Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of computer technology methods, and in particular to an analysis method for large angle of attack and large angle of attack aerodynamic interpolation. Background Technology

[0002] For axisymmetric aircraft, during the iterative process of solving the flight dynamics equations, aerodynamic parameters are interpolated at each iteration step based on the current flight state parameters to obtain aerodynamic forces and aerodynamic torques. These are then substituted into the dynamics equations to calculate the dynamic center of mass motion and rotation equations about the center of mass.

[0003] In solving the dynamic equations, attitude angles (pitch angles) are usually used first. The equation relating yaw angle ψ and roll angle γ), and velocity angles (ballistic inclination angle θ, ballistic deflection angle σ) is used to calculate the sideslip angle, and then the angle of attack and total angle of attack are calculated. The formulas for calculating the sideslip angle, angle of attack, and total angle of attack are as follows:

[0004]

[0005] This method calculates angles of attack and sideslip angles within the range of -90° to 90°, which is fine for most stable aircraft. However, for aircraft with large angles of attack exceeding 90° or statically unstable aircraft, the range of angle of attack and total angle of attack will exceed 90°. The angle of attack range is defined as -180° to 180°, and the total angle of attack range is defined as 0° to 180°. In these cases, the above method will no longer be applicable. Furthermore, the sideslip angle needs to be determined by the flight status, and the results cannot be directly analyzed using the above calculation method.

[0006] In aerodynamic parameter interpolation, for axisymmetric aircraft, pitch parameters are typically "symmetrically" mapped to yaw parameters. Then, aerodynamic forces and moments for pitch and yaw are calculated using angle of attack and sideslip angle interpolation, respectively, and then substituted into the dynamic equations for calculation. Since the methods for calculating angle of attack and sideslip angle are not applicable, the interpolation calculations for aerodynamic forces and moments are also inapplicable. Furthermore, for axisymmetric aircraft, aerodynamic parameters usually only provide angle of attack information; when using "symmetrical" aerodynamic data interpolation at large angles of attack, data distortion will result. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to design an analysis method for large angle of attack and large angle of attack aerodynamic interpolation in order to solve the above problems.

[0008] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solutions:

[0009] Analysis methods for high angle of attack and high angle of attack aerodynamic interpolation include:

[0010] S1. Obtain the launch system velocity vector of the aircraft and acquire the flight attitude of the aircraft in real time;

[0011] S2. Construct the projectile coordinate system and velocity coordinate system;

[0012] S3. Analyze the transformation matrix from the launch system to the missile body coordinate system based on the current flight status of the aircraft;

[0013] S4. Analyze the velocity vector of the projectile coordinate system based on the transformation matrix and the velocity vector of the launching system;

[0014] S5. Based on the velocity vector of the projectile coordinate system and the angular relationship between the projectile coordinate system, the vector method is used to analyze the angle of attack α, sideslip angle β and total angle of attack η of the aircraft.

[0015] S6. In the plane of total angle of attack, using the aerodynamic parameter table, interpolate the total normal force coefficient C in the plane of total angle of attack. N Total axial coefficient C A and total pitching moment coefficient m h ;

[0016] S7, the total normal force coefficient C N and total axial force coefficient C A Decompose the aerodynamic coefficients to the projectile coordinate system, and decompose the total pitching moment coefficient m. h Torque coefficients decomposed into the projectile coordinate system.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: This method can analyze angles of attack exceeding 90° based on velocity vectors, and is applicable to the analysis of angles of attack and sideslip angles in flight with large angles of attack or statically unstable flight. It can also directly analyze the direction of sideslip angles. The aerodynamic force and aerodynamic moment conversion method of the total angle of attack plane in this method can convert the aerodynamic force and aerodynamic moment of the total angle of attack plane to the projectile coordinate system while ensuring interpolation accuracy, which can simplify the number of aerodynamic calculation state points in the space.

[0035]

[0036]

[0038] Where V is the magnitude of the resultant velocity, atctan2(V y1 V x1 ) is defined as:

[0044]

[0045] In the formula: These are the unit vectors in the directions of the O1-X1Y1Z1 coordinate axes of the projectile coordinate system;

[0051]

[0052] After expanding the cross product of vectors, we have:

[0053]

[0054] As can be seen from the above formula, the total normal force does not contribute to the axial force.

[0055] The aerodynamic coefficients in the projectile coordinate system are then expressed as:

[0060]

[0061] The moment coefficient of the projectile coordinate system is expressed as:

[0062]

[0063] From the above formula or The vector expression shows that the rolling moment is 0. Aerodynamic analysis also indicates that the projectile's axis lies in the plane of total angle of attack, and the contribution of the total angle of attack plane moment to the rolling moment is zero. The rolling moment is typically calculated independently through the rolling path.

[0064] Compared to solving for angle of attack and sideslip angle using the relationship equations between attitude angles (pitch, yaw, roll) and velocity angles (ballistic tilt, ballistic deflection), this method can solve for large angles of attack exceeding 90°, and can directly solve for the direction of sideslip angle through formulas; it can be directly used for dynamic calculations and aerodynamic interpolation calculations of high angle of attack flight or statically unstable aircraft; in addition, the calculation method derived in this invention has simpler formulas and higher calculation efficiency.

[0065] The method for converting total angle of attack plane aerodynamic force and aerodynamic torque proposed in this paper can effectively avoid the accuracy loss caused by "symmetrical" aerodynamic data, and can effectively reduce the calculated state quantities of aerodynamic data tables.

[0066] The method described in this paper is also applicable to dynamic calculations and aerodynamic interpolation calculations for small angles of attack.
