In order to achieve omnidirectional shielding of the engine turbine end face in an ultra-short design space, its curvature is bound to increase, and the aerodynamic loss will also increase, which will cause thrust loss.

[0094] The comprehensive design of the engine S-bend nozzle by controlling the middle special-shaped surface, controlling the segmented curvature of the surface, and controlling the segmented contraction of the cross-sectional area along the flow direction is a feasible approach to resolve the contradiction between the aerodynamic requirements of the ultra-short-range S-bend nozzle and the low-detectability requirements of the aircraft. Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides an aircraft engine nozzle design method. In order to solve the problem that the ultra-short-range S-bend nozzle is difficult to take into account the aerodynamic characteristics while meeting the omnidirectional shielding of the engine outlet, the middle control surface is segmented and special-shaped to reduce the degree of bending of the inner tube. The curvature and cross-sectional area of the inner tube are then controlled to reduce the aerodynamic loss of the low-detectability ultra-short-range nozzle and improve the thrust. Figure 1 shown.
[0095] Step 1: Determine the center point of the S-bend nozzle outlet.
[0096] If the S-bend nozzle relies solely on longitudinal or spanwise S-bend design, it is difficult to reduce the degree of inner tube curvature within an ultra-short distance. Both are required. Therefore, y1 in the center point O1 (x1, y1, z1) of the S-bend nozzle outlet needs to form a certain spanwise eccentricity with y0 in the center point O0 (x0, y0, z0) of the S-bend nozzle inlet. In order to control the curvature of the inner tube, the spanwise eccentricity should be controlled within 0.7D, where D is the engine outlet diameter.
[0097] Step 2: Determine the center line of the inner tube of the S-bend nozzle.
[0098] S21. Connect the center points O0 and O1 of the inlet and outlet of the S-bend nozzle, draw a spline l0 tangent to the inlet and outlet planes.
[0099] The coordinates (x, y, z) of any point on the spline l0 meet the following requirements:
[0100]
[0101] in,
[0102] η1 is the position ratio, ranging from 0 to 1.
[0103] S22, a station point 50% to 60% on the sampling line l0 is longitudinally offset. The offset of this point from the center point O0 of the S-bend nozzle inlet is controlled within 0.7D and recorded as the intermediate control surface reference design point O mid-0 .
[0104] S23, connect the S-bend nozzle inlet center point O0, the intermediate control surface reference design point O mid-0 , the center point O1 of the S-bend nozzle outlet is tangent to the inlet and outlet planes of the S-bend nozzle, and a spline l is drawn 1-0 , as the center line of the inner tube of the S-bend nozzle.
[0105] Step 3: Determine the S-bend nozzle outlet area.
[0106] To improve low-observability performance, the S-bend nozzle outlet is designed to be reverse-beveled. Its outlet area is related to the engine's original axisymmetric nozzle outlet area, bevel angle, and nozzle total pressure loss. The specific calculation is as follows:
[0107] A out =A yuan ×(2-σ) / cosθ;
[0108] in,
[0109] A out is the exit area of the S-bend nozzle;
[0110] A yuan is the engine's original axisymmetric nozzle outlet area;
[0111] σ is the estimated total pressure recovery coefficient of the S-bend nozzle;
[0112] θ is the bevel angle of the S-bend nozzle outlet.
[0113] Step 4: Determine the shape of the S-bend nozzle outlet.
[0114] The S-bend nozzle outlet shape is designed as a multi-segment arc shape based on the low detectability requirements, and is designed based on the principle of facilitating integration with the fuselage. In order to make the rear section of the S-bend nozzle have a significant rectifying effect, the transition radius should be no less than 120mm.
[0115] Step 5: Determine the area of the middle control surface of the S-bend nozzle.
