Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a method for thermo-aerodynamic servo-elastic coupling analysis of aircraft, belonging to the field of aircraft aeroelastic analysis technology. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing demands for high speed, high maneuverability, high load, and high flight efficiency in aircraft, the structural weight ratio of aircraft is continuously decreasing. The harsh aerodynamic and thermal environment caused by high-speed flight leads to a further decrease in structural stiffness. The thermo-aerodynamic servo-elasticity problem arising from the complex multi-physics coupling of aerodynamics, aerothermal dynamics, structural dynamics, and control seriously affects the stable operation of aircraft and is a key issue that must be addressed during the aircraft design process.

[0003] The thermal environment of an actual aircraft structure is closely related to its flight trajectory. Ground tests are difficult to accurately simulate the thermal environment of the entire ballistic trajectory of an aircraft. Numerical simulation is the main research method for the design and analysis of aircraft thermo-aeroelastic problems. In terms of research objects, most studies are limited to the thermo-aeroelastic analysis of a single airfoil. The article "Aero-thermoelastic Analysis of Control Surfaces under Different Flow Conditions [J]. Aeronautical Science and Technology, 2023, 34(11):34-43.]" simulated the flutter problem of the control surface model under different flow conditions using Fluent and Ansys coupled simulation. The article "Comprehensive Analysis of Hypersonic Airfoil Aero-thermo- and Static Aero-elasticity [J]. Journal of Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2012, 38(01):53-58.]" adopted a layered solution approach to decouple the thermo-aeroelastic problem and studied the static aeroelastic problem of the aircraft airfoil considering the influence of thermal effects. In these studies, only some state points were selected for thermo-aeroelastic analysis, ignoring the real-time changes of the aircraft's aerodynamic environment along the trajectory, and thus failing to fully describe the real flight state. In terms of aerodynamic calculation, Chinese patent CN103077259A proposes an unsteady aerodynamic expression applicable to arbitrary shapes based on local piston theory, but does not consider the influence of gas viscosity on aerodynamic calculation. Summary of the Invention

This invention proposes a method for analyzing aircraft thermo-aerodynamic servo-elastic coupling, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0053] Step 1: Establish the aircraft's thermodynamic model, aerodynamic model, structural elasticity model, and servo control system model.

[0054] The thermodynamic model considers heat transfer between the aircraft surface and its surrounding environment. The aerodynamic model, based on the Navier-Stokes equations, simulates the interaction between the aircraft surface and the surrounding airflow. The servo control system model provides the control forces required for the aircraft's attitude control. The structural elasticity model uses the finite element method to analyze the dynamic response of the aircraft structure under thermal loads, aerodynamic loads, and control forces.

There are a total of n sample points and N nodes in the structure. Perform singular value decomposition on the response matrix Y to obtain the eigenvectors ψ0 and Y' of matrix Y. T YV = VΛ, ψ0 = YV. Where Λ is the diagonal matrix formed by the eigenvalues ​​ξ; V is a matrix composed of columns Y... T The matrix is ​​composed of the eigenvectors of Y. Based on the eigenvalue ξ, a small subset of basis vectors is selected, i.e., the truncated m-dimensional (m << n) POD basis ψ, to approximate the characteristics of all sample spaces. The mapping relationship between input parameters and POD modal coefficients is constructed through a Kriging surrogate model.

Use FLUENT to perform unsteady CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics, hereinafter referred to as CFD) calculations to solve the aerodynamic load training data. Based on the training data, reduce the dimensionality of the samples to obtain the unsteady aerodynamic order reduction model.

[0061] The aerodynamic order reduction model selects flight Mach number, flight Reynolds number, and flight angle of attack as design variables. Experimental design methods such as Latin hypercube are used to obtain n sample points in the design space. First, steady CFD is performed on each sample point to provide initial values ​​for the calculation of the unsteady flow field. Then, FLUENT is used to perform unsteady CFD calculations to solve for the aerodynamic load training data of the sample points under the excitation signal. Based on the training data, the sample is dimensionality reduced, and the truncated modes and modal coefficients are obtained using the POD method. A Kriging surrogate model is used to construct the mapping relationship between the input parameters and the POD modal coefficients, thus obtaining the unsteady aerodynamic order reduction model.
