Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aircraft aerodynamic shape design, specifically relating to a multi-objective optimization design method for thin airfoils with a wide speed range that takes into account three-dimensional influences. Background Technology
[0002] Drag reduction is the most effective measure to improve the range and flight time of an aircraft, or to enhance its economic efficiency. Supersonic aircraft operate across a wide speed range, requiring designs that balance subsonic low drag, supersonic low drag, and high drag divergence Mach number performance. To reduce shock wave drag, supersonic aircraft generally use wing planforms with large sweep and low aspect ratios. This results in significant three-dimensional flow on the wing surface, with the flow environment of each airfoil profile being completely different from that in the two-dimensional environment. Often, the excellent aerodynamic performance in the two-dimensional environment deteriorates significantly in the three-dimensional environment. The most typical manifestation is the significant increase in wing drag under subsonic conditions. For these reasons, two-dimensional airfoil optimization is rarely performed in supersonic aircraft design; instead, existing classic airfoils are often selected to complete the design, hindering further refinement and improvement of the aircraft's performance.
[0003] With the development of optimization design technology, the technology for directly optimizing three-dimensional airfoils has matured. However, the problem with three-dimensional optimization is the surge in computational workload caused by the significant increase in design parameters. Aircraft design is a process of coordination and iteration among multiple disciplines. During the aircraft design process, the airfoil shape scheme needs to be improved and refined multiple times according to actual needs. High-performance airfoils and effective airfoil optimization methods will continue to play an important role in engineering design for some time to come. Especially given the current generally high performance of aircraft and relatively limited room for further improvement in aerodynamic performance, the design and optimization technology of thin airfoils are even more crucial. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The problem this invention aims to solve is the deterioration of drag in subsonic conditions under three-dimensional operating environments for the multi-objective optimization results of thin airfoils with large sweep and small aspect ratio. It proposes a wide-speed-range thin airfoil multi-objective optimization design method that takes into account three-dimensional effects.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A multi-objective optimization design method for wide-speed-domain thin airfoils considering three-dimensional influences is proposed. Based on general optimization design methods, the height of the upper surface near the leading edge of the airfoil is constrained. The chordal position range of the height constraint on the upper surface near the leading edge of the airfoil is set to 4% to 10% of the chord length. One to two chordal positions are selected for height constraint. The constraint condition is that the height of the upper surface of the leading edge of the optimized airfoil is not lower than the height of the upper surface of the leading edge of the original airfoil.
[0007] Furthermore, the height of the upper surface of the leading edge with the chordal position at the rear is greater than the height of the upper surface of the leading edge with the chordal position at the front.
[0008] Furthermore, the chordal position range for setting the height constraint on the upper surface near the leading edge of the airfoil is 5% to 10% of the chord length.
[0009] Furthermore, the chordal position range for setting the height constraint on the upper surface near the leading edge of the airfoil is 4% to 8% of the chord length.
[0010] Furthermore, the optimization design method employs one of the following: genetic method, particle swarm optimization method, or surrogate model-based optimization method.
[0011] Furthermore, the aforementioned multi-objective optimization design method for wide-velocity thin airfoils that considers three-dimensional influences is implemented based on ARI_OPT software.
