| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We conducted airfoil design optimization studies for low Reynolds number, rarefied atmospheric environment, such as ultra high altitude, or Mars atmospheric flight, for three years. In low Reynolds number flight, the unsteady vortical motion in relatively large scale becomes more dominant. We performed both numerical simulations and wind tunnel tests for various airfoil shapes to clarify the onset mechanism of unsteady motions. For a better aerodynamic performance, the airfoil shape near the leading edge should stay flat, while the maximum camber location should be given near the trailing edge, for very thin thickness. Our achievements were reported in academic journals and conferences.
