Blade pitch

The aim of this research is to employ a sensitivity study for the total thrust of a ducted twin counter-rotating propeller system design for UAV applications using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Two factors were investigated: propeller spacing and difference between blades pitch angle. Using discrete values for both factors, 32 designs were analysed and evaluated. The same approach was also used for an equivalent unducted propeller system to access the influence of the duct.

The main aims of this study are to: understand the phenomena of isolated mixing regions (IMRs) in Newtonian fluids agitated in mechanically stirred vessels, in particular, the formation of core torus, using experimental studies; investigate the behavior of IMRs structures by manipulating the operating variables such as impeller rotational speed and direction, as well as geometrical variables such as impeller types and baffle location; investigate the temporal chaotic mixing using different speed modulation protocols.

In this work, the commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), ANSYS-Fluent V.14.5 has been used to illustrate the effects of rudder and blade pitch on hydrodynamic performances of a propeller. At first, the characteristic curves of a container ship propeller are computed. Then, effects of rudder on hydrodynamic performances of the propeller in the both cases of the propeller with and without rudder have been investigated.
