Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of aircraft simulation, and particularly to a method, device, equipment and medium for analyzing the vortex characteristics of aircraft aerodynamic simulation. Background Art

[0002] In the field of aircraft aerodynamic design, accurately analyzing the vortex dynamic evolution in the unsteady flow field is of great significance for optimizing aerodynamic performance, predicting instability risks and reducing experimental costs. The spatio-temporal evolution of vortex structures, such as leading-edge vortices of wings, wake vortices and engine jet vortices, directly affects the lift distribution, drag characteristics and control stability of aircraft. Traditional vortex analysis methods mainly rely on threshold segmentation techniques based on local velocity gradient tensors to extract instantaneous vortex structures through scalar field thresholds. However, the existing technologies have a more complex description and lower efficiency for complex vortex structures. For example, in the flow around a wing, the interaction effect between the wingtip vortex and the separation vortex is difficult to accurately distinguish through a single scalar threshold. Due to the strong unsteadiness of the flow field, the vortex core line undergoes significant deformation due to advection, rotation or topological changes (such as merging and splitting), and traditional matching algorithms based on spatial overlap or centroid prediction are prone to tracking interruption due to geometric deviations, unable to meet the requirements of aircraft dynamic aerodynamic analysis.

[0003] With the expansion of the flight envelope and flight performance of the new generation of aircraft, high-efficiency and high-precision fluid simulation calculations are usually required. High-precision fluid simulation generates a large amount of data, and the generation speed of simulation data has far exceeded the I / O speed of supercomputers, resulting in the inability to transmit and analyze simulation data in a timely manner. In-situ visualization is the key technology to solve these problems. Since the data conversion process of in-situ visualization is completed at the computing nodes, it will consume a certain amount of computing resources and affect the computing efficiency, while traditional attribute consistency methods need to calculate a large number of physical attributes, resulting in a sharp increase in computing resource consumption. In addition, the existing methods lack an effective solution to the matching ambiguity in multi-vortex interaction scenarios (such as aerodynamic instability caused by vortex merging), which limits their application in in-situ visualization engineering practice. Moreover, aircraft design requires high-precision and real-time vortex analysis support, but the existing methods are difficult to balance efficiency and precision.

[0004] In summary, how to efficiently achieve the accurate extraction and tracking of vortices in the process of aircraft aerodynamic simulation design is a technical problem to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a method, device, equipment and medium for analyzing the vortex characteristics of aircraft aerodynamic simulation, which can efficiently achieve the accurate extraction and tracking of vortices in the process of aircraft aerodynamic simulation design. The specific solutions are as follows: In the first aspect, the present application discloses a method for analyzing the vortex characteristics of aircraft aerodynamic simulation, including: Obtain the CFD simulation results of the flow around the aircraft surface, wake or engine jet of the target aircraft after three-dimensional CFD simulation to obtain corresponding flow field data; wherein, the flow field data are the flow field grid points and the velocity gradient matrix, vorticity vector and spatial grid coordinates at each corresponding time step.

Determine the rotation intensity distance and rotation direction distance of the target vortex core lines at adjacent time steps to obtain physical feature similarity. Obtain the multi-dimensional attribute similarity of the target vortex core line at adjacent time steps based on the geometric similarity and the physical feature similarity.

[0008] Optionally, the detecting of the aircraft aerodynamic simulation vortex feature event and generating of the tracking result by using the similarity matrix includes: Judge the quantity correlation relationship of the target vortex core lines of the leading-edge vortex and the wake vortex at adjacent time steps according to the matrix elements of the similarity matrix, so as to detect the aircraft aerodynamic simulation vortex feature event based on the quantity correlation relationship and generate the tracking result.

[0009] Optionally, during the process of detecting the aircraft aerodynamic simulation vortex feature event based on the quantity correlation relationship, it further includes: Judge whether a first event of the target vortex core line of the leading-edge vortex at adjacent time steps crosses the wing span direction based on the quantity correlation relationship, and the type of the first event is a merging event type or a splitting event type; Judge whether a second event of the target vortex core line of the wake vortex at adjacent time steps occurs with the change of the flight speed based on the quantity correlation relationship, and the type of the second event is a dissipation event type or a newborn event type.

