Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of the aero-engine industry, aero-engine simulation technology has been widely applied in design optimization and troubleshooting processes. However, joint simulation between related systems is insufficient. Fuel and lubricating oil systems, as complex hydraulic systems with varying flow rates, loads, and temperatures, exchange heat through fuel / lubricating oil radiators. Currently, heat exchange between the fuel and lubricating oil systems is only estimated based on rated values or empirical data. With the advancement of aero-engine technology, especially the advent of variable-cycle engines, the temperature of fuel and lubricating oil systems is gradually increasing, approaching the limits for normal operation under certain conditions. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct design evaluations of fuel and lubricating oil systems under different operating conditions to assist engineers in optimizing and improving these systems.
[0003] Traditional design evaluation methods for fuel and lubricating oil systems involve manual design evaluation. During the evaluation, the analysis and research are carried out on a single system basis, and only boundary conditions are set for related systems. A model is built to analyze and evaluate the fuel and lubricating oil system. However, a single system has poor perception of changes in engine status, resulting in poor accuracy in the evaluation of the fuel and lubricating oil system. Summary of the Invention

[0062] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0063] The design evaluation method for aero-engine fuel systems and lubricating oil systems provided in this application embodiment can be applied to the design evaluation environment of aero-engine fuel systems and lubricating oil systems. This method can be applied to a terminal, a server, or a system including both a terminal and a server, and is implemented through interaction between the terminal and the server. The terminal can be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, mid-range computers, etc. The terminal establishes a joint simulation model of the aero-engine fuel and lubricating oil systems by combining the fuel system, the lubricating oil system, and the related systems. This makes the simulation results closer to the actual operating results during the simulation of the fuel and lubricating oil systems, avoiding the problem of poor perception of engine state changes by a single system, which affects the simulation's realism. Then, this solution further evaluates the simulation results according to different operating conditions by combining the aforementioned systems, thereby obtaining the design evaluation results of the aero-engine fuel system and lubricating oil system. The evaluation results include evaluation information of the fuel system and lubricating oil system under different operating conditions, improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the evaluation.
[0064] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, a design evaluation method for an aircraft engine fuel system and lubricating oil system is provided. Taking the application of this method to a terminal as an example, the method includes the following steps S101 to S104. Wherein:
[0065] Step S101: Obtain the system design parameters of each system associated with the fuel system and lubricating oil system, the system operation data of each system, the system coupling logic information between each system, and the operation association information of the aero-engine, and construct the system simulation model of each system based on the system design parameters and system operation data of each system.
[0066] In this embodiment, in response to the information upload operation by the staff, the terminal acquires the system design parameters, system operation data, system coupling logic information between the systems, and the operational association information of the aero-engine associated with the fuel system and lubricating oil system. These systems include, but are not limited to, the fuel system, lubricating oil system, fuel / lubricating oil radiator system, air system and control system, and transmission system. The system design parameters are the structural parameters and operational control parameters designed by the staff. The system operation data are the operational commands of each system during aero-engine operation. The system coupling logic information between the systems characterizes the data interaction logic when data between the systems interacts. The operational association information of the aero-engine includes the environmental data of the aero-engine under various operating conditions and the control command information of each system under each operating condition. Finally, based on the system design parameters and system operation data of each system, the terminal constructs a system simulation model for each system. The system simulation model is a joint transient simulation model obtained by splicing together the transient models of each system. The transient models of each system include, but are not limited to, the engine performance transient model, control system model, fuel system model, air system model, transmission system model, bearing cavity model, and lubricating oil system model. The specific construction process will be explained in detail later.
[0067] Step S102: Based on the system coupling logic information between each system, perform model association processing on the simulation models of each system to obtain the fuel and lubricating oil simulation model, and generate the system simulation strategy of the fuel and lubricating oil simulation model based on the various operational association information of the aero-engine.
[0068] In this embodiment, the terminal performs model association processing on the simulation models of each system based on the system coupling logic information between the systems to obtain a fuel and lubricating oil simulation model. Based on the operational association information of the aero-engine, it generates a system simulation strategy for the fuel and lubricating oil simulation model. The system simulation strategy of the fuel and lubricating oil simulation model includes environmental parameters for each environmental type under different operating conditions of the aero-engine, as well as sub-control commands for each system corresponding to each operating condition. The specific generation process will be explained in detail later.