[0116] The area of the middle control surface is related to the area distribution of the S-bend nozzle pipe. The shape of the curved surface at this position changes more dramatically, so the curved surface area should be larger. Its area can be calculated according to the following formula:
[0117] A(x)=(A out -A in )×(-3×η2 4 +4×η2 3 )+(1+k×η2)×A in ;
[0118] x0+0.5(x1-x0)≤x≤x0+0.6(x1-x0);
[0119] in,
[0120] A in is the inlet area of the S-bend nozzle;
[0121] A out is the exit area of the S-bend nozzle;
[0122] η2 is the ratio of the center point position of the S-bend spray surface, and its value is 0.5~0.6;
[0123] k is the correction coefficient, and its value ranges from 0.02 to 0.05.
[0124] Step 6: Determine the middle control surface curve of the S-bend nozzle, such as Figure 2 shown.
[0125] S61, passing the intermediate control surface reference design point O mid-0 Make the center line of the inner tube of the S-bend nozzle l 1-0 The normal plane intersects with the upper surface of the fuselage to obtain curve l2.
[0126] S62, in the normal plane, take the middle control surface as the reference design point O mid-0 With point φ as the center, draw a rectangle with a length of 2H and a width of 2W, where H is the height of the nozzle outlet and W is the width of the nozzle outlet.
[0127] S63. Construct points P1, P2, and P3 on the normal plane to control the upper edge line l3 of the middle control surface of the S-bend nozzle, where:
[0128] The distance between point P1 and the upper edge of the rectangle is D1, and the center point O of the middle control surface ismid-0 The distance to the left is L1;
[0129] The distance between point P2 and the upper edge of the rectangle is D2, and the center point O of the middle control surface is mid-0 The distance to the left is L2;
[0130] Point P3 is at a distance D3 above the upper edge of the rectangle and at the center point O of the middle control surface. mid-0 The distance to the right is L3;
[0131] L1 is set to W, D1 is set to 0.9H, L2 is set to 0.5W, D2 is set to 0.2H,
[0132] The value of L3 is 0.9W and the value of D3 is 0.4H.
[0133] The curve l2 is offset by D0 along the normal plane as the check line of the upper edge line l3 of the middle control surface of the S-bend nozzle. The upper edge line l3 of the middle control surface of the S-bend nozzle should not exceed the check line to meet the space layout requirements, where D0 is 1.2H.
[0134] S64. Make points P4, P5, and P6 on the normal plane to control the lower edge line l4 of the middle control surface of the S-bend nozzle, where:
[0135] Point P4 is at a distance D4 above the lower edge of the rectangle and is at the center point O of the middle control surface. mid-0 The distance to the left is L4;
[0136] The distance between point P5 and the lower edge of the rectangle is D5, and the center point O of the middle control surface is mid-0 The distance to the left is L5;
[0137] Point P6 is at a distance D6 above the lower edge of the rectangle and is at the center point O of the middle control surface. mid-0 The distance to the right is L6;
[0138] The value of L4 is 0.7W, the value of D4 is 0.3H, the value of L5 is 0.1W, the value of D5 is 0.35H, the value of L6 is 0.8W, and the value of D6 is 0.3H.
[0139] The inner tube of the S-bend nozzle is designed in an upper S-bend form, and low-detectability omnidirectional shielding is mainly ensured by the lower edge line. Among them, the position of point P5 is the most important, which is the inflection point of the concave shape of the middle control surface.
[0140] S65, connecting points P3 and P6, as the control line l5, draw an arc line l6, which is tangent to the upper edge line l3 of the middle control surface of the S-bend nozzle and the control line l5, and draw an arc line l7, which is tangent to the upper edge line l3 of the middle control surface of the S-bend nozzle and the lower edge line l4 of the middle control surface of the S-bend nozzle.
[0141] The point where the arc line l6 is tangent to the upper edge line l3 is between points P2 and P3.
[0142] The point where the arc line l7 is tangent to the upper edge line l3 is between points P1 and P2, and the point where the arc line l7 is tangent to the lower edge line l4 of the middle control surface of the S-bend nozzle is between points P4 and P5.
