Detailed Implementation
[0023] The technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0024] This invention provides a low-drag styling design method for unmanned helicopters. It establishes parametric control curves for the longitudinal and lateral profiles of the fuselage, determining design variables and design space. For samples of the fuselage's longitudinal and lateral profile curves, parametric control curves of typical cross-sections are constructed as an internal load space control optimization model. Based on the optimization objective of minimizing the windward area, and considering constraints such as equipment / component loading space, maintenance clearances, and manufacturing processes, a genetic algorithm is used to solve the optimization model, obtaining the corresponding cross-sectional profile curves. The three-dimensional model generated from the fuselage's longitudinal, lateral, and typical cross-sectional profile curves is imported into a fluid dynamics (CFD) tool to calculate aerodynamic drag, thereby obtaining an aerodynamic dataset of fuselage samples. A surrogate model is then constructed for optimization to obtain the optimal unmanned helicopter styling scheme.
[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, a low-drag design method for an unmanned helicopter includes the following steps: Step 1: Select control point sets for the longitudinal and lateral profiles of the unmanned helicopter fuselage, establish parameterized control curves for the longitudinal and lateral profiles passing through these control points, and determine the tension ratio parameters of the control points on the curves. For design variables, such as Figure 2 As shown.
[0026] Select the control point set for the longitudinal and lateral profiles of the unmanned helicopter fuselage: Select the control point set for the longitudinal and lateral profiles of the fuselage based on the loading space and installation clearance of the internal equipment / components.
[0027] Step Two: For the longitudinal and transverse profile curve samples of the fuselage, select several typical cross-sections and construct corresponding parametric control curves as an internal load space control optimization model. Based on the optimization objective of minimizing the windward area, considering constraints such as equipment / component loading space, installation clearance, and manufacturing processes, a genetic algorithm is used to solve the optimization model to obtain the control curves of typical fuselage cross-sections, such as... Figure 2 As shown.
[0028] (1) Constructing parametric control curves for typical fuselage cross-sectional profiles 1) For the longitudinal and transverse contour curve samples of the fuselage, select the first one. Control points are obtained by intersecting a typical profile with the contour curve. Simultaneously, corresponding control points are set according to requirements such as the layout of internal equipment and stealth considerations, forming a control point set for the typical profile contour. ,in Indicates the first The three-dimensional coordinates of each control point in the fuselage coordinate system To control the number of points, , This represents the total number of typical cross-sections.
[0029] 2) Based on the contour control points and considering the longitudinal symmetry of the fuselage, the structure is... Parametric spline control curves: (1) In formula (1), ,in , , They represent , , Parametric control curves in three directions, , , , Hermite basis functions: (2) In formula (1) , Control points , The derivative value of the parameter at: (3) In formula (3), Indicate control points and The distance between them , for , The tension ratio parameter, , The tangent directions of the corresponding control points are respectively , Unit vector: (4) (2) Establish a mathematical model for target optimization with the goal of minimizing the windward area of the profile curve. The fuselage cross-sectional area is a significant factor affecting the overall aerodynamic drag of the aircraft; therefore, minimizing the frontal area of the cross-sectional profile curve is taken as the optimization objective. Considering the symmetrical arrangement of the unmanned helicopter fuselage and the fuselage cross-sectional area... Since the value is constant, the mathematical model for the optimization objective is expressed as: (5) (3) Taking into account constraints such as equipment / component loading space, installation clearance, and manufacturing process, determine the constraints of the contour curve. 1) There must be no collision or interference between the fuselage structure and internal equipment / components on any contour curve segment. (6) In formula (6), This indicates the coordinates of the outline points on the internally loaded equipment / components in the cross-section. , The total number of contour points. This indicates the thickness of the fuselage structure and the clearance between it and the internal equipment / components; in engineering, it is generally taken as 0.1m.
[0030] 2) Any contour curve segment is smooth and even, without any bumps or valleys. (7) (4) The genetic algorithm is used to solve the internal load space control optimization model of the typical fuselage cross section. 1) Optimize and identify the control point tension ratio parameter by identifying the fitness function and constraints of the problem model as spatial control optimization. 2) Population initialization. Randomly generated. All control point tension ratio parameter combination schemes By combining the coordinates of the control points and the tangent direction, the corresponding contour control curve is solved, thus forming... The chromosomes were used as the initial population.
[0031] 3) Fitness Calculation. The internal space control optimization function is transformed into a fitness function. For internal equipment / components that exceed installation space constraints and manufacturing process constraints, a penalty term is introduced. The fitness function can then be expressed as: (8) 4) Genetic selection operation. Calculate the fitness values of all chromosomes in the population, arrange them in descending order, retain the top 10% of chromosomes to enter the next generation population without crossover or mutation operations, and use the roulette wheel method to perform crossover and mutation operations on the remaining 90% of chromosomes (called the inferior population).
[0032] 5) Genetic crossover operation. An adaptive crossover operation is performed on the tension ratio parameter combination of chromosomes in the inferior population based on the crossover probability. Specifically, for each chromosome in the inferior population, chromosomes to be crossed and crossover nodes are randomly generated. Genes at the crossover nodes of the two chromosomes to be crossed are exchanged, and duplicate genes at other nodes of the chromosomes are replaced with replacement genes. Based on the tension ratio parameter combination scheme after crossover, the corresponding contour control curve is solved using the coordinates of the control points and the tangent direction to form a new chromosome. The fitness value of the new chromosome is calculated. If the value is greater than the fitness value of the original chromosome, crossover repair is performed; otherwise, the original chromosome is retained.
[0033] 6) Genetic mutation operation. Adaptive mutation operation is performed on the combination of tension ratio parameters of chromosomes in the inferior population according to the mutation probability. That is, two different mutation nodes are randomly generated, and the genes of the chromosome to be mutated in the inferior population are interchanged at the two mutation nodes. According to the combination of tension ratio parameters after mutation, the corresponding contour control curve is solved by combining the coordinates of the control point position and the tangent direction to form a new chromosome and complete the mutation operation.
[0034] 7) Termination condition judgment: Determine whether the maximum number of iterations has been reached. If so, output the optimal tension ratio parameter combination scheme; otherwise, proceed to step 4) for iterative optimization.
[0035] (5) Increment the value by 1, repeat (1) to (4), and obtain K optimized internal space control optimization models.
[0036] (1) Use the optimal Latin hypercube sampling method to sample and obtain a series of control point tension ratio parameter sample points; repeat step two to obtain M control curves based on the longitudinal and transverse contour parameterization of the fuselage and all typical profiles, and generate M fuselage three-dimensional models; (2) For M fuselage three-dimensional models, the corresponding aerodynamic drag is obtained through fuselage three-dimensional modeling, structural mesh generation and CFD numerical simulation calculation, thereby obtaining the fuselage sample aerodynamic dataset; (3) Based on the aerodynamic dataset of the fuselage sample, a surrogate model is established with the minimum aerodynamic drag as the optimization objective: (9) (4) The genetic algorithm is used to optimize the fuselage aerodynamic surrogate model to obtain the optimal solution for the low-drag fuselage shape; Example illustration: The specific information regarding the fuselage design of a certain unmanned helicopter in this example is as follows: The unmanned helicopter has 5 control points for the longitudinal profile curve and 5 control points for the lateral profile curve. The corresponding control point coordinates and tangent vectors are shown in Table 1. Considering the symmetrical distribution of the lateral profile curve, 8 tension ratio parameters are formed as design variables, that is, the optimization problem in this embodiment is 8-dimensional; the range of design variables is (0,2], forming a design space.
