This paper compares several blade element theory (BET) method-based propeller simulation tools, including an evaluation against static propeller ground tests and high-fidelity Reynolds-Average Navier Stokes (RANS) simulations. Two proprietary propeller geometries for paraglider applications are analysed in static and flight conditions. The RANS simulations are validated with the static test data and used as a reference for comparing the BET in flight conditions. The comparison includes the analysis of varying 2D aerodynamic airfoil parameters and different induced velocity calculation methods. The evaluation of the BET propeller simulation tools shows the strength of the BET tools compared to RANS simulations. The RANS simulations underpredict static experimental data within 10% relative error, while appropriate BET tools overpredict the RANS results by 15–20% relative error. A variation in 2D aerodynamic data depicts the need for highly accurate 2D data for accurate BET results. The nonlinear BET coupled with XFOIL for the 2D aerodynamic data matches best with RANS in static operation and flight conditions. The novel BET tool PropCODE combines both approaches and offers further correction models for highly accurate static and flight condition results.
Digital twins enable the modeling and simulation of real-world entities
(objects, processes or systems), resulting in improvements in the associated value
chains. The emerging field of quantum computing holds tremendous promise for
evolving this virtualization towards Quantum (Digital) Twins (QDT) and
ultimately Quantum Twins (QT). The quantum (digital) twin concept is not a
contradiction in terms - but instead describes a hybrid approach that can be
implemented using the technologies available today by combining classical
computing and digital twin concepts with quantum processing. This paper
presents the status quo of research and practice on quantum (digital) twins. It also
discuses their potential to create competitive advantage through real-time
simulation of highly complex, interconnected entities that helps companies better
address changes in their environment and differentiate their products and
services.
In this paper research activities developed within the FutureCom project are presented. The project, funded by the European Metrology Programme for Innovation and Research (EMPIR), aims at evaluating and characterizing: (i) active devices, (ii) signal- and power integrity of field programmable gate array (FPGA) circuits, (iii) operational performance of electronic circuits in real-world and harsh environments (e.g. below and above ambient temperatures and at different levels of humidity), (iv) passive inter-modulation (PIM) in communication systems considering different values of temperature and humidity corresponding to the typical operating conditions that we can experience in real-world scenarios. An overview of the FutureCom project is provided here, then the research activities are described.
