Investigation of Sloshing in a Sprayer Drone Tank with Blade-Shaped Baffles Using Numerical Simulations
Özet
The phenomenon of liquid sloshing affects the
performance of UAVs used in agricultural spraying.
The multi-directional sloshing forces that occur
inside the tank can cause the drone to deviate from
the specified route and collide with an obstacle. In
this study, multiple blade-shaped baffles were used
to suppress liquid sloshing in a sprayer drone tank.
Numerical simulations using standard k-ε, standard
k-ω, SST k-ω turbulence models were performed to
evaluate effectiveness of this sloshing suppressor
and compare it with a conventional suppressor. In
these CFD simulations, the changes in total pressure,
fluid velocity at a certain point in the tanks, sloshing
force, and water elevation were examined for 50%
and 65% filling ratios. It was demonstrated through
numerical analyses that both suppressors were very
effective in sloshing damping.
