[0002] Aircraft engine whole machine simulation technology is an important means in the process of aircraft engine conceptual design, research and development, manufacturing, testing and use. With the help of more accurate aircraft engine whole machine simulation tools, the design and test cycle can be greatly reduced and the cost can be reduced. However, the traditional zero-dimensional whole machine model of aircraft engines based on component characteristics is highly dependent on component characteristics, and as the engine configuration becomes more complex, the zero-dimensional simulation model has convergence problems in the application process. Quasi-three-dimensional or three-dimensional aircraft engine whole machine simulation requires a lot of computing resources and has slow calculation speed. At the same time, the large-scale complex regional flow field simulation with multi-field coupling makes it difficult to guarantee its convergence and stability. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a high-precision whole machine simulation method that can achieve fast calculation and good model stability and convergence.

However, there is no research on variable dimension simulation of open rotor engines.

The cross-sectional parameters include one or more of flow rate, area, total temperature, total pressure and total enthalpy.

[0023] First, before step S1, the airflow velocity at the inlet of the counter-rotating propeller fan is calculated according to the given atmospheric conditions (altitude, flight Mach number, temperature, etc.). ,temperature ,pressure Then, in step S1, given the initial guess values ​​of the front propeller speed n1, the front propeller pitch angle β1, the rear propeller speed n2 and the rear propeller pitch angle β2, the total thrust F is calculated through the established three-dimensional lift line model of the counter-rotating propeller fan. CRP , total power P CRP , efficiency η CRP , front propeller power P1, rear propeller power P2, front propeller torque Q1 and rear propeller torque Q2.

[0024] Then, in step S2, the average axial velocity of the airflow at the inlet of the air duct is calculated.

[0025] In some optional implementations, step S2 further includes: Step S21, determining the average induced axial velocity at the counter-rotating propeller according to the total thrust of the counter-rotating propeller; Step S22, calculating the average axial velocity of the airflow at the inlet of the air inlet according to the distance between the counter-rotating propeller fan and the inlet of the air inlet and the average axial induced velocity.

[0026] In step S21, the axial average induced velocity of the counter-rotating propeller position is calculated according to the momentum theorem: : .

[0027] Where ρ is the atmospheric density, A disk is the fan area of ​​the counter-rotating propeller fan.

[0028] Then, in step S22, the average axial velocity of the airflow at the inlet position of the engine inlet under the interference of the counter-rotating propeller is calculated according to the flow channel contraction principle. : ; Wherein, z refers to the distance between the downstream of the counter-rotating propeller fan and the inlet of the air inlet, and R is the fan radius of the counter-rotating propeller fan.

[0029] At the same time, the three-dimensional distribution of the airflow velocity at the inlet section of the air inlet can also be obtained based on the three-dimensional lift line model of the counter-rotating propeller fan.

[0030] Then in step S3, the average velocity at the inlet of the air duct is , the inlet cross-sectional parameters after considering the interference of the counter-rotating propellers can be obtained. The cross-sectional parameters include one or more of flow rate, area, total temperature, total pressure and total enthalpy. Here, the total temperature T of the inlet can be mainly included. t1 , total pressure p t1 , total enthalpy h t1 . refer to Figure 2 , the front section of the inlet is numbered 1, so the inlet section parameters are usually represented by the subscript t1. For example, the low-pressure compressor outlet section is numbered 25, and the total enthalpy of the low-pressure compressor outlet is h t25 , the total outlet temperature is T t25 .

[0031] With the above inlet duct inlet cross-sectional parameters, refer to Figure 2 , the existing zero-dimensional model of each engine component can be used for simulation calculation later, wherein, in step S4, the average total temperature of the inlet duct outlet is calculated by the zero-dimensional model of the inlet duct. , average total pressure , average total enthalpy .

[0032] Afterwards, in step S5, due to the influence of the contra-rotating propellers' wake, the actual inlet airflow is uneven, and there is an intake distortion problem. Therefore, the present application considers the intake distortion problem by establishing a parallel compressor model for the low-pressure compressor.

[0033] In some optional implementations, in step S5, the outlet static pressures of the distorted low-pressure compressor and the non-distorted low-pressure compressor are calculated based on their respective inlet cross-sectional parameters and the assumption that the inlet and outlet areas of the low-pressure compressors are constant, and the inlet areas in the inlet cross-sectional parameters are used to calculate their respective outlet static pressures. The parallel compressor model is described in detail below.

[0034] (1) The airflow from the inlet outlet is divided into two streams, one stream flows to the distorted low-pressure compressor a, and the other stream flows to the undistorted low-pressure compressor b. The distorted low-pressure compressor a and the undistorted low-pressure compressor b only have different inlet conditions, but the speed is the same. The two compressors work in parallel and then mix at the outlet. The pressure distortion index of a given distortion sector is and temperature distortion index , so the total inlet temperature of the distorted low-pressure compressor a can be calculated and total pressure .