[0143] S66, take point P7 on the lower edge line l4 of the middle control surface of the S-bend nozzle and point P8 on the arc line l6 as control elements, connect points P7 and P8 to make a spline, and make it tangent to the lower edge line l4 of the middle control surface of the S-bend nozzle and the arc line l6 to obtain spline l8, as shown in Figure 3 shown.
[0144] Points P7 and P8 are intercepted on the lower edge line l4 and arc line l6 of the middle control surface of the S-bend nozzle through the curve length ratio, and the curve length ratio is specifically 0.92l4 and 0.8l6.

[0146] The area of the intermediate control surface shall not exceed 5% of the inlet area of the S-bend nozzle. The curved surface shape shall be moderately concave to reduce the degree of bending of the inner tube, and the concave arc shall not exceed 2°.
[0147] Step 7: Design the inner tube control line of the S-bend nozzle.
[0148] S71. Design seven control points at the S-bend nozzle inlet, the middle control surface, and the S-bend nozzle outlet. Draw splines from the S-bend nozzle inlet-middle control surface-S-bend nozzle outlet in sequence. The splines are tangent to the S-bend nozzle inlet and outlet, and seven control lines τ are obtained. n (n=1~7).
[0149] S72, on each control line τ n Take a control point at the 80% position of the control line and divide the control line into three segments, namely ab segment, bc segment, and cd segment, where a, b, c, and d are the control points on the S-bend nozzle inlet, the middle control surface, the 80% position of the control line, and the S-bend nozzle outlet, respectively.

[0159] Taking the first control line τ1 as an example, the line segment is divided into a1-b1 segment, b1-c1 segment, and c1-d1 segment. a1, b1, c1, and d1 are the control points on the S-bend nozzle inlet, the middle control surface, the 80% position of the control line, and the S-bend nozzle outlet, respectively. N measurement points are taken in the a1-b1 segment and recorded as Take any three adjacent points Draw an arc and measure the curvature radius of the arc The rest of the second to seventh control lines τ2, τ3, τ4, τ5, τ6, τ7, and so on, can be deduced to obtain the curvature radius of any three points of each control line in the ab segment, and the average curvature radius δ of the inner tube of the S-bend nozzle in the ab segment can be calculated a-b , surface radius ratio ε a-b ,as follows:
[0160]

[0163] S75, take the center O of the middle control surface area mid-1 , connect the S-bend nozzle inlet center point O0, the middle control surface area center O mid-1 , the center point O1 of the S-bend nozzle outlet is tangent to the inlet and outlet planes of the S-bend nozzle, and the center line l of the inner tube of the S-bend nozzle is drawn 1-1 .
[0164] S76, on the center line of the inner tube of the S-bend nozzle 1-1 Take m measuring points on the top, make a normal plane at each measuring point, intersect with the inner tube to get the cross section of the inner tube along the flow direction, and calculate the seven control lines τ n Adjustments are made so that the contraction ratio of the cross-sectional area of the inner tube of the S-bend nozzle does not exceed ≤5% in the ab section, does not exceed 5% in the bc section, and is not less than 18% in the cd section.
[0165] Step 8: Generate the S-bend nozzle profile.
[0166] The seven control lines τ in the inner tube of the S-bend nozzle n (n=1~7) is used as a guide line to generate the S-bend nozzle profile through the multi-section surface forming function.
