Abstract:
      The purpose aims to reduce the diurnal temperature variation of helium in envelope and helium. Based on mature CFE numerical analysis software-FLUENT, the influences of airflow velocity distribution on envelope under the propeller layout of head, both sides and tail were compared. For the layout of propeller mounted the side and tail of airship, the airflow speed could reach up to about 32m/s accelerated by the propeller at inflow speed of 15m/s, the acceleration ratio was about 2.13, which would increase the forced convective heat transfer coefficient by twice. The layout of propeller mounted the head of airship could increase the velocity of envelope and reduce the temperature difference of envelope and helium. The layout of propeller mounted the side and tail of airship can increase the local velocity of envelope and reduce the local temperature difference of envelope and helium.
