Noise reduction oriented optimization of UAV propellers
Ecler, Matěj ; Matějů, Jiří (referee) ; Popela, Robert (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with optimization of propellers with the aim to reduce their noise level. Based on the measurement of noise level of serial propellers, major propeller noise sources were evaluated. Subsequent 2D simulations of the flow on the individual profiles along the propeller span revealed the locations of separation bubbles, which were identified as a potential source of the noise. Based on these findings, propellers were equipped with turbulator trips of various dimensions and their effect on the noise level and efficiency of the propellers was experimentally verified. The results did not show contribution of turbulator trips to noise reduction or efficiency.
