Simple flight controller based on FlowPro-Matlab coupling

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of this work is the development of an interface between CFD software FlowPro and computing environment Matlab, which can be used to simulate complex problems such as fluid-structure interaction (FSI) problems. The main idea behind FlowPro-Matlab interface is to provide FlowPro to Matlab users. In case of FSI simulations, the problem is split into two parts. The calculation of the fluid flow field, mesh deformation and forces acting on the bodies is performed by FlowPro. The solution of rigid body movement equations is left for the user of Matlab. The interface presented in this work manages the data transfer between FlowPro and Matlab. The usage of the developed interface is illustrated on the example of a flight controller of a simple 2D plane model. The plane model consists of two NACA0012 airfoils of different sizes. The rotation of the smaller airfoil is controlled by the PID regulator, whose parameters were set empirically. The aim of the simulation is to reach the target altitude. The presented example shows that it is possible to use the developed interface for a variety of FSI problems. The advantage of this approach is that it provides a very accurate evaluation of non-linear forces acting on the bodies as opposed to simplified linear expressions, which are typically used.
