Master's Thesis from the year 2008 in the subject Engineering - Aerospace Technology, grade: A, University of Southampton, course: Computational Aerodynamics, language: English, abstract: Wing-in-ground effect (WIG) vehicles offer an exciting capability to fill the enormous void between speed of an aircraft and the payload capacity of a ship. WIG vehicles would be able to move cargo and passengers faster than a ship and more economical than an aircraft. Ground effect is a phenomenon that occurs on all wings flying close to the ground or a surface. The aim of this project is to investigate the behavior of wings (NACA/DHMTU series) in ground effect (on a fixed/variable terrain) using Fluent CFD package. The NACA 0012 and DHMTU series used in this project are designed specifically to fly in close proximity to the ground. The performance of the NACA/ DHMTU airfoils is examined for the lift and the drag coefficients at different altitudes with varying angle of attack. The results are compared to experimental data that is available to assess the accuracy of the CFD simulation.

Presents a Compound Control Methodology for Flight VehiclesIncludes overview chapters to flight control, sliding mode control (SMC), active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) and compound controlWritten by leading experts in the fieldCompound Control Methodology for Flight Vehicles focuses on new control methods for flight vehicles. In this monograph the concept of compound control is introduced. It is demonstrated that both Sliding Mode Control (SMC) and Active Disturbance Rejection Control (ADRC) have their own advantages and limitations, i.e., chattering of SMC and the observability of extended state observer (ESO), respectively. It is shown that compound control combines their advantages and improves the performance of the closed-loop systems. The book is self-contained, providing sufficient mathematical foundations for understanding the contents of each chapter. It will be of significant interest to scientists and engineers engaged in the field of flight vehicle control.

The International Conference on Intelligent Unmanned Systems 2011 was organized by the International Society of Intelligent Unmanned Systems and locally by the Center for Bio-Micro Robotics Research at Chiba University, Japan. The event was the 7th conference continuing from previous conferences held in Seoul, Korea (2005, 2006), Bali, Indonesia (2007), Nanjing, China (2008), Jeju, Korea (2009), and Bali, Indonesia (2010). ICIUS 2011 focused on both theory and application, primarily covering the topics of robotics, autonomous vehicles, intelligent unmanned technologies, and biomimetics. We invited seven keynote speakers who dealt with related state-of-the-art technologies including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and micro air vehicles (MAVs), flapping wings (FWs), unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), underwater vehicles (UVs), bio-inspired robotics, advanced control, and intelligent systems, among others. This book is a collection of excellent papers that were updated after presentation at ICIUS2011. All papers that form the chapters of this book were reviewed and revised from the perspective of advanced relevant technologies in the field. The aim of this book is to stimulate interactions among researchers active in the areas pertinent to intelligent unmanned systems.

This book provides a comprehensive guide to the derivation of computational models from basic physical & mathematical principles, giving the reader sufficient information to be able to represent the basic architecture of air vehicles and their embedded systems. Highly relevant to practitioners, it takes into account the multi-disciplinary nature of aerospace products and the integrated nature of the models needed to represent them. Following on from Volume 1- Platform Kinematics and Synthetic Environment -- which focuses on the modelling of the environment in which aircraft operate -- this book focuses on the modelling of the aerospace vehicles (aircraft and rotorcraft) themselves. Computational Modelling and Simulation of Aircraft and the Environment represents a development of the existing Aerospace series titles from Moir and Seabridge, as the author draws on some of the same examples used in previous works and dissects them mathematically -- thus giving a degree of commonality with earlier books in the series. More high level, detailed mathematics will be allocated to the appendices in order to render the main body of the material digestible as an introductory level text. Includes chapters on dynamics and control, flight dynamics & physics, generic aircraft and rotorcraft, vehicle and mission systems, and integration, operability & interoperability Serves as both a student text and practitioner reference Follows on from previous Aerospace series titles, taking some of the same examples used in these texts and dissecting them mathematically Accompanied by a website at www.wiley.com/go/diston which houses software, animations and useful weblinks.

El libro se ha dividido en nueve partes, correspondientes a los nueve grandes bloques de temas de teoria. Ademas, se ha procurado que los problemas planteados reflejen situaciones lo mas cercanas a la realidad de la ingenieria. La mayoria estan resueltos y explicados; al comienzo de cada parte, hemos escrito una breve introduccion del tema, como recuerdo de las bases fundamentales, y al final de cada una de ellas, hemos propuesto algunos problemas no resueltos para el trabajo personal de los alumnos.

The Aircraft Designers: A Grumman Historical Perspective tells the behind-the-scenes story of the designers and engineers who conceived and built Grumman aircraft from the founding of the company in 1929 until its 1994 acquisition by Northrop. While Grumman aircraft have been previously documented, The Aircraft Designers focuses instead on the people, disciplines, processes, and anecdotes behind the creation of such past icons as the F6F Wildcat and TBF Avenger and modern-day weapon systems like the F-14 Tomcat, E-2 Hawkeye, EA-6B Prowler, and Joint STARS. Michael Ciminera has identified key team members who contributed to the creation and development of each new design, creating an unparalleled historical record of the aeronautical achievements of the Grumman Corporation. He has also chronicled the evolution from the aircraft design of the past, which bore the earmark of the chief engineer/designer, to today's complex aircraft systems, which require a significant team effort involving such disciplines as aerodynamics, structures, propulsion, avionics, systems analysis, software, simulation, testing, and much more. The Aircraft Designers provides a unique insight into the leadership traits, technical skills, and lasting contributions of Grumman's designers. It will stand as the definitive historical account of the people who made Grumman aircraft a reality.

El desarrollo de la economía mundial ha llegado a un punto en el que se hace necesario un replanteamiento profundo, no solo de las formas productivas de las empresas o de la misma concepción de las lineas de negocio, sino tambien de los modelos de gestion de las ciudades. El crecimiento y la evolucion de sus necesidades, ha obligado a las ciudades a aplicar diferentes soluciones de gestion de sus recursos, pero normalmente de forma individual y no coordinadas. El concepto Smart City nace como idea global de la gestion de los recursos de una ciudad dirigidos a mejorar la calidad de vida de los ciudadanos. En este libro se ha tomando como punto de partida un modelo de Smart City en torno a seis caracteristicas: Economia,Gestion de gobierno, Ciudadania, Entorno, Calidad de vida y Movilidad. A partir de este modelo se han desarrollado unos objetivos que se han agrupado en una serie de servicios, para los que se han descrito las principales tecnologias que disponemos en la actualidad, destacando la aportacion de las TIC y NTIC. Obteniendo una serie de plataformas de servicios, que se deben integrar y conectar entre si, facilitando que el ciudadano forme parte activa del proceso de gestion de su ciudad. Finalmente, se analiza el grado de implantacion del modelo Smart City a nivel mundial a traves de casos practicos y de las experiencias de algunas ciudades. Este libro es el primer tomo de una serie que tiene como objetivo profundizar en el concepto de la Smart City.
