Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of aircraft structure design, and in particular to a method for designing a vertical tail spoiler strip. Background Art

[0002] The spoiler strip can clearly distinguish the functions of the stabilizer and the rudder from the aerodynamic point of view. The stabilizer is responsible for the heading stability of the entire aircraft, while the rudder is only used to adjust the flight direction of the aircraft. After the spoiler strip is installed, the shock wave position of the local supersonic airflow is fixed at the side edge of the spoiler strip, so that the pressure center position of the vertical tail and the heading moment characteristics of the entire aircraft will not change significantly. Installing a spoiler strip on the vertical tail can provide an inward deflected plane - a concave angle surface - for the shock wave generated by the local supersonic flow. The airflow is pressurized and decelerated after passing through the oblique shock wave, and flows through the rudder at a low speed, solving the transonic vibration problem.

[0003] However, while the spoiler strip solves the problem of vertical tail vibration reduction, it also brings adverse effects to the vertical tail flow field. On the one hand, it reduces the load on the vertical tail stabilizer, that is, reduces the heading moment characteristics of the vertical tail and reduces the stability of the vertical tail; on the other hand, it increases the useless load on the rudder and reduces the rudder's control efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, it is desired to have a technical solution to overcome or at least alleviate at least one of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art. Summary of the invention

Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application are described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0076] The following is combined with Figures 1 to 19 This application is described in further detail.

[0077] The present application provides a method for designing a vertical tail spoiler strip, including the following process:

[0078] Step 1: obtaining a vertical tail configuration without spoiler strips, performing flow field analysis on the vertical tail configuration without spoiler strips, and obtaining a first flow field analysis result;

[0079] Step 2: obtaining a vertical tail configuration with no notch in the spoiler strip, performing flow field analysis on the vertical tail configuration with no notch in the spoiler strip, and obtaining a second flow field analysis result;

[0080] Step 3, obtaining a vertical tail configuration with a spoiler strip having a notch, performing a flow field analysis on the vertical tail configuration with a spoiler strip having a notch, and obtaining a third flow field analysis result;

[0081] Step 4: According to the first flow field analysis result, the second flow field analysis result and the third flow field analysis result, the configuration is improved to obtain a spoiler strip improved vertical tail configuration;

[0082] Step 5: Perform flow field analysis on the spoiler strip improved vertical tail configuration to obtain a fourth flow field analysis result, and determine whether the spoiler strip improved vertical tail configuration meets the design requirements based on the fourth flow field analysis result.

[0083] The vertical tail spoiler strip design method of this application analyzes the change of the flow field on the vertical tail before and after the spoiler strip is added, the shortcomings of the spoiler strip before improvement, and the improved design research of the spoiler strip based on the CFL3D commercial software for solving the NS equation. The software uses multi-grid technology, the turbulence model uses the SA model, and the calculation grid uses the structural grid drawn by the ICEM-CFD software.

[0084] The vertical tail spoiler strip design method of the present application is as follows: Figure 1-3 As shown, the spoiler strip on the vertical tail is arranged at the connection between the stabilizer and the rudder, which can clearly distinguish the functions of the stabilizer and the rudder from the aerodynamic point of view.

[0085] First, in step 1, a vertical tail configuration without spoiler strips is obtained. When performing flow field analysis on the vertical tail configuration without spoiler strips, the following flow field data of the vertical tail configuration without spoiler strips are analyzed:

[0086] Streamline and pressure distribution cloud diagram of the vertical tail surface at different Mach numbers;

[0087] Mach number distribution cloud diagram of the vertical tail section at different Mach numbers;

[0088] Comparison of pressure distribution of vertical tail section at different Mach numbers.

[0089] In this embodiment, the first flow field analysis result includes: the streamline on the vertical tail is an attached flow in the downstream direction;

[0090] As the Mach number increases, shock waves begin to form on the vertical tail, and the shock wave position moves from front to back until it reaches the trailing edge of the vertical tail;

[0091] As the Mach number increases, the center of pressure of the vertical tail moves from front to back, and the aircraft's heading moment characteristics also increase.

[0092] like Figure 4-6 As shown in the figure, the calculation results without spoiler strips show that the streamlines on the vertical tail at all calculated Mach numbers are downstream attached flows. When the Mach number is not greater than 0.85, no shock wave appears on the vertical tail. When the Mach number is 0.9, shock waves begin to appear on the vertical tail. As the Mach number increases, the shock wave position moves from front to back until it reaches the trailing edge of the vertical tail. The pressure center of the vertical tail also moves backward accordingly, and the heading moment characteristics of the aircraft are also increasing.

[0093] When the shock wave position changes on the rudder, the load size and pressure center position on the left and right rudder surfaces are not equal due to the rudder being an active surface and the non-steady nature of the flow field. If the pressure centers on the left and right sides of the rudder are near the rudder's rotation axis, or even one in front of the other, it may induce vibration and flutter of the rudder, causing a series of transonic aeroelastic problems, or even unbearable vibrations. When the shock wave moves to the trailing edge of the vertical tail, the pressure centers on the left and right sides of the rudder are far from the rotation axis, and the normal forces on the rudder surfaces on both sides are not much different, so no large vibrations will be generated.

