Drone simulation

Marax111 · February 22, 2018, 19:52

Hi everybody, if i want simulate a drone ( turbolences, blades) ecc. Which is the best way? Can i have a tutorial or a best pratice?

That is a very open ended question. If you are a novice, this simulation is probably well beyond your ability at the moment. I would start with some simple tutorials and build your way up in terms of complexity. There are several different ways to approach any one aspect of your analysis and you need to decide what you are trying to get out of it first.

I'have already simulate a case of internal aerodynamic. I am not a novice, but this is the first approach with the external aerodynamic. I have seen that there is a lot of things to investigate:
- turbolence
- blades analysis ( b.e.m. blade element method)

Thanks

There are a couple different external aero examples that would be beneficial. The blade element method is good, but I would repeat that it depends on what you want to get out of it. Your choice of turbulence model will also depend on your end goal. Can you be more specific about what you are trying to accomplish?
