Detailed Implementation
[0055] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0056] The present invention first simplifies the component-level model of the engine by using measurable state parameters and the physical relationships between these parameters, thereby obtaining an analytical redundancy model based on the physical model. Next, initial values are selected for the established analytical redundancy model, and equilibrium equations are established using the measurable state parameters. The Newton-Raphson method is then used for iterative solving to obtain the analytical redundancy of key output parameters and servo control feedback signals. A flowchart providing the analytical redundancy parameter scheme is available. Figure 1 .
[0057] The specific embodiment of the present invention takes the low-pressure speed N, a key output parameter of a certain type of turbofan engine, as an example. L High pressure and high speed N HLow-pressure turbine outlet total temperature T5, low-pressure turbine outlet total pressure P5, and servo control feedback signal main fuel flow W fb Taking the throat area A8 and compressor guide vane angle afa as examples to provide analytical margin, Figure 2 The diagram shows the structure of a certain type of dual-rotor turbofan engine. The method for resolving the analytical redundancy of the key output parameters and servo control loop feedback signals includes the following steps:
[0058] Step A) Based on the engine component-level model, using the provided measurable parameters and the physical relationships between the parameters, the component-level model is simplified and a simplified mathematical model of the analytical redundancy of the key output parameters and servo control feedback signals is established.
[0059] Step B), design the key output parameter: low-pressure speed N L High pressure and high speed N H Low-pressure turbine outlet total temperature T5, low-pressure turbine outlet total pressure P5, and servo control feedback signal main fuel flow W fb The analytical redundancy scheme for the throat area A8 and the compressor guide vane angle afa was proposed and verified by simulation.
[0060] The detailed steps of step A) are as follows:
[0061] Step A1) Establish a simplified mathematical model of the rotating component.
[0062] Compared to the mathematical models of rotating components in conventional component-level models, the simplified mathematical model of rotating components in this analytical redundancy component-level model eliminates the need for turbine component calculations. Therefore, the power conservation equation is omitted from the equilibrium equations. Consequently, in the fan and compressor components, no power calculations are required; only the flow rate and total temperature and pressure at the outlet need to be calculated. Taking the compressor component as an example, the aerodynamic thermodynamic formulas used in the analytical redundancy model of rotating components are introduced below.
[0063] Calculate the similar equivalent speeds of compressor components:
[0064]
[0065] Interpolating the compressor characteristic curve yields the actual flow rate and efficiency of the compressor.
[0066]
[0067] Where f1 and f2 are interpolation functions for flow rate and efficiency, C mcomp and C ηcomp These are the flow correction factor and the efficiency correction factor, π. c This refers to the compressor pressure ratio.
[0068] Compressor outlet total pressure P3:
[0069] P3 = P25 ×π c
[0070] Compressor outlet total temperature T3:
[0071]
[0072] Among them, H 25 H1 is the compressor inlet enthalpy, H2 is the compressor outlet enthalpy, and H3 is the compressor outlet enthalpy. 3,id For the ideal enthalpy at the compressor outlet, S 25 S is the compressor inlet entropy. 3,id Let be the ideal entropy at the compressor outlet.
[0073] After considering the venting gas, the compressor outlet flow rate is:
[0074]
[0075] Among them, W D It is the total bleed air flow rate of the intermediate and final stages of the compressor.
[0076] The compressor outlet static pressure is:
[0077] Ps3 = f3(0,T3,P3,W3,A3)
[0078] Where f3 is the static pressure calculation function, and A3 is the compressor outlet geometric area.
[0079] Step A2) Establish a simplified mathematical model of the inner and outer ducts.
[0080] The equilibrium equations utilize the static pressure conservation of the inner and outer ducts, so only the static pressure needs to be calculated in the simplified model of the inner and outer ducts, reducing the complexity and corresponding time consumption.
