Abstract

The dynamics and kinematics model is very important for the analysis of stability, manipulation and control of stratosphere airship. A full modeling approach that includes the computation of aerodynamics of airship and the added mass for the nonlinear dynamics simulation of stratosphere airships is proposed in this paper. In this approach, the aerodynamics of airship is calculated based on a panel method, an engineering estimation and theory approach. A new numerical method for calculating added masses of airship is developed by using the CFD method. This model can simulate the motion of stratosphere airships quickly and accurately.