[0069] Step S103: Based on the system simulation strategy, the operation process of the fuel system and the lubricating oil system is simulated through the fuel and lubricating oil simulation model to obtain the simulation results. Based on the simulation results, abnormal information between the fuel system and the lubricating oil system is identified through the performance evaluation strategy.
[0070] In this embodiment, the terminal, based on a system simulation strategy, simulates the operation of the fuel system and lubricating oil system using a fuel and lubricating oil simulation model to obtain simulation results. Based on these results, a performance evaluation strategy is used to identify abnormal information between the fuel system and the lubricating oil system. The performance evaluation strategy includes sub-evaluation strategies for each system, used to comprehensively evaluate the various parameters and operational performance of each system. The specific evaluation process will be described in detail later.
[0071] Step S104: Based on the abnormal information between the fuel system and the lubricating oil system, the fuel system and the lubricating oil system are evaluated and processed through a system evaluation strategy to obtain the design evaluation results of the fuel system and the lubricating oil system.
[0072] In this embodiment, the terminal evaluates the fuel system and lubricating oil system based on abnormal information between them using a system evaluation strategy, thereby obtaining the design evaluation results for the fuel system and lubricating oil system. The abnormal information between the fuel system and lubricating oil system differs under each operating condition. Based on this abnormal information under each operating condition, the terminal performs design evaluations on the aspects corresponding to different abnormal information using a pre-set system evaluation strategy, thus obtaining the design evaluation results for the fuel system and lubricating oil system. This system evaluation strategy includes sub-evaluation strategies for each design aspect of the fuel system and lubricating oil system, where each sub-evaluation strategy corresponds to an evaluation value for a different range of abnormal information. Then, after evaluating the aspects to which all abnormal information belongs, the terminal sums the obtained evaluation values to obtain the design evaluation results for the fuel system and lubricating oil system. These design aspects include: mechanical aspects (adjusting sliding friction); hydraulic aspects (adjusting throttling area); electrical aspects (flow characteristics of the electro-hydraulic conversion device); heat generation aspects (fuel system return flow rate); and heat exchange aspects (fuel system flow rate, lubricating oil tank volume, booster pump efficiency, and heat exchanger area).
[0073] Based on the above scheme, a joint simulation model of the fuel and lubrication systems of an aero-engine is established by combining the fuel system, lubrication system, and related systems. This makes the simulation results closer to the actual operating results during the simulation of the fuel and lubrication systems, avoiding the problem of poor perception of engine state changes by a single system, which affects the realism of the simulation. Then, by combining the above systems and performing performance evaluations on the simulation results under different operating conditions, this scheme obtains the design evaluation results of the aero-engine's fuel and lubrication systems. The evaluation results include assessment information of the fuel and lubrication systems under different operating conditions, improving the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the evaluation.
[0074] Optionally, based on the system design parameters and system operation data of each system, a system simulation model for each system is constructed, including: obtaining the system operation model of each system, and adjusting the system operation model of each system based on the system design parameters of each system to obtain the target system operation model of each system; for each system, based on the system operation data, calculating the system operation control parameters of the system through the system operation control algorithm, and adjusting the target system operation model of the system based on the system operation control parameters to obtain the system simulation model of the system.
[0075] In this embodiment, the terminal acquires the system operation model of each system and adjusts the system operation model of each system based on the system design parameters of each system to obtain the target system operation model of each system. The system operation model of each system can be a single-system model already constructed by the staff. The components of each system include, but are not limited to:
[0076] a) The components of the fuel system include at least a booster pump, spring, actuating valve, electro-hydraulic conversion device, throttling element, filter element, and sensing element, and have at least the functions of fuel boosting, fuel metering, fuel cut-off when stopping, mechanical actuation, electro-hydraulic conversion, position feedback, and heat generation and heat exchange of mechanical and hydraulic systems.
