Analysis for Limiting the Sprayed Range of Agricultural Chemicals with Airflow Induced by a Rotor of an UAV

摘要

In general, crop-spraying devices which can be found in the market are designed to be used for large farmlands. It is not suitable for farms in the middle of residential area, since agricultural chemicals should not be sprayed outside of the farm. Using airflow induced by rotors of an UAV, the sprayed range can be limited to appropriate area. In this paper, the simulation and experimental analysis are conducted. The result shows that the sprayed range of agricultural chemicals is limited to a certain area using the airflow of a rotor. The sprayed area does not change even if the rotation speed of the rotor changes.
