CFD analysis while aircraft landing

gurav.harsh · May 4, 2016, 05:14

Hi,
I created a CAD model for a drone and I want to do its cfd analysis while its landing. Dimensions- nearly 110*310*100 mm
Can anyone guide me some basic details?
which software will be better to get accurate results?
How much domain should I use for 110*310*100 mm?

What do you plan to do exactly? Will you move drone while simulating? Or you will just rotate the blades near the ground and look what is going on while landing ?

You can use fluent to simulate what you want. You can ground as a wall , you can model rotors as Moving Reference Frame . Or if you want transient simulation , you can use sliding mesh.
