SPACEU SYMPOSIUM:
DR. MICHAEL MARQUES
ABSTRACT:
This study investigates rotor downwash and brownout on Titan for NASA’s Dragonfly mission. Virtual blade models and blade-resolved simulations quantify aerodynamic performance and wall shear stress in ground effect. Results show lift enhancement but increased dust risk, with opposing-cant rotors mitigating surface interaction effects.
