Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the field of aerospace technology, and include, but are not limited to, a method, apparatus, device and storage medium for rapid calculation of rotor induced velocity based on an improved vortex wake model. Background Technology
[0002] The rotor wake model, as a key component of the flight dynamics model, accounts for a large portion of the solution time and consumes a significant portion of the limited computational resources of the real-time simulation system. The shape of the wake structure in the wake model has a decisive influence on the spatial induced velocity distribution, and the method of describing the wake structure has a significant impact on the solution of rotor-induced inflow. Its complexity directly determines the amount of computation required to solve the model. Further simplification of the wake structure is an important way to further improve the solution efficiency of the wake model.
[0003] Currently, commonly used wake models in helicopter maneuvering flight dynamics modeling mainly include augmented dynamic inflow models considering wake distortion, free wake models, viscous eddy particle models, and vortex transport models. The Pitt-Peters dynamic inflow model with augmented wake distortion is widely used due to its simplicity, ease of use, and high computational efficiency. However, it introduces the rotor disk inflow gradient induced by wake distortion and the wake curvature coefficient, which is related to the ratio of the stable pitch angular velocity of the fuselage. Both of these vary under different flight conditions, and there is no unified selection criterion, leading to questions about the model's universality. Furthermore, the model is only used to solve for the induced inflow at the rotor disk and cannot be used to solve for the induced velocity at points outside the rotor disk region, limiting its application scenarios. While free wake models and viscous eddy particle models can capture wake distortion characteristics well, their computational load is high, making real-time simulation difficult.
[0004] The dynamic distortion vortex ring element wake model in related technologies has a relatively fast solution speed, which basically meets the simulation requirements of personal laptops. Even though the vortex ring element has simplified the wake, the calculation of the induced velocity still requires a lot of computing resources and has high hardware requirements. Although it basically meets the real-time simulation calculation requirements on a regular personal PC, the real-time performance still needs to be further improved. Summary of the Invention

The terminal and server can be directly or indirectly connected via wired or wireless communication, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present invention. The following describes an exemplary application of the rotor-induced velocity rapid calculation device based on the improved vortex wake model when implemented as a server.
[0047] This invention provides a method for rapid calculation of rotor induced velocity based on an improved vortex wake model. See [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flowchart illustrating a rapid calculation method for rotor induced velocity based on an improved vortex wake model provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 The steps shown are explained.
[0048] Step S210: Obtain the first coordinate transformation relationship between the local coordinate system of the grid vortex element and the local coordinate system of the vortex ring element.
[0049] Here, the grid vortex unit is used to characterize the simplified wake structure unit, which includes four straight vortex segments tangent to the vortex ring unit.
[0050] In some embodiments, four straight vortex segments tangent to the circular vortex ring are used to simulate or simplify the wake structure or description method of the circular vortex ring unit. Each straight vortex segment is perpendicular to the others, forming a grid-shaped grid vortex unit (e.g., Figure 2 As shown in the figure, it has a centrally symmetric structure. For ease of description, the simplified wake structure element will be referred to as the grid vortex element in this paper.
[0051] To facilitate the description of the wake structure geometry and the rapid calculation method for spatial point-induced velocities introduced in this paper, the local coordinate system O of the grid vortex will be used first. VL X VL Y VL Z VL With the local coordinate system O of the vortex ring VR X VR Y VR Z VR The coordinate transformation relationship between them. Figure 3 Local coordinate system O of the middle vortex ring VR X VR Y VR Z VR and the local coordinate system O of the grid vortex VL X VL Y VL Z VL The origin of each vortex is located at the center of the vortex ring, and the vortex ring and the grid vortex lie in the same plane. When calculating the induced velocity of a spatial point P in the local vortex ring coordinate system, it is necessary to rotate the grid vortex around the central axis of the vortex ring until the grid vortex body coordinate system X... VL Y VL Z VL X in VL The axis and the vertical plane passing through point P and the local X VR -Y VR When the lines of intersection of the planes coincide, the angle of rotation can be represented by ψ. This coordinate transformation relationship can be expressed as:
[0052]
[0053] Step S220: Based on the high similarity between the vertical induced velocities of the grid vortex unit and the vortex ring unit at spatial points along the Z-axis, a mapping relationship is constructed between the grid vortex unit and the vortex ring unit.
[0054] In some embodiments, the grid vortex element is a simplified replacement for the vortex ring element. The requirement is that when calculating the induced velocity at a specified spatial point, the induced velocity results calculated by the grid vortex element and the vortex ring element are infinitely close, in order to simulate the effect of the vortex ring element. The vertical induced velocity distribution along the Z-axis at the computational node is highly similar between a grid vortex composed of infinitely long straight vortex segments and a vortex ring of unit radius. Based on this property, a mapping relationship between the grid vortex element and the vortex ring element is constructed at the numerical level.
[0055] Step S230: When the length of the straight vortex section dominates the induced velocity distribution characteristics of the grid vortex, determine the mapping law of the length of the straight vortex section according to the mapping relationship.
