Numerical investigation of aerodynamics of micro air vehicle
Aerodynamic shape is numerically studied to investigate its effect on aerodynamic performance of micro air vehicle (MAV). The steady-state incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in three-dimensions are solved employing the artificial compressibility method. Results show mat the flow at low Reynolds number is sensitive to the wing planform and leading-edge shape. Firstly, Zimmerman planform is found to be the most efficient at moderate angles of attack. Secondly, wings with tapered upper surface at leading-edge yield better performance. Thus MAV aerodynamic performance can be improved greatly by designing configuration of LAR wing properly.
