Numerical Simulation and Analysis of Droplet Drift Motion under Different Wind Speed Environments of Single-Rotor Plant Protection UAVs
2023
Overview
Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have been widely used in plant protection, and the mechanism of droplet deposition drift while spraying with the 3WQF120-12 produced by Quanfeng Aviation, a representative model of single-rotor plant protection UAVs in China, still requires more research. This study used a combination of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel experiments to analyze the droplet deposition drift pattern of the 3WQF120-12 single-rotor plant protection UAV. The CFD modeling of the nozzle was confirmed to be feasible using wind tunnel experiments. Pearson correlation analysis was performed between experimental and simulated values, and multiple correlation coefficients reached above 0.89, which is a robust correlation. In this study, CFD simulations were performed to simulate the drift of UAV spray droplets under the rotor wind field and the combined effect of front and side winds. The deposition of droplets at different heights was simulated. The UAV’s spraying conditions at different flight speeds, side wind magnitudes, and spraying heights were evaluated. According to the CFD simulation results of the 3WQF120-12 plant protection UAV, the recommended flight height is 1–3 m, the recommended flight speed is below 3 m/s, and the recommended ambient wind speed is within 3 m/s. The simulation results were verified by the field test, and the trend of the field experimental data and CFD simulation results are qualitatively consistent to verify the reasonableness and feasibility of the simulation’s data. The simulated results were similar to the curves and spray area of the field test results at operating heights of 1.5 m and 3.5 m.
