Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of aero-engines, and particularly relates to a method for determining key parameters of bird ingestion of an aero-engine based on local damage of a blade. BACKGROUND

[0002] Bird ingestion of an aero-engine has always been a major accident that seriously endangers the flight safety of an airplane. After bird ingestion of an aero-engine, a bird will first hit the fan rotor blades at the inlet of the engine, causing the blades to produce dents, deformation, tearing cracks, chunks and even breakage, and causing a series of secondary damage, thereby causing the aerodynamic performance of the blades to decrease, the thrust of the engine to decrease, and the engine to be possibly damaged, causing the engine to stall, or even the broken blades to penetrate the casing and fly out, directly endangering the safety of passengers and causing accidents of the airplane being destroyed and people being killed.

[0003] To ensure the safety and economy of an aero-engine, the bird ingestion resistance of a blade becomes an important content in the design process of the engine, and the bird ingestion resistance design and evaluation of the fan rotor blades need to be carried out in the design process of the engine to ensure that the blades of the engine meet the bird ingestion resistance requirements.

[0004] In the bird ingestion resistance design and evaluation of the blades of an aero-engine, key parameters of the bird ingestion resistance design and evaluation of the blades need to be determined, including the mass of a bird, the speed of the bird, the rotational speed of the blade and the radius of the blade impact position.

[0005] In the prior art, methods that can be used to determine the key parameters of the bird ingestion resistance of a blade include an aero-engine fan bird ingestion airworthiness compliance analysis method (CN 106649937 A) and an aero-engine fan rotor blade bird impact evaluation state and parameter determination method (201910735493.6).

[0006] For the aero-engine fan bird ingestion airworthiness compliance analysis method (CN 106649937 A), key bird ingestion parameters CIP combinations (including the speed of a bird, the rotational speed of a blade and the radius of a blade impact position) are defined, key impact parameters S L , S R , D I and D T are defined, a comprehensive key impact parameter SCIP combination is defined, the SCIP combination is the sum of the key impact parameters of all affected blades under each CIP parameter, and is calculated according to formula 1:

[0007]

[0008] Then, a simulation method is used to calculate the SCIP under each CIP parameter, and the CIP state corresponding to the maximum SCIP value is the key parameter of bird ingestion resistance.

[0009] However, in this method, the bird mass is not considered in the bird impact key parameters, and the bird impact key parameters are not comprehensive; at the same time, the key impact parameters defined in the determination process (blade leading edge stress S L , root stress S R , impact point displacement D I and tip relative displacement D T ) are mainly overall damage parameters of the blade, and do not consider local damage of the leading edge in the actual impact process. The bird impact key parameters determined according to these key impact parameters are not comprehensive and cannot reflect the local damage in the actual bird impact damage.

[0010] For the method for evaluating the state and determining the parameters of bird impact on the fan rotor blade of an aero-engine (201910735493.6), the impact mode and impact energy under different bird speeds, blade rotation speeds and blade impact positions are calculated by using theoretical formulas, and the state and corresponding parameters with the largest impact capacity are selected as the anti-bird impact key parameters.

[0011] For this method, the impact energy is mainly calculated based on theoretical formulas, and the anti-deformation ability of the structure of the impacted part itself cannot be considered, and the bird impact key parameters cannot be directly determined from the damage situation. SUMMARY

[0012] The purpose of the present application is to provide a method for determining key parameters of bird ingestion of an aero-engine based on local damage of a blade, to solve or alleviate at least one problem in the background art.

[0031] Further, the relative tear crack length hl = l / S 弦 , S 弦 is the chord length of the blade at the maximum position of the concave. 凹陷

[0049] The blade leading edge damage parameters defined in the present application include maximum damage degree of blade, local dent circumferential depth h, tear crack length l, drop length s, drop height f and drop radius r.

[0050] The maximum damage degree of blade is the maximum damage type of blade caused by bird direct impact on blade, including dent, tear and drop;

[0051] The local dent circumferential depth h is the length or depth of dent along the blade profile direction after dent appears on the leading edge, and the definition is shown in Figure 2 ;

[0055] S4. Determine and calculate the parameters for evaluating leaf damage.

[0056] The blade leading edge damage parameters were dimensionless, and the relative leading edge damage parameters were determined, including the relative local indentation circumferential depth hh and the relative tear crack length hl.

[0057] The circumferential depth of the local depression is hh = h / S 间隙 S 间隙 R is the radius of the maximum location of the depression. 凹陷 The circumferential gap at the leading edge of adjacent blades, S 间隙 =2*π*R 凹陷 / k, where k is the number of blades in a complete circle;

[0058] Relative tear crack length hl = l / S 弦 S 弦 R is the radius of the maximum location of the depression. 凹陷 The chord length of the leaf blade.

[0059] The damage evaluation parameter Φ is characterized as follows: the maximum damage to the blade is judged and divided into three categories: chipping, tearing and denting.

[0060] For the first type of blade breakage, assuming there are m blade breakages, and each breakage has a breakage length si, breakage height fi, and breakage radius ri, where i is an integer in the range of 1 to m, and m is an integer greater than 1, the damage evaluation parameter Φ is:

[0066] First, the maximum damage degree of the blade leading edge is compared. The drop block is more serious than the tear damage, and the tear is more serious than the dent damage. The bird impact key parameter combination in the most serious damage state is determined;

[0067] Then, according to the most serious damage degree, the damage evaluation parameter Φ is calculated according to the damage evaluation parameter calculation method in step 4. The larger the damage evaluation parameter Φ, the more serious the damage. The bird impact key parameter combination corresponding to the maximum damage evaluation parameter Φ is the key parameter of the aero-engine blade anti-bird impact.

[0068] The method for determining the bird impact key parameter of the aero-engine provided in the application includes the bird mass, the parameters are more comprehensive, and the method mainly depends on the actual local damage of the blade leading edge after bird impact, and can consider the strength problem and the aerodynamic performance problem caused by bird impact at the same time, and the determination basis is more comprehensive and reasonable.