[0010] Optionally, the aircraft aerodynamic simulation vortex feature event includes a feature event of the leading-edge vortex and a feature event of the wake vortex. Among them, the feature event of the leading-edge vortex includes a vortex core line intensity attenuation event caused by the change of the angle of attack, and the feature event of the wake vortex includes a vortex core line helicity mutation event caused by the change of the engine thrust.

[0011] In a second aspect, the present application discloses an aircraft aerodynamic simulation vortex feature analysis device, including: A data acquisition module, configured to acquire the CFD simulation results of the flow around the aircraft surface, the wake flow or the engine jet flow after the three-dimensional CFD simulation of the target aircraft, so as to obtain the corresponding flow field data; wherein, the flow field data is the flow field grid points and the velocity gradient matrix, the vorticity vector and the spatial grid coordinates at each corresponding time step; A vortex core line extraction module, configured to extract the vortex core lines in the flow field data at each time step based on the definition of the Liutex vector field, and screen out the target vortex core lines representing the vortex structure from the vortex core lines; wherein, the vortex core lines include the vortex core lines of the leading-edge vortex and the vortex core lines of the wake vortex, the direction of the Liutex vector field is defined as the local rotation direction, and the magnitude of the Liutex vector field is defined as the local angular velocity; An eddy current analysis module, configured to construct an eddy core line similarity matrix based on the multi-dimensional attribute similarity of the target eddy core line at adjacent time steps, so as to detect an aircraft aerodynamic simulation eddy current feature event through the similarity matrix and generate a tracking result; wherein, the multi-dimensional attribute similarity includes geometric similarity and physical feature similarity.

[0012] In a third aspect, the present application discloses an electronic device, including: A memory, configured to store a computer program; A processor, configured to execute the computer program to implement the steps of the aircraft aerodynamic simulation eddy current feature analysis method disclosed above.

[0013] In a fourth aspect, the present application discloses a computer-readable storage medium, configured to store a computer program; wherein, when the computer program is executed by a processor, the steps of the aircraft aerodynamic simulation eddy current feature analysis method disclosed above are implemented.

[0014] It can be seen that the present application discloses an aircraft aerodynamic simulation eddy current feature analysis method, including: obtaining CFD simulation results of the flow around the surface, wake flow or engine jet flow of a target aircraft after three-dimensional CFD simulation to obtain corresponding flow field data; wherein, the flow field data is the flow field grid points and the corresponding velocity gradient matrix, vorticity vector and spatial grid coordinates at each time step; extracting eddy core lines from the flow field data at each time step based on the definition of the Liutex vector field, and screening out target eddy core lines representing vortex structures from the eddy core lines; wherein, the eddy core lines include the eddy core lines of the leading-edge vortices of the wing and the eddy core lines of the wake vortices, the direction of the Liutex vector field is defined as the local rotation direction, and the magnitude of the Liutex vector field is defined as the local angular velocity; constructing an eddy core line similarity matrix based on the multi-dimensional attribute similarity of the target eddy core line at adjacent time steps, so as to detect an aircraft aerodynamic simulation eddy current feature event through the similarity matrix and generate a tracking result; wherein, the multi-dimensional attribute similarity includes geometric similarity and physical feature similarity. Thus, by obtaining the CFD data of the flow around the surface, wake flow, and engine jet flow of the aircraft, the types of target vortices are clarified as leading-edge vortices of the wing and wake vortices, avoiding the non-discriminatory processing of the entire flow field. Further, based on the Liutex vector field, eddy core lines are extracted, and only the real vortex core points are retained, reducing the simulation data processing range from the entire flow field grid points to local grid points. Moreover, the eddy core lines extracted by the Liutex vector field coincide very well with the real vortex axis, solving the problem of over-extraction caused by noise, and the extraction process has a high degree of automation, without manual parameter adjustment, and is applicable to cross-condition simulation. Further, the accurate extraction of the initial eddy core line reduces the probability of false matching in the subsequent tracking stage, and finally, the accurate extraction and tracking of eddy currents are efficiently realized in the aircraft aerodynamic simulation eddy current feature analysis.

