Simcenter Amesim will then calculate the optimal velocity profile. For our test case, we imported the track of the Formula Student Germany at Hockenheim and generated a corresponding velocity profile for our vehicle.
To calculate the amount of power a turbine can actually generate from the wind, you need to know the wind speed at the turbine site and the turbine power rating. Most large turbines produce their maximum power at wind speeds around 15 meters per second (33 mph). Considering steady wind spe...
Make sure to use accurate drive cycle data representative of real-world driving conditions (e.g., urban vs highway driving) to feed into your power calculations. Also, the fidelity of your model can be increased by incorporating other resistive forces like aerodynamic drag or ...
Sure, steel ships can float and even very heavy airplanes can fly, but to achieve flight, you have to exploit the four basic aerodynamic forces: lift, weight, thrust and drag. You can think of them as four arms holding the plane in the air, each pushing from a different direction. ...
This video shows how to use a 2D layout, Geometric relationships and Excel to calculate the Center of Gravity CG and the Mean Aerodynamic Chord M.A.C. for a flying wing / Delta wing aircraft. Share this: Email More Loading... Lewis Ascender – Aircraft of the Month ...
If your periapsis is too high you will need to burn retrograde after the aerobrake to achieve an orbit. Duna's highest terrain is around 8500m high, so placing your periapsis below that is not recommended even for the bravest. A heat shield might be necessary, but a good aerodynamic ...
Attitude Profile Block: Compute rotation to reach desired spacecraft attitude To calculate the shortest quaternion rotation that aligns the primary alignment vector with the primary constraint vector for spacecraft, use the Attitude Profile block. Note This block is available only through the CubeSat ...
LEWICE models are used to calculate the ice growth rate at each point on the surface of a geometry. By specifying an icing time increment, the ice growth rate can be interpreted as an ice thickness which is added to the body. This procedure is repeated, b...
significantly influences the safety and efficiency of a flight. loading the aircraft at the optimised centre of gravity ensures proper weight and balance, increasing its aerodynamic efficiency which ultimately saves fuel. emirates has a rigorous policy of loading aircraft to come as close as possible ...
Another partner in the project, Dante Aeronautical is handling the aerodynamic testing aspects. The goal is to work with the Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) to achieve the first eCaravan STC in the world by 2023 and market it throughout the Asia Pacific Regio...
