Descripció del contingut i pla d'activitats: | |
The aerospace industry relies on the continuous upgrading of available technology and the testing of novel concepts to ensure that there is a demand for aircraft design investments. These improvements in aircraft design will have a substantial impact on the aircraft's aerodynamic efficiency and structural design.
Winglets are one of the most important components of an aircraft's design that contribute to its aerodynamic efficiency. The winglet design plays a significant part in reducing aerodynamic drag when it comes to the geometry of a wing. This is responsible not only for the aircraft's efficiency but also for its structural integrity. So, based on the above-mentioned backdrop, we'll now focus on implementing alternative winglet designs, generating parameters such as drag force and lift, and finally determining the most effective design based on the shape, inclination, and flow regimes. Main goal is the study the development of winglets to gain performance improvements (range, endurance, ...), minimize wing-tip vortices due to a close study of various wing parameters (e.g. twist, taper ratio, blend radius, ...). The required software Gmsh, Matlab, Nektar++, ... is installed in the school virtual cluster (clufa), which will also be used to carry out the simulations for the project. |

Overview (resum en anglès): | |
The aerospace industry relies on the continuous upgrading of available technology and the testing of novel concepts to ensure that there is a demand for aircraft design investments. These aircraft design improvements will substantially impact the aircraft's aerodynamic efficiency and structural design.
Winglets are one of the essential components of an aircraft's design that contribute to its aerodynamic efficiency. The winglet design plays a significant part in reducing aerodynamic drag when it comes to the geometry of a wing. The winglet is responsible not only for the aircraft's efficiency but also for its structural integrity. So, based on the backdrop, as mentioned earlier, we'll now focus on implementing alternative winglet designs, generating parameters such as drag force and lift, and finally determining the most effective design based on the shape and flow regimes. Autodesk Fusion 360, Education License, the integrated CAD/CAM and 3D modeling software, is used to develop novel winglet designs. Ansys Fluent student version displays flow parameters, analysis, and simulations. |
