urn:hdl:2117/375672 New winglet designs to minimize drag and turbulence Jyothi, Sushma Àrees temàtiques de la UPC::Aeronàutica i espai::Aeronaus::Avions Airplanes--Design and construction Winglet design Optimization Drag reduction Wing-tip vortices Avions--Disseny i construcció The aerospace industry relies on the continuous upgrading of available technology and the testing of novel concepts to ensure that there is a demand for aircraft design investments. These aircraft design improvements will substantially impact the aircraft's aerodynamic efficiency and structural design. Winglets are one of the essential components of an aircraft's design that contribute to its aerodynamic efficiency. The winglet design plays a significant part in reducing aerodynamic drag when it comes to the geometry of a wing. The winglet is responsible not only for the aircraft's efficiency but also for its structural integrity. So, based on the backdrop, as mentioned earlier, we'll now focus on implementing alternative winglet designs, generating parameters such as drag force and lift, and finally determining the most effective design based on the shape and flow regimes. Autodesk Fusion 360, Education License, the integrated CAD/CAM and 3D modeling software, is used to develop novel winglet designs. Ansys Fluent student version displays flow parameters, analysis, and simulations.