[0167] The above embodiment discloses a method for designing an aircraft engine nozzle. First, the intermediate control surface is used as a core design element. This method has three effects on ultra-short-range nozzles: first, it increases the number of bounces of the electromagnetic incident wave in the cavity to improve the rearward low-detectability performance of the S-bend nozzle; second, it reduces the degree of inner tube bending and participates in the control of the inner tube curvature and area to reduce aerodynamic losses; and third, it reduces the S-bend offset, thereby achieving low-detectability shielding of the ultra-short-range S-bend nozzle and increasing the distance from the fuselage surface, thereby solving the problem of inner tube layout of the S-bend nozzle. Secondly, the S-bend nozzle is divided into three sections: bow, middle, and tail, starting from the middle control surface and the 80% centerline cross-section. The curvature and area distribution of the pipe are controlled in each section. The bow section is designed to achieve rapid partial shielding, with a rapid transition in cross-sectional shape and surface curvature. Excessive flow velocity in this section can lead to adverse phenomena such as flow separation and swirl, requiring a gradual change in controlled area to reduce the flow velocity. The middle section is a transitional section connecting the preceding and following sections, aiming to enhance shielding and pre-set accelerated expansion. This requires a rapid transition in surface curvature, but the area begins to converge rapidly. The tail section, with accelerated expansion and strong thrust as its primary goals, requires a rapid convergence in area, but a slow transition in surface curvature is required to avoid high-speed flow separation. Finally, designing the S-bend nozzle outlet with a reverse bevel can further improve the S-bend nozzle's radar scattering characteristics. It is important to note that the reverse bevel outlet should not cut off the S-bend nozzle throat to ensure that the S-bend nozzle's aerodynamic performance is not affected.
[0168] The above embodiment discloses a method for designing an aircraft engine nozzle, which designs an intermediate control surface from the S-bend nozzle inlet along the normal plane at the 50% to 60% position of the S-bend nozzle centerline. The curved surface and the direction of the S-bend centerline are used to achieve full omnidirectional shielding of the engine turbine end face, and the S-bend nozzle is divided into three sections based on the intermediate control surface. The S-bend nozzle inlet-intermediate control surface is the head section, and the cross-sectional area decreases slowly and the cross-sectional shape transitions rapidly. The intermediate control surface-80% centerline position section is the middle section, and the cross-sectional area decreases at a moderate speed and the cross-sectional shape transitions rapidly. The 80% centerline position section-S-bend nozzle outlet is the tail section, and the cross-sectional area decreases rapidly and the cross-sectional shape transitions slowly.
[0169] The head of the S-bend nozzle is responsible for the rapid bending of the inner tube and the slow reduction of the area. Its curved surface radius ratio is not less than 2, and the area shrinkage is not more than 5%; the middle part of the S-bend nozzle is responsible for the rapid bending of the inner tube and the medium-speed reduction of the area. Its curved surface radius ratio is not less than 2, and the area shrinkage is not more than 10%; the tail part of the S-bend nozzle is responsible for the slow bending of the inner tube and the rapid reduction of the area. Its curved surface radius ratio is not more than 6, and the area shrinkage is not less than 18%.
[0170] The above embodiment discloses a method for designing an aircraft engine nozzle, which can reduce the overall curvature of the inner tube to 0.7D (0.9D in conventional design) within a space with an aspect ratio of less than 3.5D through segmented special-shaped design of the intermediate control surface, gentle convergence control of the curved surface area, segmented control of the curved surface radius ratio, and control of the cross-sectional area along the flow direction. This can not only achieve omnidirectional shielding of the engine outlet to meet low detectability requirements, but also reduce the curvature of the inner tube, effectively reducing the aerodynamic loss of the S-bend nozzle, and thus reducing the thrust loss of the S-bend nozzle.
[0171] The above embodiment discloses a method for designing an aircraft engine nozzle, in which the shape of the intermediate control surface is segmentedly designed as a "wing blade concave shape" based on the results of aerodynamic and low-detectability evaluations, which can reduce the degree of bending of the inner tube. At the same time, considering that the surface transition caused by the special shape of the intermediate control surface is relatively complex, the cross-sectional area along the flow direction from the S-bend nozzle inlet-intermediate control surface-80% centerline position cross-sectional area is segmented to reduce aerodynamic losses.
[0172] The above embodiment discloses a method for designing an aircraft engine nozzle, which achieves moderate control of the degree of curvature of the inner tube by controlling the parameters of the position, cross-sectional shape, and cross-sectional area of the intermediate control surface, in conjunction with the flow direction cross-sectional area variation pattern and the centerline transition form within the tube, thereby reducing aerodynamic losses caused by excessive curvature.