[0056] In some embodiments, the variable parameters for the straight vortex segment are the straight vortex segment length L and the circulation intensity Γ. To simplify the calculation of the structural model, the variable parameters of the grid vortex element are set to use the same circulation intensity Γ and length L for the four straight vortex segments. As the height H increases, the straight vortex segment length L will dominate the grid vortex-induced velocity distribution characteristics as a parameter. Figure 4 This demonstrates the mapping relationship between the length L of the straight vortex section and the height.
[0057] In some embodiments, the mapping curve can be fitted using methods such as surrogate models. In this invention, the Dirichlet function from the family of auxiliary functions of the delta function is selected for fitting. Then, as the height H of the computational space point from the vortex ring plane increases, the mapping law of the straight vortex segment length L can be characterized as follows:
[0058]
[0059] Step S240: Calculate the vortex ring coordinates of spatial point P in the vortex ring local coordinate system at the radial distance, based on the second coordinate transformation relationship between the vortex ring local coordinate system and the propeller disk plane coordinate system.
[0060] In some embodiments, the induced flow fields of the grid vortex element and the vortex ring element exhibit good consistency within the symmetry plane. Although this is a local property, it can be extended to the entire space by leveraging the symmetry of the spatially induced flow field of the equal-circulation vortex ring element. The key point is that the grid vortex element needs to be rotated around the axis of the vortex ring element when calculating the induced velocity. In the propeller disk plane coordinate system O... W X W Y W Z W Fast calculation of spatial point P(x) p ,y p ,z p The method is as follows:
[0061] In some embodiments, the coordinates of point P are transferred from the propeller plane coordinate system O. W XW Y W Z W The description is transformed to the origin in the radius vector R. VR The vector from the origin of the propeller disk plane coordinate system to the center point of the vortex ring coordinate system in the local coordinate system O of the vortex ring. VR X VR Y VR Z VR The description requires moving the origin of the coordinate system and rotating the coordinate system. The coordinates of the above spatial point in the local coordinate system of the vortex ring can be expressed as:
[0062]
[0063] Among them, R VR It is the vector from the origin of the propeller disk plane coordinate system to the center point of the vortex ring coordinate system.
[0064] In some embodiments, the calculation may also include the rotation angle ψ between the vortex ring local coordinate system and the grid vortex local coordinate system:
[0065]
[0066] Where, x VR Let y be the distance of point P in space along the x-axis of the local parallel coordinate system of the vortex ring. VR Let P be the distance of spatial point P along the y-axis of the local parallel coordinate system of the vortex ring.
[0067] Step S250: Based on the first coordinate transformation relationship and the vortex ring coordinates, calculate the vortex coordinates of the spatial point in the local coordinate system of the vortex.
[0068] In some embodiments, the grid vortex is rotated around the central axis of the vortex ring until the grid vortex body coordinate system X... VL Y VL Z VL X in VL The axis and the vertical plane passing through point P and the local X VR Y VR The lines of intersection of the planes coincide. Calculate the coordinates P(x) of the vortex in the local coordinate system. VL ,y VL ,z VL The vortex coordinate system of this grid is represented as follows:
[0069]
[0070] Step S260: Calculate the vortex-induced velocity of the spatial point based on the vortex coordinates.
[0071] In some embodiments, the induced velocity of the vortex element is calculated based on the vortex coordinates.
[0072] Among them, T VR2VL This indicates the coordinate transformation relationship between the local coordinate system of the vortex ring and the local coordinate system of the grid vortex.
[0073] Step S270: Calculate the propeller disk induced velocity of the spatial point based on the mapping rule, the second coordinate transformation relationship, and the vortex induced velocity.
[0074] In some embodiments, the induced velocity in the local coordinate system of the vortex pattern is transformed to the propeller disk plane coordinate system to obtain the propeller disk induced velocity:
[0075]
[0076] In some embodiments, step S210 can be determined in the following ways:
[0077] First, determine the local coordinate system O of the grid vortex. VL X VL Y VL Z VL and the local coordinate system O of the vortex ring VR X VR Y VR Z VR Located at the center of the vortex ring unit; the vortex ring unit and the grid vortex unit are located in the same plane. Next, the grid vortex is rotated through the central axis of the vortex ring, and the coordinate system X of the grid vortex body is... VL Y VL Z VL ZhongX VL The axis and the vertical plane passing through the spatial point and the local X VR -Y VR The intersection lines of the planes coincide, resulting in a rotation angle. Finally, based on the rotation angle, the first coordinate transformation relationship is determined; the first coordinate transformation relationship is:
[0078]
[0079] In some embodiments, the second coordinate transformation relationship is expressed as:
[0080]
[0081] Among them, X o With X W Y W The angle between them is the pitch angle θ. y X o The bottom is positive, X o Z o With Z W The angle between them is the side tilt angle θ. x The vortex ring element tilted to the left is positive, X oWith X W Z W The included angle is the yaw angle θ. z A leftward deviation is considered positive.
