The document analyzes the Eppler 61 airfoil using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software XFLR5 and Fluent to simulate low Reynolds number flows. The results are compared to experimental data to validate that the Eppler 61 airfoil performs well at low Reynolds numbers, making it suitable for micro air vehicles. CFD simulations are conducted at Reynolds numbers of 46,000, 87,000 and 160,000 and angles of attack from -4 to 16 degrees with and without tripping to study separation bubbles. The computational results reasonably match the experimental data.Presentation on delta wing
Presentation on delta wingMahesh Patil
油
This document discusses Mahesh Patil's thermal science research project which involves analyzing the flow over a delta wing using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The project has two phases: a literature review phase involving five research papers on vortex breakdown and control over delta wings, and a CFD analysis phase. The research papers investigate vortex breakdown using experiments, Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with different turbulence models, and particle image velocimetry (PIV) to analyze flow structures. The CFD analysis will evaluate the thermal performance of an automobile radiator with a delta wing configuration.DeltaWingPoster

Three delta wings with sweep angles of 43, 53, and 63 degrees were tested in a wind tunnel at angles of attack of 15, 30, and 45 degrees. Oil flow visualization showed that the 53 degree wing at 30 degrees of attack produced the most concentrated vortices, seen as distinct lines of oil. At higher angles of attack, the flow became more disrupted. The 43 degree wing showed a trailing edge vortex at 45 degrees, indicating a possible stall. The 63 degree wing produced small and large vortices at the edges at 15 degrees of attack, seen as a defined separation line.Heat transfer enhancement using delta wing

The document discusses building drone prototypes, gilding drones, and racing drones. It provides steps for designing and testing a drone prototype, including defining the use case, researching existing solutions, designing the prototype, testing it, iterating based on test results, and documenting the process. Gilding drones, also called glider drones, can fly without propulsion by exploiting rising air currents. They are capable of extended flight durations and some have small batteries. Racing drones are customized for speed and maneuverability, with powerful motors and advanced flight control for executing precise maneuvers through obstacle courses."Click here" to build your UAV

This document discusses point clouds generated from images taken with rolling shutter cameras on consumer drones. It contains the following key points:
1) Pix4D software can model geometric distortions from rolling shutter cameras to improve mapping accuracy, allowing drones to be flown at higher speeds.
2) Experiments show rolling shutter modeling improves results for all rolling shutter cameras, bringing accuracies to the usual 2-3 pixel range. It does not negatively impact accuracy for global shutter cameras.
3) Accuracy from rolling shutter modeling increases with drone flight speed, and global shutter cameras tend to be slightly more accurate than rolling shutter cameras.End of Semester Design Report Final Version

Mukesh Kumar's presentation discusses micro air vehicles (MAVs), which are unmanned aerial vehicles smaller than 15 cm. MAVs were originally developed for military intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance applications to allow remote observation of hazardous environments. The history of MAV development from the 1990s by organizations like MIT Lincoln Labs and DARPA is reviewed. Potential new indoor uses for MAVs are presented, along with considerations for future MAV design, such as prioritizing useful use cases over technology-driven requirements. Advantages of MAVs include being small and able to access places previously inaccessible, while disadvantages include being an immature technology and potential misuse if the technology falls into the wrong hands.poster1

Application of Drones for Mining OoperationsDr. Alex Vyazmensky
油
Drones are increasingly being used in mining operations to help improve safety, efficiency and planning. They can conduct surveys of pits, stockpiles, tailings dams and other areas to produce 3D spatial data and maps. This data helps with tasks like short-term mine planning, production blast reconciliation, and monitoring geological or stability conditions. Drones allow remote access to hazardous or hard to reach areas, helping streamline workflows. While drone technology is advancing rapidly, their use in mining still faces some limitations from regulations, operating constraints, and the need for careful risk analysis when flying near equipment and personnel. As drones get smaller, cheaper and more integrated with autonomous systems, their applications in mining are expected to continue growing significantly.A Review of Stealth Technology

HelioSpec uses multiple drones (a "swarm") equipped with cameras and sensors to efficiently inspect large photovoltaic (PV) solar sites. The drones can autonomously follow pre-programmed flight paths, communicate with each other, and capture high-resolution imagery and data. Operators can control multiple drones simultaneously and processed data is transferred to the cloud. HelioSpec also manages drone pilot training, regulatory compliance, and provides inspection services on a pay-per-use basis to reduce capital costs for customers.
