Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are gaining in popularity and sophistication in today’s modern world. UAVs are now available in a wide range of configurations. A UAV’s many applications include aerial photography and videography and target tracking. The upward-pointing propellers of some modern fixed-wing UAVs make it possible for them to take off and land vertically. Surveillance and intruder inspections are two areas where the blended wing body (BWB) configuration shines. This is because its weight is spread uniformly throughout the body, its radar signal is weaker than that of alternative configurations, and there is a relatively small amount of interference with its movement. With common design factors in mind, like vertical takeoff and landing, aerodynamic drag, and fundamental wing stability, the optimal BWB plan form for surveillance is designed. CATIA is used to finish the conceptual design of the BWB-based UAV. A fluid-structure interaction (FSI) study is carried out after the model has been examined in ANSYS Fluent. The UAV’s responsiveness is improved through simulation in the MATLAB environment after a proportional-integral-derivative-type altitude controller was developed. The results demonstrate that providing the UAV with an altitude instruction enhances its performance. Given the flexibility of the suggested BWB UAV’s design, we have decided to limit its maximum forward speed to 75 m/s and its maximum rate of vertical ascension to 50 m/s. Rapid BWB UAVs like the one seen here are quite helpful in dangerous situations.

Recent large-scale operations, including frequent maritime transportation and unauthorised as well as unlawful collisions of drainage wastes, have polluted the ocean’s ecology. Due to the ocean’s unsuitable ecology, the entire globe may experience drastic aberrant conditions, which will force illness onto all living things. Therefore, an advanced system is very necessary to remove the undesired waste from the ocean’s surface and interior. Through the use of progressive unmanned amphibious vehicles (UAV), this study provides a dynamic operational mode-based solution to damage removal. In order to successfully handle the heavy payloads of ravage collections when the UAV reveals centre of gravity concerns, a highly manoeuvrable-based design inspired by nature has been imposed. The ideal creatures to serve as the inspiration for this piece are tropical birds, which have a long tail for navigating tricky situations. The design initialization was carried out by focusing on the outer body of tropical birds. Following this, special calculations were conducted and the full design parameters of the UAV were established. This study proposes a unique mathematical formulation for the development of primary and secondary design parameters of an UAV. The proposed mission profile of this application is computationally tested with the aid of sophisticated computational methodologies after the modelling of this UAV. The computational methods that are required are one-way coupling-based hydro-structural interaction assessments and computational hydrodynamic analyses. Computing is used to determine the aerodynamic and hydrodynamic forces over the UAV, the lightweight materials to withstand high fluid dynamic loads, and the buoyancy forces to complete the UAV components. These computational methods have been used to produce a flexible and fine-tuned UAV design for targeted real-time applications.

“…Furthermore, an essential aspect of propeller design involves structural evaluation to ensure the structural integrity and safety of the aircraft. Multiphysics interaction of fluid flows and solid structures can be used to determine stress and deformation factors for design and material standards under different flow conditions as well as the material deformation on aerodynamic performance based on the one-way [8], [9] and two-way [10] FSI simulations. This paper first examines the aerodynamic performance of a propeller by CFD through the two types of approaches: MRF and SM.…”

The concept of an electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft emerged recently with the advanced technological developments in electric propulsion systems and the demand for urban air mobility which can be a countermeasure for traffic congestion in urban and suburban areas. Even though significant research has been done on eVTOL designs, due to the early era of the concept and the wide variety of designs available, there are no specific ways/standards to approach an eVTOL design, unlike the conventional helicopter and aircraft. This research aims to explore the performance evaluation of an eVTOL propeller from the views of both fluid and structural simulations by conducting Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) on a wide range of advance ratios. The CFD model used in this research is Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations with a k-ω Shear Stress Transport (SST) turbulent model. The results provide optimized eVTOL design for the next generation of aircraft concepts to fulfill the aerodynamic performance demands of the world.