[0077] b) The components of the lubricating oil system shall include at least an oil tank, an oil supply pump, an oil return pump, a filter element, a throttling element, a sensing element, a one-way valve, a differential pressure switch, and an oil-gas separator, and shall have at least the functions of lubricating oil pressurization, lubricating oil distribution to various cooling components, heat generation and heat exchange in the bearing cavity, and oil-gas separation.
[0078] c) The fuel / oil heat exchanger is a key component for heat exchange, cooling the lubricating oil while heating the fuel.
[0079] d) The air system consists of a pressure source and a flow source. The pressure, flow rate and temperature change with the engine status and participate in the heat exchange calculation of the lubricating oil system.
[0080] Then, for each system, the terminal calculates the system's operation control parameters based on the system's operational data and the system's operation control algorithm. Based on these parameters, it adjusts the target system operation model to obtain the system's simulation model. The system operation control algorithm for each system is a calculation formula relating the control commands or control parameters corresponding to each piece of operational data for that system. This calculation formula is preset by the operator on the terminal.
[0081] Based on the above scheme, by combining the system operation data of each system of the aero-engine, the system operation model of each system is adjusted to improve the similarity between the constructed system simulation model of each system and the various systems of the aero-engine.
[0082] Optionally, based on the system coupling logic information between the systems, the simulation models of each system are processed to obtain a fuel and lubricating oil simulation model. This includes: identifying the data coupling method and data interaction method between the systems based on the system coupling logic information; generating data interaction instruction generation logic between the systems based on the data coupling method and data interaction method between the systems; and splicing the system simulation models of each system based on the data interaction instruction generation logic to obtain the fuel and lubricating oil simulation model.
[0083] In this embodiment, the terminal identifies the data coupling methods and data interaction methods between the systems based on the system coupling logic information. Then, based on the data coupling and interaction methods, the terminal generates data interaction instruction generation logic for each system, and uses this logic to stitch together the system simulation models of each system to obtain the lubricating oil simulation model. Figure 2 The diagram shown is a schematic of the operational structure of a fuel and lubricating oil simulation model. Within this simulation model, as shown... Figure 3 Figure 4 shows the structural schematic diagram of the fuel system; Figure 5 shows the structural schematic diagram of the lubricating oil system; as shown in Figure 6. Figure 5 The diagram shown is a schematic diagram of the circuit structure of the lubricating oil simulation model.
[0084] Specifically, for example, the transient performance model of an engine: based on the fuel quantity and adjustment mechanism position output by the transient model of the fuel system, as well as the mechanical output of the transmission system, parameters such as engine thrust, speed, temperature, and efficiency are calculated. This dynamically simulates the engine's performance under different operating conditions.
[0085] Control system model: Read the speed feedback signal of the engine transient model, calculate the fuel flow control command according to the throttle input command and control algorithm; then read the LVDT (Linear Variable Displacement Transducer) feedback value output by the fuel system transient model, calculate the current control command value according to the above fuel quantity control command and control algorithm, and give it to the fuel system transient model.
[0086] Fuel system model: Based on the current control command value given by the control system model and the speed signal output by the engine performance transient model, the fuel pressure and flow rate and the position of the regulating mechanism are calculated and output to the engine performance transient model. At the same time, the LVDT displacement signal is fed back to the control system model for fuel flow control.
[0087] Fuel / Lubricating Oil Heat Exchanger Model: Lubricating oil and fuel oil exchange heat through a heat exchanger. This model dynamically adjusts the heat exchange rate based on transient thermodynamic conditions.
[0088] Air system model: Based on the speed and power changes output by the engine transient model, an airflow with a certain temperature and flow rate is generated and heat exchange is calculated with the lubricating oil system model.
[0089] Transmission system model: The heat generation characteristics of each component (bearing, gearbox, etc.) are calculated based on the engine transient model speed and load changes, and heat exchange is calculated with the lubricating oil system model. The heat exchange characteristics change with engine speed and load.
[0090] Bearing cavity model: Calculates the heat generation characteristics as the external environment changes with the transient model of the engine, and exchanges heat with the transient model of the lubricating oil system.