[0081] In establishing the simplified mathematical model of the bypass duct component, the most important parameter is the static pressure at the bypass outlet. Therefore, the calculation of other parameters of the bypass duct can be omitted, and the aerodynamic thermodynamic formula of the bypass duct mainly adopts the following formula:
[0082] The specific calculation expression for the airflow parameters at the outlet of the bypass duct is as follows:
[0083] Ps 16 =f3(0,T) 16 ,P 16 W 16 A 16 )
[0084] Among them, W 16 P 16 T 16 Ps 16 These are the flow rate, pressure, temperature, and static pressure at the outlet of the outer duct, respectively. 16Let be the geometric area of the duct outlet.
[0085] When establishing the simplified mathematical model of the inner duct, since the calculation of the combustion chamber and turbine components is avoided, the static pressure at the inner duct outlet only needs to be calculated based on the measured values of the total temperature and total pressure at the inner duct outlet, which greatly reduces the corresponding time consumption. The formula for calculating the static pressure is shown below:
[0086] Calculate the static pressure at the outlet of the cavity:
[0087]
[0088] Among them, W fb It is the main fuel flow rate, W 22 W6 is the fan outlet flow rate, F6 is the internal turbine outlet flow rate, T6 and P6 are the low-pressure turbine outlet temperature and pressure, which are measured values, and A6 is the internal turbine outlet geometric area.
[0089] Step A3) Establish a simplified mathematical model of the tail nozzle.
[0090] To further reduce the time consumption of the established analytical redundancy model, the aerodynamic and thermodynamic calculations for the tail nozzle are simplified. The aerodynamic and thermodynamic calculation process used in the first iteration of each step is shown in the following equation:
[0091] Total pressure P9, total temperature T9, and critical static pressure P at the nozzle exit s9,cr :
[0092]
[0093] outlet static pressure P s9 Outlet airflow Ma:
[0094]
[0095]
[0096] Export flow W9:
[0097]
[0098] Where q(Ma) and K m satisfy:
[0099]
[0100] During the remaining iterations, when the initial value of the disturbance is guessed, since the disturbance amount is extremely small, it will not have much impact on the state judgment of the tail nozzle. Therefore, there is no need to recalculate the static pressure and Mach number to judge the state of the tail nozzle. In addition, there is no need to calculate the exit section parameters during the iteration process, only the flow rate needs to be calculated. Therefore, during the disturbance process, only the formula for calculating the exit flow rate W9 needs to be used.
[0101] Step A4) Establish simplified mathematical models for other components.
[0102] The intake duct component is used to capture incoming airflow, provide inlet flow, and ensure the normal operation of the core engine. Its construction method is similar to that of the component-level model, and the formulas used are also the same as those for the intake duct of the component-level model, so they will not be elaborated here.
[0103] The function of the mixing chamber component is to uniformly mix the internal and external bypass gas flows, thereby improving gas utilization efficiency. In the analytical redundancy model, the main task is to calculate the outlet flow rate, pressure, and temperature. Therefore, compared to the component-level model, only the formulas for calculating the outlet flow rate, temperature, and pressure in the mixing chamber need to be retained.
[0104] The afterburner can further increase the gas temperature before the exhaust nozzle, thereby increasing the exhaust velocity and thus improving engine thrust. In the analytical redundancy model, only the outlet flow rate, pressure, and temperature need to be calculated; therefore, only the formulas for calculating the outlet flow rate, pressure, and temperature need to be retained.
[0105] The detailed steps of step B) are as follows:
[0106] Step B1), design the key output parameter low-pressure speed N L High pressure and high speed N H Low-pressure turbine outlet total temperature T5, low-pressure turbine outlet total pressure P5, and servo control feedback signal main fuel flow W fb A8 resolution margin scheme for throat area.
[0107] Step B1.1) involves selecting initial parameters and initial guess values based on the parameters that require resolution margin.
[0108] Based on the physical model established in the previous step for providing key output parameters and servo control feedback signal resolution redundancy, the selection of initial parameters should refer to the parameters that require resolution redundancy at this time, as shown in Table 1.
