| Abstract | ||
| The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is becoming popular from last two decades and it has been utilizing in enormous applications such as aerial monitoring, military purposes, rescue missions, etc. Hence, the present work focused on the design of the UAV wing considering the CH10 airfoil. In this paper, the computational fluid dynamic analysis on CH10 cambered airfoil has been conducted to achieve the preliminary results on the aerodynamic lift and drag coefficients. The airfoil has a chord length of 1 meter and has been subjected to low Reynolds numbers of 500 000, which is the standard operating Reynolds number for UAV wing design. The C-type fluid domain has been constructed at 30C upstream and downstream of the airfoil to initialize the boundary conditions. The angle of attack ranging from 0 | ||