[0091] The lubricating oil system model: Based on the engine performance transient model's output speed signal, it supplies lubricating oil at a certain pressure and flow rate to the transmission system and bearing chamber, and feeds back the model's temperature and pressure to the control system model to ensure stable system operation. Simultaneously, the lubricating oil system model calculates the heat changes during the lubricating oil circulation process based on the heat exchange of the transmission system model, fuel / lubricating oil heat exchanger model, air system model, and external environment, obtaining the lubricating oil temperature values at various locations in the lubricating oil circulation loop.
[0092] The main sources of heat in the lubricating oil system include: 1. heat generated by bearing friction; 2. heat generated by friction of the bearing cavity sealing device; 3. external heat transferred from the bearing cavity wall through convection and conduction, heat from hot air leakage, and heat exchanged between the oil tank and other accessory pipelines and the external environment; 4. heat generated by power loss of the lubricating oil supply pump and return pump; and 5. heat generated by efficiency loss of the gear transmission device.
[0093] The total power loss of a bearing can be divided into two parts: the frictional power loss of the moving surfaces and the churning power loss of the lubricating oil inside the bearing.
[0094] Heat generated by friction in roller bearings:
[0095] q1=CZρl 2 u 3 β′
[0096] Where: C - total bearing resistance coefficient, C: C1+C2, C1 - friction coefficient, C2 - resistance coefficient; Z - number of rolling elements; ρ - lubricating oil density, Kg / m3; u - cage circumferential speed, m / s; l - roller length, m; β′ - influence coefficient of radial clearance on power loss.
[0097] Heat generated by friction in ball bearings:
[0098] q1=CZρd 2 u 3
[0099] Where: C - total bearing resistance coefficient; Z - number of rolling elements; ρ - oil density, Kg / m3; u - cage circumferential speed, m / s; d - roller length, m.
[0100] Friction generates heat in the sealing device:
[0101] q2=Fμ=2πRNμ[(P1-P2)(LK)LS+(P1-P2)δnl1+W] / 60
[0102] K = 1 / 3[1 + 1 / (1 + P2 / P1)]
[0103] Where: R—sealing radius, m; N—spindle speed, r / min; μ—friction coefficient; Pl—air chamber pressure, Pa; P2—bearing chamber pressure, Pa; L—sealing flange width, m; S—sealing surface circumference, S=2πR, m; δ—contact gap, m; n—number of joints; 11—flange width at joint, m; W—spring force, N.
[0104] Air leakage brings heat:
[0105] q′3=GC P Δt
[0106] Air system leakage:
[0107]
[0108] Where: D - runway diameter, m; T - air chamber temperature, K; P1 - air chamber pressure, MPa; P2 - oil chamber pressure, MPa;
[0109] Heat exchange between the external environment and the bearing cavity:
[0110] q″3=λΔtL+αΔtA
[0111] In the formula: λ - heat dissipation coefficient, which can be found in the material handbook. Δt - temperature difference between the inside and outside of the bearing cavity; α - convective heat transfer coefficient; A - convective exchange area, which is related to gas / liquid flow.
[0112] Oil tank convective heat exchange:
[0113] q″′3=αΔtA
[0114] Heat generated by efficiency losses in the lubricating oil supply and return pumps:
[0115] q4=pQ(1-ηη)
[0116] Where: p - pump outlet pressure, Pa; Q - pump flow rate, m3 / s; η - gear pump total efficiency.
[0117] Heat generated by mechanical efficiency loss in gear transmission mechanisms:
[0118] q5 = 745.7N(1-η)
[0119] In the formula: N—total power, W; η represents the total transmission efficiency, which is generally taken as 0.9.
[0120] Heat generated by the lubricating oil system:
[0121]
[0122] The heat sources of a fuel system can be divided into external and internal factors. External factors include heat exchange between the fuel / oil radiator and the external environment. Internal factors mainly consist of the power losses within the fuel system itself, which are ultimately converted into heat within the fuel system. These include: booster pump efficiency losses, pressure losses along the flow path, and flow losses (mainly from system return fuel).
[0123] The heat exchange principle of the external environment Q1 is the same as that of the lubricating oil system.
[0124] The efficiency loss at the booster pump is divided into centrifugal pump efficiency loss and gear pump efficiency loss.

