Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of ground effect vehicle technology, and in particular to a method for estimating the longitudinal coefficient of a ground effect vehicle and its aerodynamic characteristic analysis system. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of technology in the field of ground effect vehicles, key technologies for stable flight close to the water surface have emerged. This technology has the characteristics of providing efficient lift and good stability when flying close to the water surface at low altitudes, which leads to the development of methods for obtaining aerodynamic data through wind tunnel tests to analyze flight quality and corresponding test equipment.
[0003] In related technologies, designers first design a preliminary scheme based on the design task book or technical specifications, then design and fabricate a model, and conduct wind tunnel tests on the model. Based on the aerodynamic characteristic data obtained from the wind tunnel tests, various calculations are performed to verify whether the design meets the requirements. However, if several or most of the requirements are not met, the design scheme must be modified, the model must be fabricated again, and a second round of wind tunnel tests must be conducted. This process is usually repeated multiple times to obtain a scheme that meets the design requirements for use in the next stage of detailed design.
[0004] Therefore, the aforementioned wind tunnel testing method and related design process often require multiple iterations of design, model fabrication, and wind tunnel testing to obtain a solution that meets the design requirements, resulting in long processing time and high costs. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing production technologies, the applicant provides a method for estimating the longitudinal coefficient of a ground effect vehicle and its aerodynamic characteristic analysis system. This method obtains necessary aerodynamic characteristic data based on a small amount of wind tunnel model blowing data through theoretical estimation, thereby shortening the design cycle, reducing testing costs, lowering development costs, and improving design efficiency.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: A method for estimating the longitudinal coefficient of a ground effect vehicle, comprising the following steps:
[0007] Step 1: Preliminary design. Based on the design task book or technical specifications of the ground effect vehicle, determine the scale ratio of the wind tunnel model of the preliminary scheme and design the wind tunnel model.
[0008] Step 2, Wind Tunnel Model Manufacturing and Installation: Based on the scaled-down model, manufacture the wind tunnel model and install an adjustable-height simulated ground effect surface floor. The floor is adjusted relative to the model via a screw mechanism and tie rods to simulate changes in flight altitude.
[0009] Step 3: Conduct 3 variable flight altitude tests, including 1 test in the no-ground effect state and 2 tests in the ground effect state. Measure the lift coefficient data in the no-ground effect state and measure the lift coefficient and pitch moment coefficient data at different flight altitudes in the ground effect state.
[0010] Step four: Establish mathematical expressions for aerodynamic coefficients. Based on the experimental data in step three, derive mathematical expressions for lift coefficient and pitching moment coefficient; where lift coefficient and pitching moment coefficient have a linear relationship with the logarithm of relative flight altitude.
[0011] Step 5: Using the derived mathematical expression, calculate the estimated longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of the ground effect vehicle at any flight altitude.
[0012] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:
[0013] Preferably, the variable flight altitude test in step three includes:
[0014] In the absence of ground effect, the floor is adjusted to a position far away from the model to ensure that the wind tunnel test data is not affected by the ground effect of the floor, and the lift coefficient data is measured at this time.
[0015] Preferably, the variable flight altitude test in step three further includes:
[0016] Lift coefficient and pitch moment coefficient data were measured at different flight altitudes under two different ground effect conditions.
[0017] Preferably, the wind tunnel model includes a floor, which is connected to the upper wall of the wind tunnel model via at least one tie rod, and a lead screw mechanism is provided at the connection point; a ground effect vehicle model is provided below the floor, and the lower part of the ground effect vehicle model is connected to a fairing provided on the lower wall of the wind tunnel model.
[0018] More preferably, the front of the ground effect vehicle model is connected to the front fairing disposed on the lower wall of the wind tunnel model via a joint, and the tail of the ground effect vehicle model extends a tail link, the end of which is connected to the rear fairing disposed on the lower wall of the wind tunnel.
[0019] Preferably, the lead screw mechanism and tie rod are used to realize the vertical movement of the floor to simulate the change in the flight altitude of the ground effect vehicle; the front fairing and the rear fairing are used to realize the rotation of the ground effect vehicle model around the joint to simulate the change in the pitch angle of the ground effect vehicle.
[0020] Preferably, the wind tunnel model simulates different flight attitudes by adjusting the pitch angle.
[0021] A ground effect vehicle aerodynamic characteristic analysis system is provided, which uses the above-mentioned ground effect vehicle longitudinal coefficient estimation method to estimate the longitudinal aerodynamic coefficient of the ground effect vehicle and outputs the stability calculation results.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0023] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of traditional methods, which require multiple iterations of design, model fabrication, and wind tests to obtain a solution that meets design requirements, resulting in long time consumption and high costs. This invention requires only three variable flight altitude tests (including one test in no-ground effect state and two tests in ground effect state) to obtain an estimated value of the longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics of a ground effect vehicle at any flight altitude. This significantly reduces the workload of model wind tests, shortens the design cycle, and lowers development costs. The technical solution of this invention can be widely applied to the estimation of longitudinal coefficients for ground effect vehicles with different aerodynamic layouts. By adjusting the test parameters and coefficients in the mathematical expression, this technical solution can adapt to the design requirements of different ground effect vehicles, demonstrating broad applicability.

