Aerodynamics of Blended Wing Body (BWB) Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) / Aman Mohd Ihsan Mamat … [et al.]

A thorough understanding of the aerodynamic behaviour of Blended Wing Body (BWB) aircraft is important because of its high lift to drag ratio. The use of Computational Fluids Dynamics (CFD) has accelerated aerodynamic analysis of BWB aircraft. Steady-state, three-dimensional CFD calculations were ma...
