Abstract EN
The aerodynamic characteristics of propeller-wing interaction for the rocket launched UAV have been investigated numerically by means of sliding mesh technology.
The corresponding forces and moments have been collected for axial wing placements ranging from 0.056 to 0.5D and varied rotating speeds.
The slipstream generated by the rotating propeller has little effects on the lift characteristics of the whole UAV.
The drag can be seen to remain unchanged as the wing's location moves progressively closer to the propeller until 0.056D away from the propeller, where a nearly 20% increase occurred sharply.
The propeller position has a negligible effect on the overall thrust and torque of the propeller.
The efficiency affected by the installation angle of the propeller blade has also been analyzed.
Based on the pressure cloud and streamlines, the vortices generated by propeller, propeller-wing interaction, and wing tip have also been captured and analyzed.
