Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A method is presented for using LES to generate urban wake fields for use in studying their effects on autonomous quadrotor's flight performance. The flow field is generated around a single square building using OpenFOAM, and a MATLAB/Simulink flight simulator is used to compare the difference in flight performance between wake fields generated by RANS and LES. It is found LES causes maximum position deviations 2 orders of magnitude larger compared to RANS, and results in skewed deviations by as much as 5 to 1 in a given direction. Since the transient turbulent LES wake field more accurately reflects the flow present behind real world structures, LES generated wake fields should be used when designing and testing autonomous control algorithms for multirotor UAVs on the order of 0.5 m in size and 2 kg in mass.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
