This thesis describes the development of an interface for the aerodynamic optimization of fixed-wing UAVs, aimed at simplifying and speeding up the design phase within the LiftUP student project of the University of Padua. This interface is implemented in the Grasshopper extension, integrated into Rhinoceros, a 3D CAD environment. The aerodynamic analyses are performed by XFOIL and Flow5, two potential flow solvers used for two-dimensional and three-dimensional simulations, respectively.
La presente tesi descrive lo sviluppo di un interfaccia per l'ottimizzazione aerodinamica di droni ad ala fissa, finalizzata a semplificare e velocizzare la progettazione nell'ambito del progetto studentesco LiftUP dell'università di Padova. L’interfaccia è implementata all’interno dell’estensione Grasshopper, integrata nell’ambiente CAD 3D Rhinoceros. Le analisi aerodinamiche vengono condotte utilizzando XFOIL e Flow5, due risolutori a flusso potenziale impiegati rispettivamente per simulazioni bidimensionali e tridimensionali.