[0035] (2) For the low-pressure compressor a, based on the given distorted low-pressure pressure ratio Z LCa The initial guess value (the "pressure ratio" here is a variable z, and its expression is z=(π-π min ) / (π max -πmin ), where π is the pressure ratio, π max is the maximum value of the pressure ratio on the equal speed characteristic line of the characteristic diagram, π min is the minimum value of the pressure ratio on the characteristic line of the characteristic diagram) and the low-pressure compressor speed n LC The initial guess value of the low-pressure compressor flow W is obtained by interpolating the characteristic diagram 2a,cor and efficiency η LCa , using the zero-dimensional model of the distorted low-pressure compressor, the outlet flow rate W of the distorted low-pressure compressor a can be further calculated 2a , total temperature , total pressure , total enthalpy and power P LCa By W 2a and The inlet and outlet cross-sectional area A of the distorted low-pressure compressor a can be calculated 2a Assuming that the inlet and outlet areas of the low-pressure compressor remain unchanged, according to the area A 2a And the total parameters of the outlet of the distorted low-pressure compressor a, the outlet static pressure of the distorted low-pressure compressor a can be iteratively calculated .

[0036] (3) For the distortion-free low-pressure compressor b, based on the given distortion-free low-pressure pressure ratio Z LCb The initial guess value and the low-pressure compressor speed n given in the previous step LC Initial guess, through the characteristic diagram interpolation to obtain the converted flow rate W of the low pressure compressor 2b,cor and efficiency η LCb Using the zero-dimensional model of the distortion-free low-pressure compressor, the outlet flow rate W of the distortion-free low-pressure compressor b can be further calculated. 2b , total temperature , total pressure , total enthalpy and power P LCb By W 2b and The inlet and outlet cross-sectional area A of the distortion-free low-pressure compressor b can be calculated 2b Assuming that the inlet and outlet areas of the distortion-free low-pressure compressor b remain unchanged, according to the area A 2b The total outlet parameters of the distortion-free low-pressure compressor b can be used to iteratively calculate the outlet static pressure of the distortion-free low-pressure compressor b. .

[0037] (4) Assume that the two air flows are mixed after coming out, and the outlet flow rate of the low-pressure compressor after mixing is W 25 =W 2a +W 2b , the total outlet enthalpy is h t25 =(W 2a h t25,a+W 2b h t25,b ) / W 25 , by h t25 Iterative calculation of the total temperature T at the outlet of the low-pressure compressor t25 By P LC =P LCa +P LCb Calculate the total power P of the low pressure compressor LC .

[0038] The mixing process of the two airflows needs to meet the static pressure balance condition at the low-pressure compressor outlet section, namely: , so we get the equilibrium equation that needs to be satisfied: y1=(p s25,a -p s25,b ) / p s25,b .

[0039] Then, in step S6, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The mixed airflow enters the high-pressure compressor, combustion chamber, high-pressure turbine, low-pressure turbine, free turbine, and tail nozzle in turn. These components all use the traditional zero-dimensional model. By transferring the inlet and outlet parameters of each component between different components, a quasi-one-dimensional simulation model of the engine can be obtained.

[0040] In the quasi-one-dimensional engine model from the inlet to the tail nozzle, in addition to the three initial guesses required for the parallel low-pressure compressor model in step S5 (the pressure ratio of the undistorted low pressure, the ratio Z LCb , the pressure ratio of the distorted low pressure is Z LCa and low pressure compressor speed n LC ), the remaining components also need to give the following 7 initial guess values: High pressure ratio ratio Z HC , high pressure compressor speed n HC , fuel supply to combustion chamber W fb 、High-pressure turbine pressure drop ratio π HT 、Low-pressure turbine pressure drop ratio π LT 、Free turbine pressure drop ratio π FT , free turbine speed n FT .

[0041] In step S7, according to the balance conditions of the engine (continuous flow, equal power, equal speed, and balanced pressure), the following balance equations need to be satisfied in the quasi-one-dimensional engine model from the air inlet to the tail nozzle: .

[0042] In the formula, In the parallel compressor model of the low-pressure compressor, the outlet static pressure balance parameter of the two parallel low-pressure compressors a and b is 0, indicating balance. It is the flow continuity parameter between the high-pressure compressor and the low-pressure compressor. When it is 0, it means the flow is continuous. The following is equivalent and will not be repeated. is the low pressure compressor outlet flow rate, is the high pressure compressor inlet flow rate, is the flow continuity parameter between the combustion chamber and the high-pressure turbine, is the combustion chamber outlet flow rate, is the high pressure turbine inlet flow rate, is the power balance parameter on the high-voltage shaft, is the high pressure turbine output power, is the high pressure compressor power, High voltage power transfer efficiency, is the flow continuity parameter between the high-pressure turbine and the low-pressure turbine, is the high pressure turbine outlet flow rate, is the low-pressure turbine inlet flow rate, is the power balance parameter on the low pressure axis, is the output power of the low-pressure turbine, is the low voltage power transfer efficiency, is the total power of the low-pressure compressor, is the flow continuity parameter between the low-pressure turbine and the free turbine, is the low-pressure turbine outlet flow rate, is the free turbine inlet flow, is the flow continuity parameter between the free turbine and the tail nozzle, is the free turbine outlet flow, Tail nozzle inlet flow rate.

