Investigation of Rotor Efficiency with Varying Rotor Pitch Angle for a Coaxial Drone
Giljarhus, Knut Erik Teigen; Apeland, Jørgen; Porcarelli, Alessandro (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022-04)Coaxial rotor systems are appealing for multirotor drones, as they increase thrust without increasing the vehicle’s footprint. However, the thrust of a coaxial rotor system is reduced compared to having the rotors in line. ... -
Investigation of transitional turbulence models for CFD simulation of the drag crisis for flow over a sphere
Nakhostin, Seyedeh Mona; Giljarhus, Knut Erik Teigen (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The drag crisis is an interesting physical phenomenon for flow over bluff bodies, where the drag coefficient suddenly drops as the Reynolds number increases. This behavior is caused by the flow transitioning from laminar ... -
