Abstract

This study have explored a method to obtain the airflow characteristics and the particle trajectories using CFD techniques and SST k- around a UAV. Numerical simulations of gas-phase turbulence physics at the flight speed of 20 and 40m/s and the altitude of 600 m have been carried out. DPM model simulated the trajectories of PM1, PM2.5 and PM10 at different flight speed. Combined the simulation results of gas-phase and dispersed-phase, at the altitude of 600m, the optimal placement of the sampler was about 43~72 cm from the UAV nose, and the vertical distance from the X-axis must exceed 15.0cm.
