Investigation of the Aerodynamic Characters of Ducted Fan System
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper investigates the aerodynamic characters of a model ducted fan system, analyses the basic principle of the effect of thrust promotion and torque reduction, discovers the relationship between the revolutions per minute(RPM) of the fan and the characters of thrust, as well as system torque. Firstly a model ducted fan has been designed and manufactured according to the specific structure of flow field, then CFD simulation has been carried out to analyze such aerodynamics, finally bench tests have been used to validate the simulation results and system configuration. Keywords—ducted fan, free vortex flow, stator blade, screw torque, thrust increase

Improving Control System Effectiveness for Ducted Fan Vtol Uavs Operating in Crosswinds
A valuable new resource being developed for today’s soldier are small ducted fan VTOL UAVs. Although beneficial in many ways, a major operational problem of ducted fan vehicles is precise control when flying in crosswinds and turbulent conditions in general. There are two significant, inherent issues associated with ducted fan control in crosswinds; 1) lateral momentum drag and 2) a duct stabil...
متن کاملCFD Study of an Annular-Ducted Fan Lift System for VTOL Aircraft
The present study aimed at assessing a novel annular-ducted fan lift system for VTOL aircraft through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations. The power and lift efficiency of the lift fan system in hover mode, the lift and drag in transition mode, the drag and flight speed of the aircraft in cruise mode and the pneumatic coupling of the tip turbine and jet exhaust were studied. The resu...
متن کاملAggressive maneuvering of a thrust vectored ying wing : A receding horizon approach 1
This paper deals with the control of a thrust vec-tored ying wing known as the ducted fan, developed at California Institute of Technology. The experiment was developed to serve as a testbed for nonlinear control design. In an earlier paper, the authors reported simulation results based on a sim-pliied (no aerodynamics involved) planar model of the ducted fan around hover position. In this pape...

متن کاملA Near-Hover Adaptive Attitude Control Strategy of a Ducted Fan Micro Aerial Vehicle with Actuator Dynamics
The aerodynamic parameters of ducted fan micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) are difficult and expensive to precisely measure and are, therefore, not available in most cases. Furthermore, the actuator dynamics with risks of potentially destabilizing the overall system are important but often neglected consideration factors in the control system design of ducted fan MAVs. This paper presents a near-hov...
