Validation cases for aeolus asp
Validation cases for fixed-wing and propellers
This section shows comparisons of the computational results with wind tunnel data and CFD results for fixed wings and propellers.
Fixed-Wing Validation Case
This report is intended to validate the aerodynamic kernel in Aeolus ASP
This report compares the aerodynamic kernel in Aeolus ASP by means of comparison with wind tunnel tests and CFD results. It compares the wing surface pressure distribution and induced drag for 3 wing configurations:
- Straight wing
- Swept wing
- Boxwing
As result, Aeolus ASP shows excellent agreement with wind tunnel measurements.

Propeller validation cases
We have compared aerodynamic simulations on propellers against wind tunnel results and OEM specifications. Thrust, power, and efficiency plots confirm a good agreement between simulations and experiment.
Propeller Validation Case
Comparison of Aerodynamic Simulations for the DJI R3390 Propeller
The flow solver Aeolus ASP is used for the numerical simulations. It is based on potential flow and has been developed to predict the aerodynamic performance of lifting bodies, such as fixed wings and propellers. This report shows a comparison of the aerodynamic properties predicted by numerical simulations using Aeolus ASP with OEM specifications, and flight test data.
In this video you van see the aerodynamic performance test of the R3390 blades. Increased high-frequency noise at 3400 RPM due to eigenfrequency of the test stand.
Propeller Validation Case
Comparison of Aerodynamic Simulations with Wind Tunnel Results for a Propeller
This report shows a comparison of the aerodynamic properties predicted by numerical simulations using Aeolus ASP and wind tunnel results for a 9ft diameter propeller.
