Abstract. To analyze the droplet deposition under the influence of the flow field of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), a hand-held three-dimensional (3D) laser scanner was used to scan 3D images of the UAV. Fluent software was used to simulate the motion characteristics of droplets and flow fields under the conditions of a flight speed of 3 m/s and an altitude of 1.5 m. The results indicated that the ground deposition concentration in the nonrotor flow field was high, the spray field width was 2.6 m, and the droplet deposition concentration was 50 to 200 ug/cm2. Under the influence of the rotor flow field, the widest deposition range of droplets reached 12.8 m. Notably, the droplet deposition uniformity worsened, and the concentration range of the droplet deposition was 0 to 500 ug/cm2. With the downward development of the downwash flow field, the overall velocity of the flow field gradually decreased, and the influence interval of the flow field gradually expanded. In this article, the droplet concentration was verified under simulated working conditions by a field experiment, thereby demonstrating the reliability of the numerical simulation results. This research could provide a basis for determining optimal UAV operating parameters, reducing the drift of droplets and increasing the utilization rate of pesticides.

Unmanned aerial vehicles are used for research in many areas: photography and video shooting and so on. The development of unmanned aerial vehicles is directly related to the development of airspace. Today, a mathematical model is required that would describe the movement of such an aircraft with the purpose of predicting, correcting and optimizing it. The paper presents the results of a study of the controlled motion of an unmanned multi-rotor aircraft using the example of a quadrocopter. The study included the development of a law governing the apparatus and its modeling in the form of a software package. The structure of the autopilot, its main contours and parameters of these circuits are considered. After determining the necessary characteristics of the autopilot, modeling of the controlled motion of the quadrocopter in the execution environment was carried out.

Abstract In an advanced Multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), the existing methodology of the propeller and its parametric modification leads to provide the various performance characteristics by inducing the operating efficiency. The subsisting solution for obtaining the thrust, rate of climb and forward speed by proliferating the propeller configuration and modification the design aspects in propeller by varying the pitch angle and consisting parameters in a Multi-rotor UAV. Instead of adding or modifying the design aspects, this article recommends the propeller with attaching Convergent-Divergent (C-D) Nozzle duct, which leads to producing the augmented thrust efficiency than the normal functioning system. And the comparison of the propeller with and without attaching the convergent nozzle duct, divergent nozzle duct, C-D nozzle duct has been analyzed using the numerical simulation and scrutinizing the optimized conceptual design of propeller is done with the help of ANSYS Workbench, where the design methodology is modeled by CATIA. By the result of the simulation, it leads to provide the efficient characteristics and design aspects of the Multi-rotor Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
