Defining Reference Area for Prediction of Aerodynamic Coefficients of a Biologically Inspired Hybrid Buoyant Vehicle
2017
Unmanned Systems
Geometric and volumetric quantities are usually used to define the reference area for the prediction of aerodynamic coefficients of various aquatic mammals, airships and unmanned vehicle. ...
However, reference area does not have a unique definition, especially for a hybrid buoyant aerial vehicle having hybrid lifting hull which resembles a Steller sea lion. ...
Based on the predicted trends of aerodynamic coefficients and a deep literature survey, the projected planform area is proposed as the best option for reference area of a Steller sea lion as well as for ...

Hydrostatic and Hydrodynamic Characteristics of Swimming Animals- an Inspiration for Hybrid Buoyant Aircraft
2016
Animal Review
Correlation of the geometric and buoyant properties of the swimming animals with the hybrid buoyant aerial vehicles is an example of this hypothesis. ...
It was found that the fineness ratio of this animal is of the same order as the optimum value of that for the condition of minimum drag and power required for the buoyant aerial vehicle. ...
He mentioned that that there is no powerful hydrodynamic basis for the selection of reference area for the estimation of drag coefficient and the same holds good for hybrid aerial vehicles as well. ...

Design and Shape Optimization of Unmanned, Semi-Rigid Airship for Rapid Descent Using Hybrid Genetic Algorithm
2019
2019 International Conference on Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ICUAS)
Mutation: Mutation in a GA refers to the process of alteration of one or more genes in a chromosome to address genetic diversity in a biological population. ...
Consequently, a hybrid genetic algorithm (HGA), a combination of local search and global search techniques, is employed on the mathematical model of airship hull to optimize its surface area and aerodynamic ...
Then, the convexity of a function can be formally defined as, for a function f i of n variables to be convex on a convex set S, it must satisfy the inequality condition for any two points x and y in S ...

A biologically inspired, flapping-wing, hybrid aerial-aquatic microrobot
2017
Science Robotics
devices that culminate in a hybrid, aerial-aquatic microrobot. ...
To develop robots capable of hybrid aerial and aquatic locomotion, we require versatile propulsive strategies that reconcile the different physical constraints of airborne and aquatic environments. ...
For rotorcrafts, the vehicle needs to tilt by 90° (12) , and this configuration induces large form drag because of the large exposed frontal area. ...

Shark skin-inspired designs that improve aerodynamic performance
2018
Journal of the Royal Society Interface
Through parametric modelling to query a wide range of different designs, we discovered a set of denticle-inspired surface structures that achieve simultaneous drag reduction and lift generation on an aerofoil ...
Our findings not only open new avenues for improved aerodynamic design, but also provide new perspective on the role of the complex and potentially multifunctional morphology of shark denticles for increased ...
Specifically, biological systems have evolved a wide range of drag reducing mechanisms that have inspired the design of synthetic surfaces [18] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] . ...
