[0055] It should be noted that any number of elements in the drawings is for illustration rather than limitation, and any naming is only for distinction and does not have any limiting meaning.

[0056] The principle and spirit of the present invention are explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments of the present invention.

[0057] Exemplary Methods

[0058] Reference below Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for estimating aerodynamic characteristics of a bionic aircraft provided by an embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention can be applied to any applicable scenario.

[0059] Figure 1 The process of the method for estimating aerodynamic characteristics of a bionic aircraft provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0060] Step S101, establishing a wing geometric model of the bionic aircraft based on the three-dimensional coordinates of the wing leading edge point and the chord length.

[0061] Please also read Figure 2 , Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a wing geometric model of a bionic aircraft provided in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0062] As an optional implementation, the method of establishing the wing geometric model of the bionic aircraft based on the three-dimensional coordinates and chord length of the wing leading edge point in step S101 may include the following steps:

[0063] Based on a preset spanwise segmentation number, determining the three-dimensional coordinates of all wing leading edge points after segmentation; wherein there are multiple wing leading edge points;

[0064] Obtaining the chord length of each leading edge point of the wing at an initial moment;

[0065] Based on the chord length and the number of chord-wise divisions at each leading edge point of the wing, a wing geometric model of the bionic aircraft is established.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present invention, the input conditions for establishing the wing geometric model of the bionic aircraft are the three-dimensional coordinates of i (i ≥ 2) wing leading edge points ( , , ), the chord length at each selected wing leading edge point and the spanwise division number and the chordwise division number between every two coordinate points. The spanwise division number and the chordwise division number can both be the number of division vortex grids.

[0067] Based on the number of spanwise divisions, the three-dimensional coordinates of all wing leading edge points after division are first defined. The definition method can be to use a two-variable first-order equation to perform linear fitting on the position points between each segment, and the spacing of all grid points between every two input three-dimensional coordinate points of the wing leading edge points is evenly distributed.

[0068] Then, the chord length at each leading edge point of the wing after the given segmentation at the initial moment is obtained.

[0069] Finally, based on the chord length data at each wing leading edge point and the number of grids that need to be divided along the chord direction, the chord-wise grid points are divided using the same method of fitting a binary linear equation.

[0070] Finally, the coordinates of all grid points on the wing surface are obtained, and thus the wing geometric model of the bionic aircraft is established using this method.

[0071] Step S102, inputting initial parameters into the wing geometric model, and outputting the aerodynamic resultant force perpendicular to the wing of the bionic aircraft at the current moment.

[0072] In the embodiment of the present invention, the initial parameters may include the end time and the time interval step. The initial parameters may also include the flight speed of the bionic aircraft, the flapping speed of the wing and the flapping attitude description function.

[0073] Optionally, the wing geometric model is divided into a plurality of vortex grids, and the method of outputting the aerodynamic resultant force perpendicular to the wing of the bionic aircraft at the current moment in step S102 may include the following steps:

[0074] The incoming flow velocity is calculated based on the incoming flow velocity and the conversion matrix in the global coordinate system; wherein the conversion matrix is ​​a conversion matrix for converting the global coordinate system to the aerodynamic calculation coordinate system;

[0075] The relative incoming flow velocity is calculated based on the length of the vortex grid from the flapping axis of the wing, the flapping angular velocity, and the flapping angle;

[0076] According to the incoming flow velocity, the relative incoming flow velocity and the induced velocity of each vortex grid, the sum velocity of each vortex grid is calculated;

[0077] Based on the summed speeds of the vortex grids, the aerodynamic resultant force perpendicular to the wing of the bionic aircraft at the current moment is determined.

[0078] In the embodiment of the present invention, compared with the traditional steady-state vortex grid method, the unsteady vortex grid method used in this study introduces the relative incoming flow velocity generated by the flapping speed when calculating the wing circulation. Based on the wing model with divided vortex grids, the sum velocity at the i-th vortex grid is for:

[0079]

[0080] in, is the incoming flow velocity, is the relative flow velocity caused by the flapping speed of the wing surface, is the induced velocity of other vortices at the i-th vortex:

[0081]

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] in, is the incoming flow velocity in the global coordinate system, The transformation matrix from the global coordinate system to the aerodynamic calculation coordinate system; is the distance between the i-th vortex control point and the flapping axis, ω is the flapping angular velocity, and φ is the flapping angle; is the induced velocity of the jth vortex at the i-th vortex ( is the induced velocity of the unit intensity circulation at the jth vortex at the i-th vortex, is the actual circulation of the jth vortex grid). According to the no-penetration boundary condition, the normal velocity of the airfoil is 0:

[0085]

[0086] Step S103, determining the torsion angle of the chord-wise load-bearing rod of the wing around the leading edge of the wing according to the aerodynamic resultant force.

