Interference effects between duct and control vane on a micro air vehicle / Sheila Tobing, Tiauw Hiong Go and Roxana Vasilescu

A numerical study on the interference effects between duct and control vanes on a Vertical Takeoff and Landing Micro Air Vehicle is presented in this paper. The numerical analysis is conducted systematically with the solver first validated before it is applied to the full vehicle simulations. Differ...
