Paper Title
Aerodynamic Investigation of Serrated Wing in UAV Application
Abstract
It is known fact that nature’s way of flight is better than any of those built by humans. It is believed that it is the serrations of the birds that are causing the better aerodynamic performance and acoustics for them. In our research we tried to study how the serrations are effecting the aerodynamic performance of flight. We have done a study on wing with both Leading Edge serrations and Trailing Edge mounted to it at Reynold’s Number at 210,000 and compared the result with normal wing. We have observed that the aerodynamic performance has been improved drastically for the one that is having serration the lift has improved by 14% whereas the drag has been reduced by 3%.