[0087] Please also read Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 3 A simplified schematic diagram of a wing load-bearing structure provided in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 A simplified schematic diagram of wing structure deformation based on cantilever beam bending theory provided in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0088] As an optional implementation, the method of determining the torsion angle of the chord-wise load-bearing rod of the wing around the leading edge of the wing according to the aerodynamic resultant force in step S103 may include the following steps:

[0089] Determining the resultant force action point of the aerodynamic resultant force in the chord direction;

[0090] The deflection generated at the end of the cantilever beam is calculated based on the aerodynamic resultant force, the point of action of the resultant force, the length of the cantilever beam of the wing, the elastic modulus of the material of the chord-wise load-bearing rod, and the moment of inertia of the cantilever beam of the wing around the fixed support position;

[0091] The deflection is calculated based on inverse trigonometric functions to obtain a torsion angle of the chord-wise load-bearing rod of the wing around the leading edge of the wing.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present invention, the wing surface load-bearing structure is first simplified. Except for the leading edge, it is assumed that only the chord-wise load-bearing rod structure is provided at the bending position, such as Figure 3 As shown, the two leading edge rods are hinged at the bending position, and the chord-wise load-bearing rod is fixedly supported with the inner wing leading edge rod to form a cantilever beam structure along the chord direction of the airfoil.

[0093] When considering the bending deformation angle of the chord-wise load-bearing rod, we first need to calculate the aerodynamic force of the outward extension of the load-bearing rod (in this embodiment, the outer wing section of the flapping wing) perpendicular to the wing surface. and its resultant force point in the x direction (chord direction) :

[0094]

[0095]

[0096] Assuming that the skin does not bear any load, the wing skin is in a tensioned state at any time, and the aerodynamic resultant can fully act on the load-bearing rod structure. The aerodynamic resultant of the outer wing section acts on the chord-wise load-bearing rod structure as shown in the figure. Figure 4 shown.

[0097] According to the cantilever beam bending theory, the force is applied to the fixed support point (the leading edge of the wing) When the cantilever beam is at a point, the calculation formula for calculating the deflection generated at the end of the cantilever beam can be:

[0098]

[0099] in, is the deflection, is the aerodynamic force, is the point of action of the resultant force, l is the cantilever beam length of the wing, that is, Figure 4The total length of the mid-chord bearing rod; E is the elastic modulus of the material of the chord bearing rod, and I is the moment of inertia of the cantilever beam of the wing around the fixed support position.

[0100] Furthermore, due to the small deformation, the bending deformation can be simplified to a rotation around the leading edge, and the torsion angle of the chord-wise load-bearing rod around the leading edge of the wing can be obtained by the inverse trigonometric function:

[0101]

[0102] Step S104, if the current moment has not reached the termination moment, the wing geometry model is updated according to the torsion angle, and after the time interval step, the aerodynamic resultant force perpendicular to the wing of the bionic aircraft at the current moment is output based on the updated wing geometry model, and step S103 is executed.

[0103] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the torsion angle at the load-bearing rod is obtained, since the tail of the wing root is connected to the rudder surface, the displacement of the skin at the wing root is limited, and the chord-wise length at the wing tip is zero, the torsion angles around the leading edge at the wing root and the wing tip are both zero. Since the skin is assumed to be in a tensioned state, the torsion angles at other span-wise positions from the chord-wise load-bearing rod position to the wing root and the wing tip can be obtained by linear interpolation. After the torsion angles at the span-wise positions of each control point are obtained, the coordinates of each control point can be updated, and aerodynamic calculations can be performed again.

[0104] Step S105, if the current moment reaches the end moment, the aerodynamic resultant force is decomposed to obtain the flapping lift in the vertical direction and the horizontal resultant force of the thrust and the drag in the horizontal direction.

[0105] Please also read Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 , Figure 5 Schematic diagram of comparison between the instantaneous lift curve at an angle of attack of 0° calculated by the aerodynamic characteristics estimation method of the bionic aircraft of the present invention and the CFD simulation result; Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the comparison between the instantaneous lift curve at an angle of attack of 6° calculated by the aerodynamic characteristics estimation method of the bionic aircraft of the present invention and the CFD simulation result; Figure 7 A schematic diagram showing a comparison between an instantaneous lift curve at an angle of attack of 12° calculated by the bionic aircraft aerodynamic characteristics estimation method of the present invention and a CFD simulation result; Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram comparing the variation of the period average lift with the angle of attack calculated by the method for estimating the aerodynamic characteristics of a bionic aircraft according to the present invention with the CFD simulation results; it can be seen that the lift value within the period of this embodiment and the period average value have a good degree of similarity.

[0106] The present invention can construct a wing geometry model based on the three-dimensional coordinates of the leading edge point of the wing and the chord length, and based on the wing geometry model, through fast aerodynamics and solid mechanics simplified estimation methods, quickly obtain the aerodynamic characteristics results of a flapping-wing aircraft, and use an unsteady vortex lattice method to calculate the aerodynamic force of flapping wings by introducing the reverse velocity of the flapping velocity as the incoming flow velocity, and a method for simplifying and correcting the flapping wing deformation using the cantilever beam bending theory, thereby more accurately and quickly estimating the aerodynamic characteristics of a bionic aircraft.
