Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the fields of aerodynamics and aeroelasticity, specifically to a method for trimming the angle of attack of an aircraft that considers nonlinear aeroelastic effects. Background Technology

[0002] Aeroelasticity primarily studies the coupling between aerodynamic forces, elastic forces, and inertial forces. Structures deform under aerodynamic loads, and these deformations, in turn, alter the magnitude and distribution of these loads, representing a typical fluid-structure interaction problem. Modern aircraft, such as commercial airliners and flying-wing aircraft, increasingly employ highly flexible wing designs. Under flight loads, these flexible wings undergo significant bending and torsional deformations, exhibiting typical geometrically nonlinear aeroelastic problems that must be considered during aircraft design.

[0003] Accurate calculation of flight loads is a crucial aspect of aircraft design, and achieving precise load calculation is an important guarantee for aircraft safety and reliability. During flight, the aircraft's angle of attack needs to be adjusted to meet the trim requirements under different overload conditions. The load calculation for each flight state must be based on angle-of-attack trim. However, with the increasing flexibility of modern aircraft, they undergo significant structural deformation under aerodynamic forces, leading to significant changes in the aircraft's load distribution. Therefore, aircraft loads need to be calculated under trim conditions that take into account geometric nonlinear effects.

[0004] Given the crucial role of aeroelasticity in aircraft design, a relatively accurate analysis of issues such as deformation and load distribution in civil aircraft is required during the aeroelastic design phase. Solving for aerodynamic forces is one of the core issues in the aeroelastic calculation process. Summary of the Invention

This invention addresses the need for angle-of-attack trim in aircraft load calculation. Based on nonlinear aeroelastic calculation using high-precision fluid dynamics (CFD) and solid dynamics (CSD), the trim results are compared, and the trim angle of attack is adjusted using a bisection method. The process is iterated repeatedly until the trim converges, ultimately achieving angle-of-attack trim considering nonlinear aeroelastic effects. This enables accurate calculation of the aircraft trim angle of attack, meeting the high-precision load calculation requirements in modern aircraft calculations.