[0039] like Figures 1-9 As shown, the present invention provides a method for estimating the longitudinal coefficient of a ground effect vehicle, specifically including the following steps:
[0040] In this embodiment, the preliminary design involves: first, developing a rough design framework based on the design task book or technical specifications, and analyzing the feasibility of implementing the framework, including the feasibility of using selectable power systems, structural materials, construction processes, and testing methods; then, completing a preliminary scheme design, and determining the scale of the preliminary scheme's wind tunnel model based on the wind tunnel laboratory's testing facilities, instruments, and model connection methods, and designing the wind tunnel model. The purpose of wind tunnel model testing is to measure the aerodynamic characteristics of the design scheme model under different flight conditions, and to determine the aerodynamic efficiency of corresponding aerodynamic components by changing their installation angles. The test results provide the necessary parameters for stability calculations and a basis for further modifications to the scheme. Simultaneously, they provide technical data for verifying the effectiveness of the design method and making necessary corrections.
[0041] In this embodiment, the wind tunnel model is designed, manufactured, and installed as follows: Model fabrication and the fabrication of connecting struts to the wind tunnel balance are completed according to the design drawings of the scaled-down wind tunnel model, and a wind tunnel test outline is prepared. The wind tunnel model is installed in the wind tunnel laboratory, along with an adjustable-height floor simulating the ground effect surface. This floor can be adjusted relative to the wind tunnel model to simulate changes in ground effect height. The parameters that determine the steady longitudinal aerodynamic characteristics (aerodynamic forces or aerodynamic moments) of the ground effect wing vehicle include... , and (here For speed, The relative flight altitude of a ground effect vehicle when its center of gravity leaves the surface. The mean aerodynamic chord of the ground effect wing. =Height of center of gravity from the floor - Distance from center of gravity to the model baseline To fly high, (Pitch angle). Wind tunnel tests are conducted according to the wind tunnel test outline. Due to the relative altitude of the aerodynamic forces (or aerodynamic torques), rate of change with The decrease and increase of [something] is the effect of the ground effect. Therefore, when [something] decreases and increases, [something] increases. When the size is small, the test points in the test plan should be more densely packed, generally for: =0.05, 0.075, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.30, 0.50, 0.80, ∞, ( (Indicates no floor), pitch angle for: =-4°, -2°, 0°, 2°, 4°, 6°, 8°. The test plan will be implemented according to the test points of the above test scheme.
[0042] Specifically, the wind tunnel test apparatus includes a floor 8, which is connected to the upper wall of the wind tunnel model via a tie rod 2, and a lead screw mechanism 1 is provided at the connection point. A ground effect vehicle (GEV) model 3 is positioned below the floor 8, and its lower part is connected to a fairing mounted on the lower wall of the wind tunnel model. The front of the GEV model 3 is connected to a front fairing 4 mounted on the lower wall of the wind tunnel model via a connector 5. A tail link 6 extends from the tail of the GEV model 3, and the end of the tail link 6 is connected to a rear fairing 7 mounted on the lower wall. The front and rear fairings 4 and 7 are used to allow the GEV model to rotate around the connector, simulating changes in the pitch angle of the GEV. The wind tunnel model can simulate the pitch angle of the GEV by adjusting its pitch angle. The changes; the tail link 6 is used for guiding the rear support rod and the fairing 7.
[0043] In this embodiment, the aerodynamic characteristics of the ground effect vehicle include: The drag coefficient, The lift coefficient, This is the lateral force coefficient. This is the tilt moment coefficient. This is the yaw moment coefficient. is the pitch moment coefficient, where For wing area, For the exhibition length, For speed head, Let be the air density. The aerodynamic characteristics of a ground effect vehicle (GEV) flying far from the surface are essentially the same as those of an aircraft. However, when a GEV flies in the ground effect zone, its aerodynamic characteristics exhibit a strong nonlinear relationship with flight altitude, such as... Figure 2 The aerodynamic lift coefficient shown As relative altitude The changes clearly demonstrate this nonlinear characteristic. Here Figure 2 merely (a fixed pitch angle) A test curve (below) when the pitch angle is...

