Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is used to analyze and optimize the aerodynamic performance of quadcopters. It helps in understanding airflow behavior, pressure distribution, and turbulence effects around the rotors and body. By simulating airflow interactions, CFD aids in improving efficiency, stability, and lift generation while minimizing drag and power consumption.
This course will guide you through the process of performing a CFD analysis of a quadcopter. We will begin by focusing on geometry modeling and preparing it for simulation. Then, we will cover meshing the geometry, setting up the problem in Ansys Fluent® fluid simulation software, and post-processing the results. Additionally, we will extract key parameters such as drag and lift forces acting on the body.
This course is designed for students participating in various quadcopter design competitions.
