effects of torque balancing on the performance of coaxial-rotor systems have been investigated. The three-dimensional unsteady Navier-Stokes equations are solved on overset grids using high-order accurate schemes, dual-time stepping, and a hybrid turbulence model. Computational results for an experimental model are compared to available data. The results for a coaxial quadcopter vehicle with and without torque balancing are discussed. Understanding interactions in coaxial-rotor flows would help improve the design of next-generation autonomous drones.

Design, Fabrication and Hovering Performance Study of Nano Coaxial Rotor
A nano coaxial rotor was designed, fabricated and studied experimentally at an ultralow Reynolds number ranging from 5000 to 20,000. The Minimum Induced Loss theory was employed to optimize the geometry of nano coaxial rotor with the introduction of weights to take into account the interference of upper rotor and lower rotor. The chord and twist distributions of both rotors were achieved as a r...