Greater than At that time, the presence of the ground surface no longer affects the aerodynamic characteristics of the ground effect vehicle. Therefore, when At this time, it can be assumed that the ground effect vehicle flies within the ground effect zone. At this time, it can be considered that the ground effect vehicle flies outside the ground effect zone, just like an airplane, and is not affected by the ground effect. From Figure 2 It can also be seen that the closer the ground effect vehicle is to the ground surface, the more pronounced the change in lift coefficient. And the closer it gets to...

Similarly... for When kept constant, the corresponding lift coefficient with respect to relative flight altitude The partial derivatives, i.e., in The slope of the curve at a given point is also negative. Since a larger negative value indicates a steeper slope and more drastic change, and represents a smaller value, therefore, there is... , In short, Figure 2 This indicates that while the partial derivative of the lift coefficient with respect to flight altitude is not constant within the ground effect region, its variation is monotonic. These fundamental characteristics of the lift coefficient of ground effect vehicles also represent the fundamental characteristics of the aerodynamic coefficients of other ground effect vehicles, namely, they all change with relative flight altitude. The changes are non-linear and monotonic. However, their difference lies in the defined relative ground effect height. They are not the same, for example, using Defined It is different from using Defined The aerodynamic coefficient of a ground effect vehicle varies with relative flight altitude. In addition to exhibiting nonlinear variation, it also varies with pitch angle within a certain range. It changes linearly, such as Figure 3As shown. In summary, maintain the pitch angle. The aerodynamic coefficient remains constant with relative flight altitude. The changes are non-linear; maintaining relative altitude The aerodynamic coefficient remains constant and varies with the pitch angle within a certain range. The change is linear, which is the basic characteristic of the aerodynamic properties of ground effect vehicles.
[0044] In this embodiment, the lift coefficient and pitching moment coefficient relative flight altitude The variation pattern: Numerous wind tunnel tests show that the lift coefficient As relative altitude The variation pattern is non-linear and exhibits a relatively consistent monotonic trend. However, through the collation and analysis of a large amount of wind tunnel model blowing data, it was found that if...

Therefore, If it is a straight line, then It should also be a straight line, and a large amount of wind tunnel test data has confirmed this pattern of change. It was also found that if relative flight altitude is used... natural logarithm The x-axis also conforms to this "linear" pattern. For example... Figure 3 The data shown is based on experimental data from a certain ground effect vehicle model, and this data is based on relative flight altitude. =0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.7, 0.97, pitch angle Measured at 0°, 2°, and 4°, and with...

When it remains unchanged, Follow The change is indeed a straight line, because almost all the test points are on a straight line.
