Abstract:The effects of cross flow and fluctuating cross flow on the aerodynamic performance of multirotor drone propellers were investigated by using wind tunnel testing and numerical simulations. Three hovering propellers were examined and were designed based on Adkins and Liebeck theory with modifications. Thrust coefficient πΆ and power coefficient πΆ of each propeller were experimentally measured and Figure of Merit πΉπ was evaluated. From the cross flow experiments and numerical simulations, πΆ , πΆ and πΉπ cal… Show more