[0012] Furthermore, the specific implementation method of the agent-based optimization method includes the following steps:
[0013] S1. Select the NACA64A204 airfoil as the original airfoil for optimization design;
[0014] S2. Parametrically describe the coordinates of the upper and lower surfaces of the airfoil, and perform parametric optimization design of the airfoil based on the Hicks-Henne shape function. The calculation formula is as follows:
[0015]
[0016]
[0017] Among them, y us.basic For the original airfoil upper surface function, y us To optimize the upper surface function of the rear airfoil, y ls.basic For the original airfoil's lower surface function, y ls To optimize the lower surface function of the rear airfoil, f i Let a be the perturbation function. i To optimize the corresponding coefficients of the upper surface function of the rear airfoil, b i To optimize the corresponding coefficients of the lower surface function of the rear airfoil, a i and b i These are design variables for the airfoil optimization process;
[0018] S3. The dynamic mesh in the optimization process is implemented based on the radial basis function method. The formula for calculating the radial basis function is:
[0019]
[0020] Where F(r) is the interpolation function, ||rr i || is the vector from r to ri distance, These are the weighting coefficients corresponding to the radial basis functions;
[0021] S4. Set the surrogate model to the Kring model, set the optimization conditions for the optimization objective, and then transform it into a two-dimensional airfoil. The resulting mathematical expression is:
[0022]
[0023] in, The drag is at Mach number 1.66 and lift coefficient 0.175. The drag is at Mach number 0.8 and lift coefficient 0.44. The drag at Mach number 0.82 and lift coefficient 0.44;
[0024] S5. Set the maximum thickness constraint and the torque constraint in each state during the optimization process. The resulting mathematical expression is:
[0025]
[0026] Among them, T h_max To optimize the maximum thickness of the rear airfoil, For the original airfoil's maximum thickness, |C m|Ma=1.66 To optimize the pitching moment of the rear airfoil under supersonic conditions, |C m0|Ma=1.66 |C represents the pitching moment of the original airfoil under supersonic conditions. m|Ma=0.8 To optimize the pitching moment of the rear airfoil under high subsonic speed of 0.8, |C m0|Ma=0.8 |C represents the pitching moment of the original airfoil at a high subsonic speed of 0.8. m|Ma=0.82 To optimize the pitching moment of the rear airfoil under high subsonic speed of 0.82, |C m0|Ma=0.82 | represents the pitching moment of the original airfoil at a high subsonic speed of 0.82;
[0027] S6. Select a position with a chordal position range of 4% to 10% of the chord length as the height constraint position of the upper surface near the leading edge of the airfoil. Measure the height of the upper surface at the position and set the constraint condition that the height of the upper surface of the leading edge of the optimized airfoil is not lower than the height of the upper surface of the leading edge of the original airfoil. Perform the two-dimensional airfoil optimization design of a large sweep and small aspect ratio airfoil.
[0028] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0029] The multi-objective optimization design method for wide-speed-domain thin airfoils, as described in this invention, considering three-dimensional influences, can effectively suppress wing leading-edge separation in operational conditions under three-dimensional environments to control drag in subsonic states, and reduce supersonic drag by changing parameters of the lower wing surface near the leading edge. Thus, while achieving supersonic drag reduction and increasing the drag divergence Mach number, drag performance in subsonic states is also guaranteed.
[0030] This invention presents a multi-objective optimization design method for wide-speed-range thin airfoils considering three-dimensional effects, with the core being the control of the upper surface height near the airfoil's leading edge. Due to the significant differences in drag reduction mechanisms between subsonic and supersonic flows, optimization designs that consider drag reduction in supersonic environments often feature a thinning of the leading edge to reduce shock wave drag. Extensive mechanistic analysis of the drag degradation in three-dimensional environments under subsonic conditions reveals that the reduced upper surface height near the leading edge resulting from leading-edge thinning in supersonic optimization weakens the leading-edge anti-separation capability under subsonic conditions, making the leading edge prone to separation and increasing airfoil drag in significant three-dimensional flow environments. However, controlling the height of the upper airfoil surface during optimization and reducing the leading-edge thickness through changes in the lower airfoil shape can maintain the airfoil's subsonic performance while reducing supersonic drag. This, in turn, enhances anti-separation capability in three-dimensional environments, ensuring three-dimensional aerodynamic performance.
[0031] The present invention describes a multi-objective optimization design method for wide-speed-domain thin airfoils that considers three-dimensional influences, specifically for high subsonic three-dimensional airfoil lift coefficient C. L The effect is obvious when the lift coefficient is ≥0.2, and this range of lift coefficients is the necessary range for supersonic aircraft to fly in subsonic environments.
[0032] The present invention provides a wide-velocity-domain thin airfoil multi-objective optimization design method that considers three-dimensional influences. The constraints can be easily added and can be directly added to the optimization design process without changing the overall optimization design framework. It is applicable to all optimization algorithms.

[0062] S6. Select the chordal position range as the height constraint position of the upper surface near the leading edge of the airfoil, measure the height of the upper surface at the position, and set the constraint condition that the height of the upper surface of the leading edge of the optimized airfoil is not lower than the height of the upper surface of the leading edge of the original airfoil, and carry out the two-dimensional airfoil optimization design of a large sweep and small aspect ratio airfoil.

By constraining the height, it maintains or increases the flow velocity on the upper surface near the leading edge of the airfoil, thereby reducing the three-dimensional lateral flow component and suppressing leading-edge separation. The longitudinal coordinate of the upper surface of the airfoil within the chord length range at this position is set to be no less than the longitudinal coordinate value of the original airfoil at the response position. Samples that do not meet the constraints are automatically screened out during optimization.
