Hello everyone,
We are a team of university students currently working on a project to replicate the CFD simulation of the DJI 9450 propeller. First of all, we would like to thank the content creators for the excellent "Acoustic Benchmark Propeller DJI 9450" study. It has been an invaluable resource for our work.
As we try to reproduce the simulation results, we've encountered some confusion regarding the benchmark target values and would be very grateful for any clarification from the community or the official team.
Issue 1: Discrepancy Between Two Reported Results
We have been referencing two main documents:
[1] The formal PDF research report (Acoustic Benchmark of DJI 9450.pdf).
[2] The web page report, available at: https://www.cfdsupport.com/download/report/DJI-9450-Propeller-Benchmark/tcfd/TCFDReport.html
We noticed a significant difference in the thrust and torque values at 6000 RPM between these two sources. Specifically:
* The PDF Research Report [1] lists a target Thrust of 4.256 N and a target Torque of 0.066 N·m.
* The Web Page Report [2]shows a computed Thrust of 3.438 N and a computed Torque of 0.058 N·m.
Furthermore, the simulation result graph in the PDF report (approx. 4.2 N) also differs from the web page report's result (3.44 N).[1] We suspect this might be due to differences in mesh density. Could anyone confirm if this understanding is correct, and which set of values should we consider the definitive target for our validation?
Issue 2: Question About the Source of the Benchmark Target Value
To delve deeper, we located the original experimental paper cited in the PDF report (Intaratep, N., et al., AIAA 2016-2873).[1, 1] However, upon reviewing this paper, we found that the measured experimental thrust for a single rotor at 6000 RPM is approximately 6.1 N (as read from Fig. 6).[1,1]
This experimental value is considerably different from the benchmark target of 4.256 N listed in the PDF report, which has caused us significant confusion.
Our specific questions are:
* Could anyone clarify the source of the benchmark target values (Thrust = 4.256 N, Torque = 0.066 N·m) used in the PDF report? Why does this target differ from the ~6.1 N we found in the original experimental paper (AIAA 2016-2873)?
* To help us perform a more accurate validation and learn from this work, would it be possible to get access to the mesh file (e.g., in OpenFOAM or MSH format) or the complete geometry file (STL/STEP) used for the high-fidelity simulation presented in the PDF report?
Any clarification would be immensely helpful for our academic research.
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Best regards
