Study on design of low Reynolds number reflexed airfoil for solar-powered UAV in flying wing configuration by WANG Kelei, ZHOU Zhou, GUO Jiahao, XU De

“…Firstly, the accuracy and reliability of both quasi-steady and unsteady numerical methods to simulate the LRN transition flow and the stall separated flow at large angles of attack (AOA) are validated by an airfoil case study at specified Reynolds numbers; Secondly, the LRN reflexed air-foil optimization design framework is established by using the CST parameterization method, the multi-island genetic algorithm (MIGA), and the kriging surrogate model; Lastly, the LRN reflexed airfoil optimization study is conducted by using the NACA 8-H-12 reflexed airfoil as the baseline airfoil, it shows that both the lift-to-drag performance and the stall characteristics of the designed airfoil is significantly improved when compared with the baseline airfoil, which are quite beneficial for the small hand-launched solar-powered UAV in flying wing configuration to realize the hand-launched take off and the high-lift long-endurance flight.…”
