Abstract
This paper contains the results of calculation study of options for a system for
heating airship hull in order to select the most energy-efficient solutions that
should fit into the existing structure. In building computation models, real
geometrical dimensions of the airship hull were used with the maximum
diameter of 20.8 m and length of 104 m. Non-stationary three-dimensional
turbulent flow was calculated using the Flow Vision 2.5 software package.
Computer modeling of blowing airship hull with wind made it possible to
determine the empirical formula for heat transfer coefficient with accuracy of
15% for preliminary calculations of the heat flux. Numerical modeling of
snow fall onto the airship hull showed that the maximum concentration of
snow is observed in the upper part of the hull in the sector about 60 degrees.
On the basis of numerical experiments it was shown that feeding hot air into
the bottom compartment or from below into the gap between the shells is
inefficient from the standpoint of the upper surface of the airship reaching
