1. Optimal Design of a High-Altitude Solar-Powered Unmanned Airplane
ABSTRACT: This paper describes a multi-disciplinary design and optimization framework tailored for the conceptual development of high-altitude solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicles. The aircraft baseline configuration that the framework is able to handle is very similar to that of Zephyr, which is developed by the UK based company QinetiQ. The disciplines o

2. A CFD-based analysis of the 14-Bis aircraft aerodynamics and stability
Abstract The work reported in the present paper was performed to honor the centennial of the flight by Alberto Santos Dumont with his 14-Bis aircraft. The paper describes results for a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of the 14-Bis aircraft aerodynamics and flight stability. The 14-Bis aircraft geometry was generated from historical sources and ob

3. Thermal boundary layer effects in aeronautical airfoils icing accretion. / Efeitos da camada limite térmica na formação de gelo em aerofólios de uso aeronáutico.
O modelo de avaliação da camada limite dinâmica e térmica foi implementado, no presente trabalho, em um código numérico para o cálculo do coeficiente de transferência de calor convectivo sobre aerofólios de uso aeronáutico com formação de gelo. Foram considerados, no modelo da camada limite turbulenta, os efeitos da rugosidade equivalente do grã
