In this embodiment, the initial fan model can be constructed based on, but not limited to, the distance between the wheel fan and the wheel of the target aircraft and the maximum external dimensions of the wheel fan. At the same time, the aforementioned initial fan model and brake cooling channel model can also be constructed first, and then the aforementioned models are stored in the aircraft design end, and then they can be called when used. Of course, the aforementioned initial fan model and brake cooling channel model can be constructed using commonly used three-dimensional modeling technology, and the principle will not be repeated here.
[0080] After obtaining the initial fan model and the brake cooling channel model of the target aircraft, a fluid simulation model for the wheel fan when dissipating heat can be established based on the two, so as to obtain the initial performance parameters of the wheel fan when it meets the brake cooling requirements based on the fluid simulation model; wherein, the process of determining the initial performance parameters can be but is not limited to as shown in the following step S2.
[0081] S2. Based on the initial fan model and the brake cooling channel model, a fluid simulation model for wheel fan cooling is established, and the fluid simulation model is used to obtain the initial performance parameters of the wheel fan that meet the brake cooling requirements of the target aircraft; in specific implementation, for example, but not limited to, Ansys Fluent can be used to perform corresponding fluid simulations, and during the simulation, the rotation speed of the wheel fan is changed, and then the temperature of the brake device of the target aircraft is observed. In this way, after continuous simulation processing, the initial performance parameters when the brake cooling requirements are met can be determined, that is, the aforementioned initial performance parameters only represent the parameters when the cooling requirements are just met, and are not the optimal performance parameters; of course, the aforementioned brake cooling requirements can be set according to actual use (such as including cooling time, air volume, etc.), and are not specifically limited here.
[0082] Optionally, the aforementioned initial performance parameters may include but are not limited to: fan speed, fan static pressure and fan air volume. Of course, other parameters may also be included, such as fan power, torque, time to complete the cooling task, etc., among which the initial performance parameters can be found in Table 1 below.
[0083] Table 1 shows the performance parameters of the wheel fan when it initially meets the brake heat dissipation requirements.
[0084] Table 1
[0085]
[0086] After obtaining the initial performance parameters of the wheel fan, the structure of the initial fan model can be optimized based on the initial performance parameters, that is, the structural geometric parameters of the wheel fan are determined, and based on this, the model structure is optimized; wherein, the process of determining the structural geometric parameters of the wheel fan can be but is not limited to as shown in the following step S3.
[0087] S3. Determine the structural geometric parameters of the wheel fan based on the initial performance parameters; in specific applications, the fan speed, fan static pressure and fan air volume in the aforementioned initial performance parameters are used as aerodynamic indicators of the wheel fan, and then, based on this, the structural geometric parameters of the wheel fan are determined; wherein, the aforementioned parameter determination process can be, but is not limited to, as shown in the following steps S31 to S34.
[0088] S31. Based on the fan speed, the fan static pressure and the fan air volume, the specific speed of the wheel fan is calculated, and the hub ratio of the wheel fan is determined using the specific speed. In this embodiment, the specific speed of the wheel fan can be calculated by, for example but not limited to, the following formula (1).
[0089] n s =σn·Q b / Pz (1)
[0090] In the above formula (1), n s represents the specific speed of the wheel fan, n represents the fan speed, Q represents the fan air volume, P represents the fan static pressure, and σ, b, and z are all constants; among which, for example, σ, b, and z can be, but are not limited to, 5.54, 1 / 2, and 0.75, respectively.
