Generally, the predetermined range on the chord length can be set at 30% - 70%. For the leading edge, after specifying the deformation center, perform chordwise equal - ratio scaling on the first half of the blade according to the bionic structure parameters. For the trailing edge, after specifying the deformation center (the deformation center can be the same as the one specified for the leading edge), perform chordwise equal - ratio scaling on the second half of the blade according to the bionic structure parameters;

[0091] After generating a group of blades with bionic structures through the above method, replicating several blades around the circumference according to requirements can complete the design of the entire rotor.
[0092] In the actual design process, different treatments can be selected for the leading edge and trailing edge of the front rotor and the rear rotor of the open rotor engine as needed, that is, the leading edge of the front rotor, the trailing edge of the front rotor, the leading edge of the rear rotor, and the trailing edge of the rear rotor, a total of four positions, are processed as needed; at the same time, at each position (such as the trailing edge of the front rotor), the partial blade height range within 10%-100% of the total blade height can be processed according to the design requirements. For each position, the key parameters of the bionic structure include the number of bionic structure periods N wav , the scale amplitude A(r, C) of the bionic structure, the starting phase ψ start , and the bionic structure curve z = f(r, ψ start ) etc.
[0093] The rotor blade generation method of the embodiment of the present invention incorporates the design of bionic structure parameters in the blade design process, making the generated blades have bionic structures. Compared with the traditional method of directly modifying the blade on the three-dimensional blade, this method can fully combine the airfoil shape characteristics at different blade heights, is more compatible with the blade twist, bend, sweep and other shapes, the blade surface is smoother, the aerodynamic performance is better, it can reduce the aerodynamic noise of the entire rotor, and the blades generated by the present invention can ensure that the blade surface area and volume are basically the same as those of the blades designed by the traditional method, thus having less impact on the overall design of the engine and other systems.
[0094] The rotor blade generation method of the present invention will be further described below with a specific embodiment. This specific embodiment takes the blade with a serrated structure added to the trailing edge of the front rotor as an example, and specifically includes:
[0095] Step 1: According to the general blade design rules and design condition requirements, specify the basic parameters at different blade heights. These basic parameters are obtained by theoretical calculations of the design of high-subsonic propfan blades or open-rotor engine blades or by engineering experience. The basic parameters include the blade thickness curve y = f(x), the function of thickness varying with radius T = T(r), the function of chord length varying with radius C = C(r), the blade angle of attack α = α(r), the leading-edge angle of the blade shape χ1(r), the trailing-edge angle of the blade shape χ2(r), the stacking axis of the blade shape S = S(r), etc.
[0096] Step 2: For different blade height positions r, design the mean camber line according to the leading-edge angle and trailing-edge angle of the blade shape. In this embodiment, the double-circular arc method is used to generate the mean camber line. The generated mean camber line and the generated basic blade are as Figure 3 shown.
[0097] Step 3: Calculate the trailing-edge structure parameters of the front rotor according to the given basic parameters, and obtain the function of the bionic structure parameters varying with radius. In this embodiment, only the trailing edge of the front rotor adds a serrated bionic structure. Specify the blade height range of the bionic structure as the starting blade height R min = 0.84R, the ending blade height R max = R, as Figure 4 shown, Figure 4 is the schematic diagram of the blade height direction parameters in the embodiment of the present invention; as Figure 5 shown, Figure 5 is the schematic diagram of the bionic structure parameters in the embodiment of the present invention. Specify the type of the bionic structure as a triangular wave, the number of bionic structure periods N wav = 7, the scale amplitude of the bionic structure A LE = 0, A TE = 0.15C, the length of each period L c = (R max - R min ) / N wav = 0.0229R; According to the above parameters, calculate the elongation of the trailing-edge chord length L TE at each blade height, as Figure 6 shown, Figure 6 is the schematic diagram of the trailing-edge triangular wave curve in the embodiment of the present invention, where the blade shape in a certain section near the blade tip is as Figure 7 shown.
[0098] Step 4: For each discrete section, calculate the blade shape at each blade height according to the selected blade shape, mean camber line equation, chord length, thickness, and bionic structure parameters. First, generate the pressure side and suction side curves according to the blade shape and the specified mean camber line equation, as specifically shown in Figure 8 as follows, Figure 8 is the schematic diagram of the original blade shape generated in the embodiment of the present invention; in this embodiment, for the trailing edge, the specified deformation center is 0.5C, and the second half of the blade is scaled proportionally according to the bionic structure parameters, as shown in Figure 9 as follows, Figure 9 is the schematic diagram of the bionic blade shape at a certain blade height generated according to the given bionic structure parameters in the embodiment of the present invention; finally, scale the blade shape proportionally according to the chord length and thickness required for the cross-section at this blade height to generate the blade shape at this blade height, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 as follows, Figure 10 is the schematic diagram of the blade shape scaled proportionally according to the thickness and chord length in the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 11 is Figure 10 the enlarged view of the left part.
[0099] Step 5: Translate the rotated blade shape to the corresponding position in three-dimensional space along the stacking axis S(r). In this embodiment, a S(r) with sweep is specified for each of the two rows of rotors, and the S direction is taken as the axis direction, that is, the z-axis direction. The translation vector for each cross-section is Then, according to the working conditions and design specifications, calculate the appropriate incoming flow angle of attack α(r), and specify a rotation axis to rotate the blade shape; in this embodiment, it is specified that the incoming flow angle of attack of each cross-section is parallel to the incoming flow velocity under this working condition, and α(r) can be obtained through the calculation of the velocity triangle. The result after rotation and translation of a certain cross-section can be referred to Figure 12 , Figure 12 is the schematic diagram of the blade shape after translation and rotation at a certain blade height cross-section in the embodiment of the present invention; finally, draw a perpendicular line from each coordinate point on the blade shape to the axis, and intercept a length point at the radius of the specified cross-section blade height on the perpendicular line as the actual coordinate point of the blade shape. The actual coordinate points of the blade shape are mapped onto a cylindrical surface with r = 0 as the axis and a radius equal to the corresponding blade height.
[0100] Step 6: Combine the blade shapes at different blade heights to generate the overall blade shape. In this embodiment, the finally combined blade is as shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14 as follows, Figure 13 is the schematic diagram of the blade model generated in the embodiment of the present invention, Figure 14 is the schematic diagram of the open rotor blade finally generated in the embodiment of the present invention.
[0101] According to the bionic open rotor blade of this embodiment, it is imported into the computational fluid dynamics simulation calculation software for calculation. The calculation is smooth and converges well, and the flow field and noise characteristics under the corresponding working conditions are obtained. Refer to Figure 15 ,Figure 15 This is a comparison chart of the far-field directivity results of the bionic open rotor and the open rotor without bionic structure generated in the embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen from Figure 15 that the noise of this blade is generally reduced compared with the blade without bionic structure, which proves that the blade generated by this method can effectively reduce noise.
[0102] To solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a rotor blade generation device.

The bionic structure types and curves include: sawtooth wave, triangular wave, and sine wave. After setting the number of bionic structure periods as N_wav, the period length L_c is calculated, where the period length L_c = 〖(R_max - R_min) / N〗_wav. After setting the bionic structure scale amplitudes A_LE and A_TE, the leading edge chord length change L_LE and the trailing edge chord length change L_TE at each leaf height are calculated. After the bionic computing unit 803 determines the bionic structure type and curve, its starting phase ψ_start is specified, and the curve equation is denoted as z = f(r, ψ_start), where r = R_c / R, R_c is the current leaf height radius, and R is the total leaf height.
