Abstract

5th Symposium on Integrating CFD and Experiments in Aerodynamics (October 3-5, 2012, Chofu Aerospace Center, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA)), Chofu, Tokyo, Japan

In this research, we propose a delta wing with an arc camber to explore the Mars in flight at low Reynolds number of 1.0×10(exp 4) order. The research focuses on L/D of a cambered delta wing to get a wide cross range for the Mars exploration by computational analysis and aerodynamic force measurements using a newly developed three-component force balance. The CFD results show that L/D of the delta wing with an arc camber is much better than the no-camber delta wing at a low angle of attack. Especially, the wing with the camber rate of 5% gives the best performance. The validation results by the EFD approach supports the CFD analysis.
