Aeroelastic Response Simulation of a 3D Printed High Altitude Propeller

Abstract: This paper presents a steady aeroelastic simulation of a 3D Printed propeller blade designed for a High Altitude Platform Station (HAPS) by using the Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) method. On the fluid side, steady RANS simulations are carried out in ANSYS Fluent at an altitude of 16 km using the spring-based smoothing method to update the mesh. On the structure side, three materials are used to model the blade structure: two 3D-printed materials which are tough PLA and Onyx to print the blade core which is… Show more

“…The two objectives are: the aerodynamic performance of the propeller and the weight of the propeller blades, as both contribute to the endurance of the unmanned aerial vehicle. The blade's weight is also the key factor behind the dominant centrifugal stresses [18]. Finally, parallelization techniques will be sought after, so at each infill iteration, multiple propeller geometries will be submitted for performance evaluation, decreasing the overall running time of the optimization process.…”
