AIRFOIL DESIGN OPTIMIZATION USING MULTI FIDELITY AT LOW REYNOLDS NUMBER FOR FIXED WING UAV
A methodology is given to choose an airfoil for a fixed wing UAV, and evaluate based on the mission constraints, and to efficiently optimize the airfoil by using multi-fidelity software such as XFLR5 and ANSYS FLUENT. The analysis solvers are validated for the wind tunnel test data of E387 and CAL2463m airfoil. Then, t...
