Abstract:
Wind loading on the dish antenna is an important parameter in designing the antenna structure for communication integrity. The concave-shaped reflector surface is the key component for the communications and the deformation caused by wind loading could potentially affect the resolution and sensitivity of the antenna performance. Wind loads and corresponding deformations on the surface can be estimated accurately through one-way coupled Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI). The proposed work involves CFD analysis on a commonly used parabolic dish antenna to determine the maximum loading on the dish antenna. The wind loads and drag coefficients will be estimated for different wind angles to determine the direction of the maximum loading on the dish surface. For maximum loading condition, pressure distribution on the dish surface will be used as an input condition to estimate the maximum surface deformation using FEA analysis. The one-way coupled FSI study will be performed using Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA XFlow and Abaqus.
