Abstract

A multi-nodes thermal model was proposed to simulate the thermal performance of a stratospheric airship with photovoltaic array, an analysis code was developed based on the thermal model and was verified by experimental data. A further inspection into the thermal performance of the airship was conducted, and the influence of the area of the photovoltaic array and the thickness of the insulation layer to the thermal performance of the airship were analyzed numerically. The simulation results show that the area of the photovoltaic array and the thickness of insulation layer have evident influence on the temperature of the envelope and buoyancy gas.