[0091] After calculating the specific speed of the wheel fan based on the above formula (1), the hub ratio of the wheel fan can be determined based on the specific speed. Since the wheel fan is installed in the wheel axle, the generated air volume will enter the brake device through the ventilation holes on the wheel, and the diameter of the wheel axle is generally around Φ100mm. Therefore, a small hub ratio will only increase the useless work area and reduce the efficiency of the fan. Therefore, when selecting the hub ratio, a larger hub ratio should be selected according to the axle conditions. Specifically, for example, but not limited to, a relationship curve diagram between the fan specific speed and the hub ratio is obtained (the relationship curve diagram can be seen in Figure 2 Then, based on the specific speed of the wheel fan and the relationship curve diagram, the hub ratio of the wheel fan is determined, that is, the specific speed calculated according to formula (1). Figure 2 The hub ratio corresponding to the specific speed is matched; in addition, in this embodiment, the hub ratio is the ratio between the diameter of the main shaft of the wheel fan (that is, the shaft on which the fan blades are installed) and the diameter of the entire fan.
[0092] After the specific speed and hub ratio of the wheel fan are obtained through the aforementioned step S31, the circumferential speed of the wheel fan can be calculated; wherein, the calculation process can be but is not limited to as shown in the following step S32.
[0093] S32. Calculate the circumferential speed of the wheel fan based on the fan speed; in real time, for example, but not limited to, obtain the design parameters of the wheel fan (the design parameters include the outer diameter of the wheel fan, that is, the maximum diameter, which can be pre-set in the aircraft design end); then, calculate the circumferential speed of the wheel fan based on the outer diameter and the fan speed and according to the following formula (2).
[0094]
[0095] In the above formula (2), u represents the circumferential speed, D represents the outer diameter, and n s Indicates the specific speed of the wheel fan.
[0096] In this way, the circumferential speed of the wheel fan can be calculated based on the aforementioned formula (2); then, combined with the aforementioned fan static pressure, the rotational speed change of the wheel fan can be calculated; at the same time, according to the aforementioned calculated hub ratio, the axial speed of the wheel fan can also be determined; optionally, the calculation process of the aforementioned rotational speed change and axial speed can be but is not limited to as shown in the following step S33.
[0097] S33. Calculate the axial speed of the wheel fan using the fan air volume and the hub ratio, and determine the change in the rotational speed of the wheel fan using the circumferential speed and the fan static pressure. In specific implementation, the axial speed may be calculated using, but is not limited to, the following formula (3), and the rotational speed change may be calculated using, for example, the following formula (4).
[0098]
[0099]
[0100] In the above formula (3), c a represents the axial speed of the wheel fan, Q represents the fan air volume, represents the hub ratio; in the above formula (4), Δc u represents the change in rotation speed, P represents the static pressure of the fan, ρ represents the air density (the current air density), and η represents the efficiency of the wheel fan.
[0101] Therefore, based on the aforementioned formula (3) and formula (4), the axial speed and rotational speed change of the wheel fan can be calculated; then, combined with the aforementioned hub ratio and circumferential speed, the structural geometric parameters of the wheel fan can be determined; wherein, the specific determination process of the structural geometric parameters can be but is not limited to as shown in the following step S34.
[0102] S34. Based on the hub ratio, the circumferential speed, the axial speed and the change in rotation speed, the structural geometric parameters of the wheel fan are determined; in specific applications, the hub diameter, the optimal number of blades and the blade installation angle of the wheel fan are determined mainly based on the above four parameters, wherein the above hub diameter, the optimal number of blades and the blade installation angle can be calculated by, for example but not limited to, the following steps S34a to S34f.
[0103] S34a. Obtain design parameters of the wheel fan, wherein the design parameters include an outer diameter of the wheel fan.
[0104] S34b. Calculate the product of the outer diameter of the wheel fan and the hub ratio to obtain the hub diameter of the wheel fan; after calculating the hub diameter of the wheel fan, the optimal number of blades of the fan can be determined based on the hub ratio, and the determination process is shown in the following step S34c.
[0105] S34c. Based on the hub ratio, determine the optimal number of blades for the wheel fan; in this embodiment, for example, it can be but not limited to obtaining a relationship table between the hub ratio and the number of blades; then, based on the hub ratio calculated above, a table lookup and matching is performed in the relationship table to obtain the optimal number of blades for the wheel fan; wherein, the relationship table between the hub ratio and the number of blades can be but not limited to as shown in Table 2 below.
