Accelerated optimization of Mars multi-rotor aircraft blade airfoil based on Xfoil-Fluent: Methods and experiments
In Mars exploration, multi-rotor aircraft plays a crucial role, with its blades serving as the sole provider of thrust. Given the thin atmosphere, conventional blades cannot generate the required thrust for multi-rotor aircraft to carry out detection missions in this environment. Thus, optimizing the blade structure is essential to ensure sufficient thrust while minimizing power consumption. This study introduces a method for rapidly optimizing the two-dimensional aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils using Xfoil and ANSYS Fluent. A single-objective genetic algorithm is employed to optimize the airfoil of the blade, aiming to enhance the lift-to-drag ratio. After optimizing the aerodynamic properties of the airfoil, the performance of the optimized blade is confirmed experimentally.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Engineering Science is not limited to a specific aspect of science and engineering but is instead devoted to a wide range of subfields in the engineering sciences. While it encourages a broad spectrum of contribution in the engineering sciences, its core interest lies in issues concerning material modeling and response. Articles of interdisciplinary nature are particularly welcome.
The primary goal of the new editors is to maintain high quality of publications. There will be a commitment to expediting the time taken for the publication of the papers. The articles that are sent for reviews will have names of the authors deleted with a view towards enhancing the objectivity and fairness of the review process.
Articles that are devoted to the purely mathematical aspects without a discussion of the physical implications of the results or the consideration of specific examples are discouraged. Articles concerning material science should not be limited merely to a description and recording of observations but should contain theoretical or quantitative discussion of the results.
