TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of aerodynamics, and particularly relates to a cascade oscillation gust generator based on a small-size low-speed wind tunnel. BACKGROUND
[0002] The research on unsteady aerodynamics is always an important field in aircraft design, and gust is a certain wind disturbance with large intensity. When an aircraft encounters gust, additional unsteady aerodynamic force and moment are generated on the aircraft body, which has an adverse effect on the flight performance of the aircraft. Since the latter half of the last century, a large amount of research work has been done to better understand the influence of gust on the external flow field of the aircraft wing, and the aerodynamic response of the aircraft exposed to the disturbed flow has been studied by using theoretical, experimental and numerical methods. In order to carry out related gust flow field simulation experiments, a certain mechanical device needs to be installed in the wind tunnel to realize the disturbance of the flow field. The gust generator based on cascade oscillation to generate gust is an indispensable part of related wind tunnel experiments. In 2006, Walter et al. designed a FOV (Flow Oscillation Vanes) device installed on the sidewall of the ASE wind tunnel to generate harmonic gust in the HiLDA wing model experiment. In 2008, Ricci et al. designed a blade gust generator to verify the right and left of the X-DIA aircraft wing control system in flutter suppression and gust load mitigation, and evaluated the maximum gust speed of the gust generator under the condition of known incoming flow speed. Liu et al. studied the aeroelastic response of an elastic high-aspect-ratio wing under harmonic gust load excitation by using nonlinear elastic response analysis combined with wind tunnel experiments.
[0003] The traditional cascade oscillation gust generator has the disadvantages of obvious high-frequency vibration, complex mechanical control, large required motor power, and the like. Due to the complex control structure, the size of the wind tunnel is required to be large. In order to generate gust in a small-size wind tunnel, a new type of gust generator with simple mechanical control, high reliability and small size is needed. SUMMARY