[0043] Then in step S9, refer to Figure 2 , the shaft power P output from the free turbine FT and speed n FT , transmitted to the sun shaft of the planetary gear reducer through the mechanical shaft. At this time, the torque of the sun shaft is Q sun . Shaft power P FT The power is distributed by a planetary gear reducer, the front propellers are driven by the planetary carrier of the reducer, and the rear propellers are driven by the outer ring gear of the reducer.

[0044] The radius ratio R of the planetary gear and sun gear of the planetary gear reducer is given by p / R s The torque Q of the planet carrier can be calculated according to the following formula star The torque of the outer ring gear is Q ring : .

[0045] in, For transmission efficiency, the power transmitted to the front propeller fan through the planetary gear reducer is P1, and the power transmitted to the rear propeller fan is P2. The shaft power output from the free turbine is P FT , the total power P calculated in step S1 is required CRP Equal, the planetary carrier torque Q of the planetary gear reducer star It needs to be equal to the front propeller torque Q1 of the front propeller fan, and the outer ring gear torque Q ring It needs to be equal to the rear propeller torque Q2 of the rear propeller fan. Therefore, the following three balance conditions need to be met between the free turbine, planetary gear reducer and counter-rotating propeller fan: .

[0046] Where ΔP CRP is the balance parameter of the output power of the counter-rotating propeller fan and the free turbine, ΔQ1 is the torque balance parameter of the front propeller and the planetary gear carrier; ΔQ2 is the torque balance parameter of the rear propeller and the annular gear ring.

[0047] Finally, in step S10, according to the previous steps, the open rotor engine has 14 independent variables that need to be given initial guess values, namely: β1, n1, β2, n2, Z LCa , Z LCb , n LC , Z HC , n HC , W fb , π HT , π LT , π FT , n FT However, the engine has 11 equilibrium equations. In order to close the equations, it is necessary to select 3 variables from the above independent variables as control parameters through the control strategy, and the remaining 11 independent variables are used as free variables x required by the engine's common working equation group y.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, in step S10, the three control parameters selected include the front propeller pitch angle β1, the rear propeller pitch angle β2 and the combustion chamber fuel supply W fb .

[0049] Based on this, the common working equations of the open rotor engine considering intake distortion can be expressed as: .

[0050] In some optional implementations, in step S10, the common working equation group consisting of the eleven equilibrium equations constructed above is solved by Newton's iteration method, and the Jacobian matrix constructed by the Newton's iteration method is calculated in parallel by multi-threading.

[0051] The Newton iteration method is used to solve the 11-dimensional engine common working nonlinear equations of the open rotor engine variable dimension simulation process in step 10, so that y=y(x)=0. Take any initial value x0 of x and construct the following iterative format for iterative calculation: ; Where k is the number of iterations, J -1 is the inverse matrix of the Jacobian matrix J, and its specific expression is as follows: .

[0052] When the residual vector of the common working equations ||y||<10 -4 , the calculation is considered to converge, and the working state of the engine can be obtained, otherwise the value of the independent variable x is updated through the Jacobian matrix J. When the program converges, the performance of the engine is calculated, including thrust, fuel consumption, power, propulsion efficiency and other performance parameters.

[0053] In the variable-dimensional numerical simulation program for open rotor engines, since the 11-dimensional Jacobian matrix needs to be calculated, the quasi-3D lift line model of the counter-rotating propeller fan needs to be called 12 times for each iteration, 11 of which are for calculating the 11-dimensional Jacobian matrix and 1 for judging the convergence state. Since the counter-rotating propeller fan module takes about 20 seconds to calculate a working point, if a single thread is used for calculation, each iterative calculation takes 4 minutes. If the iteration converges after 5 times, it will take at least 20 minutes to obtain the performance of a non-design point, which cannot meet the purpose of rapid design and calculation.

[0054] To this end, this application adopts a multi-threaded parallel computing method when calculating the Jacobian matrix. Because the partial derivatives of the Jacobian matrix are independent of each other, by using 11 threads to simultaneously carry out parallel calculations of small perturbations of 11 independent variables, one iteration only takes 40 seconds, and 5 convergences only take 3.3 minutes to obtain a non-design point performance, which greatly saves calculation time.

[0055] This application can realize the rapid calculation of engine performance. The calculation time of the design point is about 20s. For the calculation process of the non-design point, the convergence steps of Newton iteration are 4-6 steps and the calculation time is about 2.5min-4min.
