FEA: CFD Analysis of Quad Copter Drone

Abstract

Finite element analysis is the process of simulating and analyzing behavior of the parts and assembly under prerequisite conditions. FEA usually used to simulate physical phenomenon as well to reduce the need of physical prototype. Computational fluid dynamics is sub branch of fluid dynamics as it a science that, with the help of computers, CFD produces quantitative predictions of fluid flow in the system. In this research work CFD analysis of quad copter is presented, focusing on aerodynamic characteristics optimization. Quad copter is unmanned aerial vehicle i.e UAV that its configuration is relative to program for autonomous flight that allows experiment with complex swarming behavior. The objective of the research is to analyze the design of quad copter as of weather design specification meets the desired outcomes. Design of geometry is done in ansys space claim modeler as well as Effects of loads and different boundary conditions were done on quad copter using ANSYS software.