Detailed implementation manners

[0017] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0018] In the field of aircraft aerodynamic design, accurately analyzing the vortex dynamic evolution in the unsteady flow field is of great significance for optimizing aerodynamic performance, predicting instability risks, and reducing experimental costs. The spatio-temporal evolution of vortex structures, such as leading-edge vortices of wings, wake vortices, and engine jet vortices, directly affects the lift distribution, drag characteristics, and handling stability of aircraft. Traditional vortex analysis methods mainly rely on threshold segmentation techniques based on local velocity gradient tensors to extract instantaneous vortex structures through scalar field thresholds. However, the existing technologies have a more complex description and lower efficiency for complex vortex structures. For example, in the flow around a wing, the interaction effect between the tip vortex and the separation vortex is difficult to accurately distinguish through a single scalar threshold. Due to the strong unsteadiness of the flow field, the vortex core line undergoes significant deformation due to advection, rotation, or topological changes (such as merging and splitting). Traditional matching algorithms based on spatial overlap or centroid prediction are prone to tracking interruptions due to geometric deviations and cannot meet the requirements of aircraft dynamic aerodynamic analysis.

[0019] In aircraft aerodynamic simulation, the scale of flow field data is huge (such as tens of millions of grid points). Traditional property consistency methods need to calculate a large number of physical properties, resulting in a sharp increase in computational resource consumption. In addition, the existing methods lack effective solutions to the matching ambiguity in multi-vortex interaction scenarios (such as aerodynamic instability caused by vortex merging), which limits their application in engineering practice. Moreover, aircraft design requires high-precision and real-time vortex analysis support, but the existing methods are difficult to balance efficiency and accuracy.

[0020] Therefore, the present invention provides a vortex feature analysis solution for aircraft aerodynamic simulation, which can efficiently achieve the accurate extraction and tracking of vortices during the aircraft aerodynamic simulation design process.

[0021] Refer to Figure 1 As shown, the embodiments of the present invention disclose a method for analyzing vortex features in aircraft aerodynamic simulation, including: Step S11: Obtain the CFD simulation results of the flow around the aircraft surface, wake flow, or engine jet flow of the target aircraft after three-dimensional CFD simulation to obtain corresponding flow field data; wherein, the flow field data is the flow field grid points and the corresponding velocity gradient matrix, vorticity vector, and spatial grid coordinates at each time step.

[0022] In this embodiment, through aircraft wind tunnel experiments or CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) simulation software, flow field data is output with a time step of Δt = 0.001 s, and the flow field data of the target aircraft in the aerodynamic simulation scenario is collected in chronological order. Among them, the flow field data specifically includes velocity field data (three-dimensional velocity components ), vorticity vector ( ), and spatial grid coordinates (spatial discrete point coordinates ). The data format is HDF5 (Hierarchical Data Format 5), and the grid resolution is 1 mm. Gradient operations are performed on the velocity field data at each time step to obtain a velocity gradient matrix.

[0023] Step S12: Extract vortex core lines from the flow field data at each time step based on the definition of the Liutex vector field, and screen out target vortex core lines representing vortex structures from the vortex core lines; among them, the vortex core lines include the vortex core lines of the leading-edge vortices of the wing and the vortex core lines of the wake vortices. The direction of the Liutex vector field is defined as the local rotation direction, and the magnitude of the Liutex vector field is defined as the local angular velocity.