[0109] When the parameter requiring resolution margin is the key output parameter, the low-pressure speed N L High pressure and high speed N H When the low-pressure turbine outlet total temperature T5, the low-pressure turbine outlet total pressure P5, and the servo control feedback signal throat area A8 are given, the initial guess values of the initial parameters are based on the input conditions, namely the main fuel flow rate W. fb Select based on the current main fuel flow rate W fb The initial guess value under the current state is obtained by interpolation calculation using similar conversion criteria.
[0110] When the parameter requiring resolution redundancy is the servo control feedback signal, the main fuel flow rate W... fbAt that time, the initial guess of the initial parameters is based on the measured value N of the high-voltage rotor speed. Hr The selection is based on the current measured value N of the high-voltage rotor speed. Hr The initial guess value under the current state is obtained by interpolation calculation using similar conversion criteria.
[0111] Table 1. Key Output Parameters and Initial Parameters Selected for Resolution Redundancy of Some Servo Control Feedback Signals
[0112]
[0113] Where, π fan Indicates the fan pressure ratio, π compi π represents the pressure ratio of the first three stages of the compressor. comp This represents the pressure ratio of the last six stages of the compressor. Since the guide vane angles (afa) of the first three stages of the compressor in this type of turbofan engine are adjustable, while the guide vane angles of the last six stages are not, for ease of modeling, the pressure ratio (π) of the first three stages of the compressor is selected during modeling. compi and the subsequent six-stage pressure ratio π comp The flow balance equation is used as a constraint between them.
[0114] Step B1.2): Based on the selected initial parameters, and combined with the measured parameters and the physical relationships between the parameters, establish the equilibrium equations under the same number of finite measured parameters.
[0115] To simplify calculations and improve operating speed, a simplified physical model based on a component-level model was established. Compared with the component-level model, this model eliminates the relatively time-consuming calculations of turbine components, thus eliminating the need to select a power balance equation in the selection of balance equations. Furthermore, considering the provided measurable parameters and the physical relationships between them, two flow balance equations and one static pressure balance equation are retained in form. Based on the characteristic parameters, a balance equation is designed between the calculated and measured static pressure values of the model. The specific balance equation is shown below:
[0116] (1) Static pressure balance between the outlet of the outer bypass duct and the outlet of the inner bypass duct:
[0117] Ps 16 / Ps6-1.0=0
[0118] (2) Balance between the tail nozzle outlet flow rate and the afterburner outlet flow rate:
[0119] W9 / W7-1.0=0
[0120] (3) Flow balance between the first three stages and the last six stages of the compressor:
[0121] W 3X / W in -1.0 = 0
[0122] (4) Balance between compressor outlet static pressure and actual value:
[0123] PS3 / PS 3r -1.0 = 0
[0124] Among them, Ps 16 Ps6 is the static pressure at the outlet of the outer bypass duct, W9 is the static pressure at the outlet of the inner bypass duct, W7 is the flow rate at the outlet of the afterburner, and W... 3X W is the outlet flow rate of the first three stages of the compressor. in Ps is the inlet flow rate of the sixth stage after the compressor, Ps3 is the static pressure at the compressor outlet, and Ps is the static pressure at the outlet. 3r This is the measured value of the static pressure at the compressor outlet.
[0125] Furthermore, the solution for Ps6 can be directly obtained using thermodynamic calculations based on known and initial parameters, without needing to operate the turbine components according to the airflow conditions. This method effectively avoids complex aerodynamic and thermodynamic calculations inside the turbine. Theoretically, compared to component-level models, it significantly reduces computation time, providing model conditions for real-time airborne applications.
[0126] Based on the selected initial parameters and the established equilibrium equations, the Newton-Raphson method is used for iterative solution, thereby providing analytical redundancy.
[0127] Step B2) Design a solution for the analytical redundancy of the compressor guide vane angle afa in the servo control feedback signal.
