The Stability

The paper uses computational fluid dynamics combined with sliding mesh and dynamic layering methods to study the dynamic ground effect of a UVA during the phase of takeoff. The research focused on longitude characteristics, such as lift, drag and pitching moment. Results showed that the aerodynamic force would vibrate acutely, which affected the stability of the UAV and the safety of takeoff. Pitching angle is the most important factor influencing the aerodynamic forces. Increase the pitching angle properly is benefit to the safety of takeoff operation.

Numerical Parametric Study

Most flying animals produce aerodynamic forces by flapping their wings back and forth with a complex wingbeat pattern. The fluid dynamics that underlies this motion has been divided into separate aerodynamic mechanisms of which rotational lift, that results from fast wing pitch rotations, is particularly important for flight control and manoeuvrability. This rotational force mechanism has been modelled using Kutta–Joukowski theory, which combines the forward stroke motion of the wing with the fast pitch motion to compute forces. Recent studies, however, suggest that hovering insects can produce rotational forces at stroke reversal, without a forward motion of the wing. We have conducted a broad numerical parametric study over a range of wing morphologies and wing kinematics to show that rotational force production depends on two mechanisms: (i) conventional Kutta–Joukowski-based rotational forces and (ii) a rotational force mechanism that enables insects with an offset of the pitch axis relative to the wing's chordwise symmetry axis to generate rotational forces in the absence of forward wing motion. Because flying animals produce control actions frequently near stroke reversal, this pitch-axis-offset dependent aerodynamic mechanism may be particularly important for understanding control and manoeuvrability in natural flyers.
