Bottom-up computational design of a hybrid tricopter agricultural spray UAV: propeller, nozzle, tank and airframe CFD optimization

Purpose This paper aims to develop and validate a hybrid tri-agri-copter (TAC) unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) for precision agricultural spraying using a bottom-up computational fluid dynamics (CFD)-first design methodology that sequentially evaluates each sub-system before full-v...