[0094] In the vertical tail spoiler strip design method of the present application, in step 2, obtaining a vertical tail configuration without a notch of the spoiler strip includes:

[0095] The entire spoiler strip is arranged at the connection between the stabilizer surface of the vertical tail and the rudder, so as to obtain a vertical tail configuration without a notch in the spoiler strip.

[0096] In this embodiment, in step 2, when the flow field analysis is performed on the vertical tail configuration with spoiler strips and no notches, the following flow field data of the vertical tail configuration with spoiler strips and no notches is analyzed:

[0097] Vertical tail surface streamlines and pressure distribution cloud diagram.

[0098] Among them, the second flow field analysis results include:

[0099] A low Mach area is generated near the spoiler strips, and a high Mach area is generated before and after the spoiler strips;

[0100] The airflow on the rudder originates from the root of the rudder, and the high-speed airflow in front flows upward in an orderly manner along the rudder from the bottom of the spoiler strip.

[0101] like Figure 7As shown in the figure, in order to understand the influence of the notch on the flow field on the rudder, the flow field characteristics on the rudder when the spoiler strip has no notch are studied first: since the inviscid airflow runs fast, it is blocked by the spoiler strip, the airflow slows down and accumulates, resulting in a low Mach area near the spoiler strip, while the front and rear are high Mach areas; the flow on the rudder originates from the root of the rudder, and the high-speed airflow in front flows upward in an orderly manner from the bottom of the spoiler strip along the rudder.

[0102] Plantl proposed the concept of "healthy flow", which suggests that when designing an aircraft, one should look for sound and healthy engineering solutions and avoid "pathological" and "bad" flows that cannot be relied upon.

[0103] In the vertical tail spoiler strip design method of the present application, in step 3, obtaining a vertical tail configuration with a spoiler strip having a notch includes:

[0104] A plurality of spoiler strips are arranged at the connection between the stabilizer surface of the vertical tail and the rudder, and a gap is formed between two adjacent spoiler strips, thereby obtaining a vertical tail configuration with spoiler strips and gaps.

[0105] In this embodiment, in step 3, when performing flow field analysis on the vertical tail configuration with a spoiler strip having a notch, the following flow field data of the vertical tail configuration with a spoiler strip having a notch are analyzed:

[0106] Streamline and pressure distribution cloud diagram of the vertical tail surface at different Mach numbers;

[0107] Mach number distribution cloud diagram of the vertical tail section at different Mach numbers;

[0108] Comparison of pressure distribution of vertical tail section at different Mach numbers.

[0109] Among them, the third flow field analysis results include:

[0110] The downstream high-speed airflow from the notch intersects with the airflow along the span on the rudder, causing turbulence on the rudder.

[0111] The spoiler strips reduce the load distribution on the vertical stabilizer;

[0112] The high-speed airflow flows upward from the root of the rudder, increasing the useless load on the rudder.

[0113] like Figure 8-10 As shown in the figure, the calculation results show that after the spoiler strip is installed with a notch, while solving the problem of vertical tail vibration reduction, it also brings adverse effects to the vertical tail flow field: 1) Since the downstream high-speed airflow from the notch and the airflow along the span of the rudder intersect, the flow on the rudder becomes turbulent; 2) The spoiler strip reduces the load distribution on the vertical stabilizer and reduces the aircraft's heading stability; 3) The high-speed airflow in front flows upward from the root of the rudder, the useless load on the rudder increases, and the control efficiency of the rudder is reduced.

[0114] The vertical tail spoiler design method of the present application is comprehensively compared and analyzed based on the first flow field analysis results, the second flow field analysis results and the third flow field analysis results. The design concept of "healthy flow" is adopted. First, it is ensured that there is a downstream attachment flow on the rudder, and then it is determined whether the improved spoiler can intercept the position of the shock wave like the existing spoiler, that is, solve the transonic vibration problem. The improved spoiler design adopts the concept of overall design: 1) to fill the gap; 2) to reduce the height of the existing spoiler.

[0115] In this embodiment, in step 4, the configuration is improved to obtain a spoiler strip improved vertical tail configuration, such as Fig.11 Shown include:

[0116] The entire spoiler strip is arranged at the connection between the stabilizer surface of the vertical tail and the rudder, and the height of the spoiler strip of the vertical tail configuration without a spoiler strip notch and the spoiler strip of the vertical tail configuration with a spoiler strip notch is reduced.

