Resumen

La red de oleoductos requiere monitoreo periódico para detectar daños que puedan causar fugas de hidrocarburos con severo daño ambiental. Estos daños pueden generarse por interferencia de terceros, tales como trabajos de construcción, sabotaje, vandalismo, excavaciones y sustracción ilegal de hidrocarburos. Para detectar daños en oleoductos pueden utilizarse vehículos aéreos no tripulados (UAVs) con cámaras infrarrojas y sistemas de procesamiento de imágenes. Este trabajo presenta el análisis aerodinámico de un UAV con forma de halcón (envergadura de 2,20 m y longitud de 1,49 m) para aplicación potencial en la detección de fallas de oleoductos. Un prototipo a escala de 1:6,5 es fabricado usando una impresora 3D. Los coeficientes aerodinámicos del UAV son determinados usando simulaciones de dinámica de fluidos computacionales (CFD) y pruebas experimentales con un túnel de viento subsónico. Además, los coeficientes de sustentación y arrastre del UAV son obtenidos como función del número de Reynolds y el ángulo de ataque. También, el perfil de velocidad del aire alrededor del UAV es estimado con el modelo CFD. El UAV propuesto podría disminuir los costos de inspección de oleoductos en comparación con el uso de helicópteros o vehículos aéreos ligeros.
