Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of airfoil design in the aerodynamic shape design of an aircraft, in particular to a low Reynolds number airfoil matching a full-wing solar unmanned aerial vehicle. Background technique
[0002] Compared with conventional aerodynamic aircraft, solar unmanned aerial vehicle has particularity in aerodynamic design and analysis. This type of aircraft has a low flying speed and a low flying Reynolds number. Its cruise Reynolds number is about 200,000-400,000. It mainly involves low Reynolds number, low-speed laminar flow, laminar bubbles, laminar flow separation and laminar turbulence. The physical phenomena such as the transition of the flow are very different from the flow under the medium and high Reynolds number flight conditions of conventional power. Therefore, it is determined that the aerodynamic design method and idea of solar UAV are obviously different from those of medium and high Reynolds number aircraft. ...