[0117] In this embodiment, in step 5, when performing flow field analysis on the spoiler strip improved vertical tail configuration, the following flow field data of the spoiler strip improved vertical tail configuration are analyzed:

[0118] Streamline and pressure distribution cloud diagram of the vertical tail surface at different Mach numbers;

[0119] Mach number distribution cloud diagram of the vertical tail section at different Mach numbers;

[0120] Comparison of pressure distribution of vertical tail section at different Mach numbers.

[0121] Among them, the fourth flow field analysis results include:

[0122] As the Mach number increases, shock waves are generated at the side edges of the spoiler strips, the pressure increases, the airflow slows down, and then flows through the rudder as a downstream attachment flow;

[0123] A suction peak appears at the leading edge of the rudder, and the high-speed airflow is released when passing through the shock wave.

[0124] like Figure 12-14 As shown in the figure, from the calculation results, it can be seen that a shock wave is generated at the side edge of the new spoiler strip, the pressure increases, the airflow decelerates, and then it flows through the rudder in the downstream attachment flow; a suction peak appears at the leading edge of the rudder, which is not the case when there is no spoiler strip, indicating that the local supersonic airflow is very successful in releasing pressure when passing through the shock wave.

[0125] It can be understood that if it is determined according to the fourth flow field analysis result that the spoiler strip-improved vertical tail configuration does not meet the design requirements, the step can be returned to further improve the spoiler strip and iteratively optimize until a spoiler strip-improved vertical tail configuration that meets the design requirements is obtained.

[0126] The vertical tail spoiler strip design method of the present application also includes step six, performing flow field analysis and comparison on a vertical tail configuration without a spoiler strip, a vertical tail configuration with a spoiler strip having a notch, and a vertical tail configuration improved with a spoiler strip, and verifying the vertical tail configuration improved with a spoiler strip.

[0127] In one embodiment of the present application, in step six, flow field analysis and comparison are performed on a vertical tail configuration without spoiler strips, a vertical tail configuration with notches in spoiler strips, and a vertical tail configuration improved with spoiler strips, and the vertical tail configuration improved with spoiler strips is verified, including:

[0128] At different Mach numbers, the drag coefficients of the vertical tail configuration without spoiler strips, the vertical tail configuration with spoiler strips and notches, and the vertical tail configuration improved with spoiler strips are compared, and the vertical tail configuration improved with spoiler strips is verified.

[0129] like Fig.15 As shown in the figure, the three configurations of the whole aircraft drag coefficient change curve with Mach number are represented by no, now and new respectively. From the calculation results, compared with the spoiler strip configuration before the improvement, the improved spoiler strip configuration can significantly reduce the aircraft's whole aircraft drag. When the Mach number is 0.85, the whole aircraft drag is reduced by 19 counts.

[0130] In another embodiment of the present application, in step six, flow field analysis and comparison are performed on a vertical tail configuration without spoiler strips, a vertical tail configuration with spoiler strips and notches, and a vertical tail configuration improved with spoiler strips, and the vertical tail configuration improved with spoiler strips is verified, including:

[0131] At the same Mach number, the pressure distributions at different vertical tail sections of the vertical tail configurations, including the vertical tail configuration without spoiler strips, the vertical tail configuration with spoiler strips and notches, and the vertical tail configuration improved with spoiler strips, are compared, and the vertical tail configuration improved with spoiler strips is verified.

[0132] When modern supersonic fighters fly at high Mach numbers, the efficiency of the vertical tail drops significantly, and the directional stability of the aircraft decreases sharply. If the directional stability is too small at this time, the aircraft will experience a divergent motion with a gradually increasing sideslip angle when it is subjected to lateral disturbances (such as gusts of wind, engine failure, etc.), which can make it difficult to control at best, or even out of control at worst.

[0133] like Figure 16-19 As shown, the curves corresponding to the three configurations are represented by no, now and new respectively. From the calculation results, in terms of the profile pressure distribution curve on the vertical stabilizer, the curve of the improved spoiler strip is basically consistent with the curve without the spoiler strip, indicating that the improved spoiler strip does not change the heading moment characteristics of the aircraft; on the contrary, the spoiler strip before the improvement, on the one hand, reduces the load on the vertical tail stabilizer, that is, reduces the heading moment characteristics of the vertical tail, reduces the stability of the vertical tail, and on the other hand, increases the useless load on the rudder, reducing the control efficiency of the rudder.

[0134] The vertical tail spoiler strip design method of the present application adopts an integrated design for the improved spoiler strip, thereby avoiding the airflow separation on the rudder caused by the strong airflow at the notch; reducing the height of the spoiler strip can not only evenly distribute the main load of the vertical tail on the vertical tail stabilizer, but also fix the shock wave position on the vertical tail stabilizer, and at the same time, the airflow on the rudder is all in the downstream direction, and no separation and separation vortex appear, which not only improves the rudder efficiency and the aerodynamic characteristics of the vertical tail, reduces the control power of the actuator, but also reduces the resistance of the entire aircraft.

[0135] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application, but the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application. Therefore, the protection scope of the present application shall be based on the protection scope of the claims.