[0128] Since the compressor guide vane angle afa has a significant impact on the flow rate and efficiency of compressor components, but a relatively small impact on other components, the design of the analytical redundancy scheme for the compressor guide vane angle afa is divided into two steps, with separate iterative calculations for each compressor component.
[0129] Step B2.1) focuses on the gas flow rate through the bypass to obtain two parameters: fan pressure ratio and compressor inlet flow rate.
[0130] First, select the fan pressure ratio π. fan and compressor inlet flow rate W comp With two initial parameters, focusing on the gas flow rate through the bypass duct, and considering only six components—the intake duct, fan, bypass duct, mixing chamber, afterburner, and exhaust nozzle—two remaining equilibrium equations are selected:
[0131] (1) Static pressure balance between the outlet of the outer bypass duct and the outlet of the inner bypass duct:
[0132] Ps 16 / Ps6-1.0=0
[0133] (2) Balance between the tail nozzle outlet flow rate and the afterburner outlet flow rate:
[0134] W9 / W7-1.0=0
[0135] The solution for Ps6 directly utilizes known sensor and initial parameters through thermodynamic calculations, eliminating the need to operate the turbine components according to the airflow conditions. This avoids the complex aero-thermodynamic calculations within the turbine. Using the two equations above, the Newton-Raphson method is employed for iterative solutions to obtain the fan pressure ratio π. fan and compressor inlet flow rate W comp Two parameters.
[0136] Step B2.2) focuses only on the gas flow inside the compressor components to obtain the analytical redundancy parameter of the compressor guide vane angle afa in the servo control feedback signal.
[0137] Obtain the fan pressure ratio π fan and compressor inlet flow rate W comp After that, the inlet flow rate, temperature, and pressure of the compressor components are known quantities. Considering only a single compressor component, we select the guide vane angle afa and the pressure ratio π of the first three stages of the compressor. compi The pressure ratio π of the last six stages of the compressor comp As initial parameters, two flow balance equations and one balance equation between the calculated and measured static pressure values of the compressor are designed based on the characteristic parameters. The specific balance equations are shown in the following formula:
[0138] (1) Balance between compressor outlet static pressure and actual value:
[0139] PS3 / PS 3r -1.0 = 0
[0140] (2) Flow rate of the first three stages of the compressor and W comp Traffic balancing:
[0141] W comp / W 3X -1.0 = 0
[0142] (3) The flow rates of the last six stages of the compressor are balanced with those of the first three stages:
[0143] W 3X / W in -1.0 = 0
[0144] Using the above three equations, the Newton-Raphson method is employed for iterative solution to obtain the pressure ratio π of the first three stages of the compressor. compi The pressure ratio π of the last six stages of the compressor compTwo parameters and the analytical redundancy parameter, guide vane angle afa. At this point, the analytical redundancy scheme design for the compressor guide vane angle afa of the servo control feedback signal is complete.
[0145] Step B3), after establishing the analytical redundancy of the key output and servo control loop feedback signals of the turbofan engine, now the key output parameter low-pressure speed N is... L High pressure and high speed N H Low-pressure turbine outlet total temperature T5, low-pressure turbine outlet total pressure P5, and servo control feedback signal main fuel flow W fb The analytical redundancy parameters, such as throat area A8, compressor guide vane angle afa, and the tracking performance of component-level models and actual input parameters, were simulated and verified.
[0146] Step B3.1), for the key output parameter low-pressure speed N L High pressure and high speed N H The analytical redundancy parameters of the low-pressure turbine outlet total temperature T5 and the low-pressure turbine outlet total pressure P5 are used to simulate and verify the tracking performance of the component-level model.
[0147] Select the following operating points, denoted as test points 1, 2, and 3, and perform single-point steady-state accuracy verification on the three test points.
[0148] Test point 1: H = 0km, Ma = 0, W fb =0.2kg / s, A8=0.41m 2 afa = 7.79°;
[0149] Test point 2: H = 10km, Ma = 0.8, W fb =0.4kg / s, A8=0.218m 2 afa = 0°;
