Cover Story: Concerned about the increasing outburst of wildfires globally, the Fluid Mechanics Laboratory (FML) team proceeded to the conceptual design of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) specially designed to tackle this phenomenon. The innovative aspect of the research was studying the response and aerodynamic efficiency of the UAV wing model in a two-phase flow of air and fire embers. Numerical simulations were conducted using three different meshing configurations. These were a fully structured mesh, an unstructured mesh, and a mosaic poly-hexcore mesh. The final validation of the simulations was achieved through comparison with the results obtained from the wind tunnel experiment conducted at FML, using a 3D-printed prototype. View this paper