[0082] The rotor-induced velocity calculation method based on an improved vortex wake model provided in this invention offers higher computational efficiency compared to numerical calculation models such as free wakes and viscous vortex particles, meeting the needs of real-time simulation. Compared to existing technologies, this invention significantly improves the calculation efficiency of rotor disk-induced inflow by simplifying the wake structure description and employing a fast calculation method. When using a 1° azimuth angle to divide and superimpose the calculation of induced velocities at spatial points in the vortex ring, it not only reduces the calculation time by approximately 40 times but also avoids a significant decrease in calculation accuracy. Furthermore, compared to dynamic inflow models, this invention not only offers slightly better calculation accuracy but can also calculate the induced velocity at any point in space, thereby assisting in the calculation of aerodynamic interference between the rotor and other components, demonstrating high application value. Simultaneously, this calculation method is applicable to various aircraft configurations, requiring no manual selection of model parameters, and exhibits strong versatility.
[0083] The following will describe an exemplary application of the embodiments of the present invention in a practical application scenario.
[0084] vortex wake model (e.g.) Figure 5 The image shown is a classic wake model. The vorticity generated by the rotor forms a continuous tubular vortex tube that extends backward, constituting the outer surface of the rotor wake. The vortex tube model is suitable for analyzing various flight conditions. The calculation of the induced velocity in space using the vortex tube wake structure generally employs numerical methods. This involves discretizing the vortex tube along its centerline into multiple vortex ring elements perpendicular to the centerline, calculating the induced velocity at each spatial point using the Biot-Savart law, and finally superimposing the results. Further simplification of the vortex ring elements can effectively improve the solution speed of the vortex tube wake model, or other wake models described by vortex ring elements.
[0085] The purpose of this invention is to provide a new simplified description method and a fast calculation method for wake structures, so as to solve the problem of low calculation efficiency of rotor-induced inflow solution in the existing vortex ring unit-described vortex tube wake model, and to meet the requirements of fast and real-time calculation efficiency for real-time flight simulation.
[0086] This invention uses four straight vortex segments 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, and 1.4, tangent to a circular vortex ring, to simulate and simplify the wake structure or description method based on a circular vortex ring unit. Each straight vortex segment is perpendicular to the others, forming a grid-shaped "grid-vortex" unit (e.g., ...). Figure 2 As shown, it has a centrally symmetric structure. The grid vortex, as a method for describing the wake structure, can replace vortex ring element 2 in describing the wake structure; changes in the size of the grid vortex will simulate the distortion of vortex ring element 2.
[0087] This invention proposes a simplified description method for the wake structure under C T =0.005, μ=0.05, stable pitch velocity q / Ω=0.012 during forward flight. Comparison of the wake geometry of the vortex tube wake model described by the vortex ring element and the "grid vortex" element.
[0088] To demonstrate the computational efficiency of the proposed rapid rotor induced velocity calculation method based on the improved vortex wake model, the following calculations will compare the proposed simplified wake structure description and rapid calculation method with the conventional calculation method for circular vortex wake structures under classic vortex wakes with wake inclination angles χ of 0°, 30°, 45°, and 60°. The wake inclination angle is calculated using the following formula:
[0089] χ=arctan(μλ) (9).
[0090] In some embodiments, the method for calculating the induced velocity in space by the circular vortex ring element is to use a 1° azimuth angle as the discretization step size, use 360 straight vortex segments to discretize the circular vortex ring element into polygonal elements, then use the Biot-Savart law to calculate the induced velocity at the midpoint in space for each straight vortex segment, and then superimpose the calculation results of all straight vortex segments to obtain the final induced velocity result.
[0091] In this example, 360 computational nodes are evenly distributed on the rotor disk. The induced velocity at each point is calculated to obtain the induced velocity distribution at the rotor disk. The induced inflow distribution characteristics of the rotor, i.e., the inflow coefficients λ0 and λ, are obtained using existing mature methods. 1c ,λ 1s The non-uniform inflow to the propeller disk can be expressed by the above coefficients as follows:
[0092]
[0093] in, Let denot be the dimensionless radius of the blade, and ψ represent the azimuth angle. Table 1 shows the relative errors of different description methods and calculation methods under different wake inclination angles:

[0095]
[0096] Continued from Table 1: Comparison of Inflow Coefficient Identification Results under Stable Flight Conditions
[0097]
[0098] Table 2 Comparison of propeller disk inflow calculation time under stable flight conditions
[0099]
[0100] The inflow coefficient identification results show that the disc-induced inflow identification results of the vortex ring unit and the grid vortex unit under stable flight conditions have relatively small deviations, not exceeding 5% in the test, and the calculation results have good consistency. However, the calculation time on a personal laptop equipped with an AMD Ryzen 7 4800-H CPU shows that the new simplified description method and fast calculation method of the wake structure proposed in this invention reduces the calculation time by about 40 times compared with the vortex tube model described by the vortex ring, fully meeting the real-time simulation calculation efficiency requirements of engineering, with high computational efficiency and significant application value.