[0135] Heat generated by the fuel system:
[0136]
[0137] In the lubricating oil system, two-phase flow and the high-temperature inner wall of the bearing cavity require convective heat transfer. The air outside the bearing cavity is in motion and also undergoes convective heat transfer with the outer wall of the bearing cavity. These forced convection heat transfer methods are quite unique and difficult to manage.
[0138] Formula for the forced convection heat transfer coefficient between the outer surface of the engine rotating shaft and the lubricating oil:
[0139]
[0140] The fuel / oil radiator uses a shell-and-tube design, with fuel flowing inside the tubes and oil flowing inside the outer shell.
[0141] Dimensionless functional relations:
[0142] ε = f(NTU, C*, M)
[0143] In the formula: M—flow pattern; ε—radiator heat transfer efficiency, representing the ratio of the actual heat transfer of the radiator to the theoretical maximum heat transfer; NTU—number of heat transfer units, a dimensionless measure of the radiator's "heat transfer scale," expressed as:
[0144]
[0145] Where: A—heat transfer area of the radiator, m2; Wmin—smaller heat capacity flow rate between the hot and cold fluids, W / K; K—overall heat transfer coefficient, W / m2.K.
[0146] Heat transfer coefficient:

[0149] The average convective temperature difference varies depending on the flow pattern:
[0150]
[0151] Theoretically, it is assumed that the amount of heat removed by the fuel system through the radiator is equal to the amount of heat dissipated by the lubricating oil system.
[0152] Q=KΔtS
[0153] Hydraulic component design:
[0154] The lubricating oil supply is determined by the total heat of the lubricating oil system, assuming the characteristics of the lubricating oil medium are known.
[0155]
[0156] Oil supply gear pump flow rate Q = 2πdmbn × 10 -6 Given a fixed structure, the flow rate is mainly determined by the rotational speed of the lubricating oil pump. The volumetric efficiency and mechanical efficiency of the gear pump are usually 0.70 to 0.95, which are selected according to the working pressure and structural form of the pump.
[0157] Considering that a large amount of air dissolves in the lubricating oil solution during the return oil circuit, and that gear pumps are inefficient, the return oil pump flow rate is usually designed to be 2 to 3 times the inlet oil pump flow rate to ensure the oil suction capacity of the return oil system.
[0158] The volume of the oil tank is the sum of the maximum oil consumption during engine operation and the amount of oil stored to ensure that the oil supply pump can draw oil from the tank and meet the allowable oil pressure for normal engine lubrication.
[0159] V = V K +V b +V p +V t
[0160] In the formula: V b —Do not use lubricating oil volume; V k —Available lubricating oil volume; V p —Expansion space; V t —The volume of lubricating oil swallowed.
[0161] Engine oil filters commonly use mesh filters. Currently, with increasing demands for filtration precision, the filter element's filtration precision has decreased to 10µm or even 3µm. The required flow area for the oil filter is:
[0162]
[0163] Oil filter pressure loss:
[0164]
[0165] The one-way valve is located after the lubricating oil filter element. Its main function is to prevent siphoning. That is, when the lubricating oil pump is not working, the one-way valve uses spring force to prevent the lubricating oil tank from supplying oil to the system.
[0166] The bypass valve is connected in parallel with the lubricating oil filter and the one-way valve. When the filter becomes clogged and the pressure difference reaches a certain limit, the bypass valve opens, and the lubricating oil system supplies oil directly without filtration, preventing the bearing cavity and gear transmission device from overheating and seizing.
[0167] To achieve a constant flow rate of lubricating oil at all flight altitudes, the oil volume remains essentially constant from the ground to high altitudes. A pressure regulating valve allows excess flow pumped out by the pump to return to the pump inlet, thus maintaining a constant flow of lubricating oil to the engine. The design parameters of the pressure regulating valve primarily regulate the pressure value, which is determined by the engine piping damping coefficient and the required oil supply for all engine operating conditions.
[0168] The relationship between the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet lubricating oil of the pressure regulating valve and the flow rate can be obtained from the pipeline pressure drop formula:
[0169]
[0170] The diameter of the nozzle is:
[0171] d=[4Q[ρ / (2gΔP)] 0.5 / (μπ) 0.5 ]
[0172] The piping of the lubrication system is subjected to loads such as constant liquid pressure, bending, thermal deformation, and alternating stress generated by the vibration of the power unit. The diameter, length, and direction of the piping should meet the resistance requirements of the system.