[0106] Table 2 shows the relationship between the hub ratio and the number of blades.
[0107] Table 2
[0108] Hub Ratio 0.3 0.4 0.5 0.6 0.7 Number of blades 2~8 4~6 6~12 8~16 10~20
[0109] In this way, the optimal number of blades for the wheel fan can be determined based on the aforementioned Table 2; and after obtaining the optimal number of blades for the wheel fan, the blade installation angle of the wheel fan must also be calculated; wherein, the specific calculation process of the blade installation angle can be but is not limited to as shown in the following steps S34d and S34e.
[0110] S34d. Calculate the average relative speed of the wheel fan according to the circumferential speed, the axial speed and the change in the rotation speed, and calculate the airflow angle of the wheel fan based on the axial speed and the average relative speed; in specific implementation, the average relative speed of the wheel fan can be calculated according to the following formula (5) for example but not limited to.
[0111]
[0112] In the above formula (5), w m represents the average relative velocity, c a represents the axial speed of the wheel fan, Δc u represents the change in the rotation speed, and u represents the circumferential speed.
[0113] Optionally, after calculating the average relative speed of the wheel fan, the airflow angle of the wheel fan can be calculated in combination with the aforementioned axial speed; wherein, for example, but not limited to, the airflow angle of the wheel fan can be calculated by using the following formula (6);
[0114] β m =sin -1 (c a / w m ) (6)
[0115] In the above formula (6), β m represents the airflow angle.
[0116] After the airflow angle of the wheel fan is calculated by the above formula (5) and formula (6), the blade installation angle of the wheel fan can be determined based on the airflow angle; wherein the above determination process can be but is not limited to as shown in the following step S34e.
[0117] S34e. Determine the blade installation angle of the wheel fan by using the airflow angle; in the present embodiment, for example, but not limited to, first obtain the thickness corresponding to the blade airfoil of the wheel fan; then, based on the thickness corresponding to the blade airfoil of the wheel fan, determine the blade airfoil angle of attack of the wheel fan; then, use the sum of the airflow angle and the blade airfoil angle of attack as the blade installation angle of the wheel fan.
[0118] Furthermore, when determining the angle of attack of the fan blade airfoil, the relationship diagram between different thicknesses of the fan airfoil (the fan airfoil may be a flat-bottom airfoil) and the pressure coefficient and the angle of attack may be obtained first; wherein, the relationship diagram may be found in Figure 3 As shown ( Figure 3 In represents the thickness of the blade airfoil, α represents the angle of attack of the blade airfoil, C y represents the pressure coefficient); then, the corresponding pressure coefficient can be determined based on the corresponding thickness of the blade airfoil of the wheel fan, and based on this, the corresponding blade airfoil angle of attack can be obtained in the relationship diagram.
[0119] After calculating the hub diameter, optimal number of blades and blade installation angle of the wheel fan based on the aforementioned steps S34a to S34e, the aforementioned three parameters can be used to form the structural geometric parameters of the wheel fan, and the process is shown in the following step S34f.
[0120] S34f. The structural geometric parameters are composed by utilizing the hub diameter, optimal number of blades and blade installation angle of the wheel fan.
[0121] Therefore, through the aforementioned steps S34a~S34f, the structural geometric parameters of the wheel fan can be determined; then, the initial fan model can be structurally optimized based on the aforementioned structural geometric parameters; wherein, the structural optimization process can be but is not limited to as shown in the following step S4.
[0122] S4. Based on the structural geometric parameters, the initial fan model is structurally optimized to obtain an optimized wheel-fan model; in specific applications, for example, but not limited to, the design optimization of axial flow blades is performed using a research and development platform based on Concepts NREC to obtain an optimized wheel-fan model.
[0123] After the optimized wheel-fan model is obtained, the optimal performance parameters of the optimized wheel-fan model may be determined, and the process may be but not limited to the following step S5.
