Design and Performance Evaluation of a Retractable Wingtip Vortex Reduction Device
(2019-12)
As an airfoil achieves lift, the pressure differential at the wingtips trigger the roll up of fluid which results in swirling wakes. This wake is characterized by the presence of strong rotating cylindrical vortices that ...
Development of an Empirical Propeller Thrust Model Using Experimental Measurements and Computational Fluid Dynamics
(2020-05)
Autonomous unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are playing an ever-increasing role in naval operations. In order for these UAVs to safely operate autonomously in a wide range of conditions, robust control systems must be ...