[0173] Diameter of pipelines in various parts of the lubricating oil system
[0174] Fuel system module design:
[0175] Gear pump oil supply flow rate Q = 2πdmbn × 10 -6 The volumetric efficiency and mechanical efficiency of gear pumps are typically between 0.70 and 0.95.
[0176] To ensure that the fuel system pressure does not exceed the limit and to protect the booster pump, a safety valve is usually installed after the high-pressure pump. The safety valve and the high-pressure pump are connected in parallel. When the system pressure exceeds the limit, the safety valve opens, and the high-pressure oil after the gear pump returns to the front of the pump through the safety valve, forming an internal circulation.
[0177] Fuel systems typically use mesh oil filters. Generally, a two-stage oil filter is installed at the high-pressure pump outlet: the coarse filter supplies fuel to the metering valve and differential pressure valve, while the fine filter supplies fuel to the constant pressure valve and servo valve. Currently, with increasing demands for filtration precision, filter element filtration accuracy has decreased to 3µm or even smaller. The required flow area for the oil filter is:
[0178]
[0179] The fuel metering module consists of a metering valve, a constant pressure valve, a differential pressure valve, a metering servo valve, and a displacement sensor.
[0180] The main design parameter of the metering valve is the metering orifice area, which ensures the maximum metering flow rate and the moving speed of the metering valve.
[0181] Its flow rate output:
[0182]
[0183] Affected by hydraulic pressure:
[0184]
[0185] The main function of the constant pressure valve is to provide constant pressure fuel to the metering servo valve, ensuring stable output of servo oil. The constant pressure valve converts high-pressure oil into constant pressure oil through orifice throttling. When the oil pressure flowing out of the constant pressure valve reaches the set value, the constant pressure oil acts on the upper end of the valve core, balancing with the spring force at the lower end of the valve core and the force generated by the low-pressure oil, thus achieving constant pressure output.
[0186] In a steady state:
[0187] P r *A1=P df *A1+F s
[0188] Among them, F s =-kx+F0 is the spring force, and its high-pressure flow input is:
[0189]
[0190] The parking module consists of a booster valve, a parking valve, and a parking solenoid valve. During normal operation, metered fuel passes through the booster valve and then into the parking valve, which supplies fuel to the engine. When the parking solenoid valve operates, the fuel pressure changes from low to high pressure. The high-pressure fuel shuts off the parking valve and the engine interface, connecting it to the low-pressure interface. After the booster valve, the fuel returns to the gear pump, creating an internal fuel circulation system.
[0191] Based on the above scheme, the systems are linked and combined by using the system coupling logic information between the systems, thereby obtaining the combustion and lubricating oil simulation model, which improves the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the constructed combustion and lubricating oil simulation model.
[0192] Optionally, a system simulation strategy for generating a fuel and lubricant simulation model based on various operational correlation information of the aero-engine includes: identifying environmental data of the aero-engine under various operating conditions and control command information under various operating conditions based on operational correlation information; identifying environmental parameters of various environmental types under various operating conditions based on environmental data of various operating conditions, and identifying sub-control commands of each system corresponding to each operating condition based on control command information of each operating condition; and using the environmental parameters of various environmental types under each operating condition and the sub-control commands of each system corresponding to each operating condition as the system simulation strategy for the fuel and lubricant simulation model.
[0193] In this embodiment, the terminal identifies the environmental data and control command information of the aero-engine under various operating conditions based on operational association information. The environmental data includes sub-environmental data ranges for different environmental types, such as temperature ranges (for ambient temperature), airflow speed ranges (for airflow speed), air pressure ranges (for air pressure), and humidity ranges (for humidity). Then, based on the environmental data of each operating condition, the terminal identifies the environmental parameters for each environmental type and, based on the control command information for each operating condition, identifies the sub-control commands for each system corresponding to each operating condition. The environmental parameters for each environmental type are the ranges of environmental parameter values obtained after parameterizing the environmental data ranges for each environmental type. The terminal presets parameterization programs for each environmental type and combines these programs to convert the sub-environmental data ranges for each environmental type into the ranges of environmental parameter values for that environmental type.
