Abstract

This study aimed to determine effects of diffuser length of open and ducted propellers in UAV applications. This study opted for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) as the primary research method. Results have shown that the diffuser length impacts are largely independent results-wise and show no correlation, however, more data would be needed to form a conclusive statement. From this study, miniature models could be fabricated for the purpose of further testing. For instance, future studies could conduct an experimental approach to attain data that is as close to real-world applications as possible. This will be vital for the industrial application.
