On-Demand Webinar - Harmonic CFD Simulation of Drones (UAVs)

Drones are gaining popularity for various purposes, ranging from military surveillance and safety inspections to media coverage, package delivery, and even racing. With increasing demands, their capabilities are becoming more sophisticated, requiring them to travel longer distances, be more energy-efficient, and operate as quietly as possible.

Research and development teams focused on Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), particularly multi-rotor drones, rely heavily on CFD simulation to accelerate the technological development of those aircraft.

In this webinar, our experts guide you through the full harmonic CFD simulation of a four-bladed quadcopter drone in Cadence Fidelity, covering:

• CAD geometry pre-processing
• Unstructured grid generation using Fidelity Pointwise
• External aerodynamics harmonic CFD simulation in Fidelity
• Results analysis in the frequency domain to assess acoustic pressure levels at near-field probes
• Flow field time reconstruction to retrieve the unsteady-state solution at a fraction of the time needed for a time-domain computation
