Modeling of Rotor Wake Vortex Dynamics and Interactions in Non-Homogenous Vertiport Environments
<p>The current research serves to analyze and study the effects ground forces can have on the thrust performance of a propeller in multiple different configurations. The current research utilizes an open source Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software known as OpenFOAM to generate calculate and …

Emergent Themes of Operational Safety at Urban Air Mobility at Vertiports: The Stakeholder Perspective
… complex, and still highly conceptual, as vertiports are not currently an operational reality in the United States. The UAM vertiport is at the epicenter of the emerging advanced aviation ecosystem, representing significant operating costs of approximately $130 million per year and more …

Urban Air Mobility: Demand Estimation and Feasibility Analysis
… model to estimate UAM demand and place vertiports. The feasibility of commuter UAM operations in Northern California is further analyzed through a series of sensitivity analyses. This study was published in Transportation Research Part A: Policy and Practice journal. In an effort to …

Analysis of Potential Demand of On-Demand Urban Air Mobility Via Agent-Based Simulation
… the following considerations: (i) demand-centric vertiport placements and realistic vertiport capacity generation; (ii) explicit service operations that include rebalancing, charging and transition activities at vertiports; (iii) a behaviorally sound decision-making process capturing the switching …

Numerical Modeling of Synthetic Vortical Disturbance Interactions Using OpenFOAM
… capability of vertical take-off and landing at vertiports located on rooftops of tall urban buildings, which does not require using the ground space in a condensed urban environment. Such flight operations, however, will be greatly affected by the vertiport’s highly unsteady, turbulent flow …

Centralized and Decentralized Approaches to Advanced Air Mobility Traffic Management
… that efficiently utilizes limited airspace and vertiport resources and minimizes delays. Next, given the diverse set of possible AAM applications, we desire a system that is fair across different operators and flights. Finally, we must be cognizant of the level of information sharing required …
