Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of aviation aerodynamic analysis, and in particular relates to a method and system for rapid analysis of multi-aircraft aerodynamic compatibility. Background Art
[0002] When multiple aircraft fly close together, such as in-flight refueling and formation flying, the wake flow field of the leading aircraft will have a certain aerodynamic interference on the following aircraft, which will affect the flight performance of the following aircraft and bring difficulties to the pilot in maneuvering the aircraft. For example, in special cases such as the following aircraft entering the core area of the wing tip vortex of the leading aircraft, it may even endanger the flight safety of the following aircraft. Therefore, before executing such tasks, a large amount of simulation analysis is required to demonstrate the feasibility of the scheme and formulate a safe and reliable flight mission execution procedure. The commonly used numerical analysis method is to place the multi-machine calculation model in the calculation domain at the same time for grid division, and then perform calculation analysis at the same time. The disadvantages of this method are: 1) It is necessary to have multiple aircraft shape digital models at the same time, but in most cases, the aerodynamic shape of the leading and trailing aircraft is highly confidential and the intellectual property rights belong to different units, making it difficult to carry out simultaneous simulation analysis of multiple aircraft; 2) Simultaneous simulation analysis of multiple aircraft increases the difficulty of grid division, the difficulty of calculation analysis process, and the cost of calculation resources and time.