[0194] Then, the terminal uses the environmental parameters of each environmental type for each operating condition, as well as the sub-control commands of each system corresponding to each operating condition, as the system simulation strategy for the fuel and lubricating oil simulation model.
[0195] Based on the above scheme, by decomposing and transforming the various operational information, we can obtain the environmental parameters of each environmental type for each operational condition, as well as the sub-control instructions of each system corresponding to each operational condition, thereby improving the simulation realism of each operational condition.
[0196] Optionally, based on the system simulation strategy, the operation process of the fuel system and lubricating oil system is simulated through a fuel and lubricating oil simulation model to obtain simulation results. This includes: for each operating condition, adjusting the system environment parameters of the fuel and lubricating oil simulation model based on the environmental parameters of each environmental type of the operating condition to obtain the target fuel and lubricating oil simulation model corresponding to the operating condition; based on the target fuel and lubricating oil simulation model, simulating the operation process of the fuel system and lubricating oil system through the sub-control commands of each system corresponding to the operating condition to obtain the simulation operation data of each system corresponding to the operating condition, and using the simulation operation data of all systems as the simulation results.
[0197] In this embodiment, for each operating condition, the terminal adjusts the system environment parameters of the fuel and lubricating oil simulation model based on the environmental parameters of each environmental type under that operating condition, thus obtaining the target fuel and lubricating oil simulation model corresponding to the operating condition. Then, based on the target fuel and lubricating oil simulation model, the terminal simulates the operation of the fuel system and lubricating oil system through sub-control commands for each system corresponding to the operating condition, obtaining the simulation operation data for each system corresponding to the operating condition, and using the simulation operation data of all systems as the simulation operation result.
[0198] Specifically, the terminal establishes dynamic interaction interfaces between the aircraft engine fuel and lubricating oil systems and the engine performance model, control system, and air system. This enables mechanical, hydraulic, electrical, and thermal coupling between the aircraft engine fuel and lubricating oil systems and the control system, engine performance, air system, and transmission system. The output parameters of each system continuously and dynamically change with the engine status. The interface format is shown in Table 1.
[0199] Table 1
[0200]
[0201]
[0202] The terminal acquires the dynamic change sequence of each parameter output by each system, and obtains the simulation operation data of each system.
[0203] Based on the above scheme, dynamic simulation is performed through the constructed dynamic interactive interface to obtain simulation operation data of each system, thereby ensuring the comprehensiveness and practicality of the obtained simulation operation data.
[0204] Optionally, a performance evaluation strategy, including a sub-performance evaluation strategy for each system, is used to identify abnormal information between the fuel system and the lubricating oil system based on simulation results. This includes: for each operating condition, identifying the system performance data of each system based on the simulation data of each system corresponding to the operating condition, and using the sub-performance evaluation strategy for each system; identifying abnormal performance information of each system based on the system performance data of each system, and using the abnormal performance information of all systems as sub-abnormal performance information of the operating condition; and using the sub-abnormal performance information of all operating conditions as abnormal information between the fuel system and the lubricating oil system.
[0205] In this embodiment, for each operating condition, the terminal identifies the system performance data of each system based on the simulation operation data of each system corresponding to that operating condition, using a sub-performance evaluation strategy for each system. Then, based on the system performance data of each system, the terminal identifies abnormal performance information for each system and uses the abnormal performance information of all systems as sub-abnormal performance information for the operating condition. Finally, the terminal uses the sub-abnormal performance information of all operating conditions as abnormal information between the fuel system and the lubricating oil system. Specifically, the performance evaluation process includes, for example, the performance evaluation process for the fuel system and the lubricating oil system:

[0222] The short-term temperature of the fuel should not exceed 130℃, and the short-term operating temperature should not exceed 163℃.
[0223] The working temperature of the lubricating oil shall not exceed 200℃.
[0224] Based on the above scheme, by evaluating the performance of different systems according to different performance evaluation strategies, the comprehensiveness and accuracy of the analysis of the operation of each system of the aero-engine are ensured, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of subsequent adjustments to the system design parameters of the fuel system and lubricating oil system.