[0024] In this embodiment, the velocity gradient matrix is subjected to eigen - decomposition processing to obtain real eigenvalues, the imaginary parts of complex eigenvalues, and the unit eigen - vectors of the real eigenvalues are used as the local rotation directions of the Liutex vector field; based on the imaginary parts of the complex eigenvalues, the vorticity vector, and the local rotation directions, the magnitudes of the Liutex vector field are determined to obtain the local angular velocity; according to the cross - product norms of the gradients of the local angular velocities of each flow - field grid point and the vectors of the local rotation directions, the flow - field grid points that satisfy the first preset core - point screening condition for the cross - product norms are selected as candidate vortex core points; based on the relative rotation intensities of the candidate vortex core points, the candidate vortex core points that satisfy the second preset core - point screening condition for the relative rotation intensities are selected as target vortex core points; with the target vortex core points as seed points, integration is performed along the direction of the local rotation direction using the fourth - order Runge - Kutta method to generate the initial vortex core lines of the leading - edge vortices of the wing and the initial vortex core lines of the wake vortices respectively. It can be understood that for the vortices in the engine jet, it further includes extracting the vortex core lines in the interaction region between the jet and the free stream, and the interaction region is defined by the ratio of the jet exit velocity to the free stream velocity. The Liutex vortex core lines of the flow - field vortex characteristics in the flow field formed after the aerodynamic simulation of the above - mentioned aircraft are extracted, where the vortex core line is a topological structure describing the vortex characteristics in the flow field. The Liutex vortex core line is uniquely generated by the Liutex vector field. The direction of the Liutex vector is defined as the local rotation axis, and the magnitude of the Liutex vector is defined as the local angular velocity, that is, the mathematical definition of the Liutex vector field is as follows: ; where, denotes the Liutex vector, a vector used to characterize the vortex characteristics at a certain point in the flow field, comprehensively reflecting the intensity and direction information of the vortex, denotes the Liutex scalar, representing the local rotation intensity, used to quantify the intensity characteristics of the vortex, denotes the vorticity vector, is the real eigenvalue of the velocity gradient matrix is the unit eigen - vector of, used to characterize the direction of the local rotation axis of the vortex, is the imaginary part of the complex eigenvalue of the velocity gradient matrix, and the real part is .

[0025] Based on the above - mentioned Liutex vector - field definition, the velocity gradient matrix is subjected to eigen - decomposition processing to obtain real eigenvalues and the imaginary parts of complex eigenvalues, and the unit eigen - vectors of the real eigenvalues are used as the local rotation directions of the Liutex vector field to calculate the local angular velocities, that is, the Liutex scalars, of each flow - field grid point . Calculate the Liutex scalar The cross - product norm of the gradient and the local rotation axis vector, and filter the flow field grid points that satisfy the cross - product norm as candidate vortex core points, where ε is a preset extremely small positive number used to determine whether a grid point in the flow field is on the vortex core line; Therefore, the first preset core point screening condition is the screening condition that the deviation degree between the change direction of the rotation intensity of the flow field grid point and the rotation axis direction is less than ε, that is, the C - 1 criterion. As Figure 2 shown, take the data after aircraft aerodynamic simulation as the data set, and based on this data set, identify and extract the vortex core line. First, calculate the cross - product norm of the gradient of the Liutex scalar R of each flow field grid point and the local rotation axis vector, and then determine whether the calculated cross - product norm satisfies the C - 1 criterion. As Figure 3 is the original flow field morphology of a three - dimensional isentropic vortex.

[0026] Furthermore, for the candidate vortex core points that currently satisfy the C - 1 criterion, the change direction of the Liutex scalar is consistent with the local rotation axis direction, but it cannot distinguish the vortex region and the non - vortex region. In the fluid, in addition to the vortex region, there are other regions, such as the laminar flow region, and the of these regions may also be less than ε, but they are not vortex core points. Therefore, for the candidate vortex core points in the flow field regions of the leading - edge vortex and wake vortex of the wing, determine whether the candidate vortex core points satisfy the second preset core point screening condition. Specifically, calculate the relative rotation intensity of the candidate vortex core point, and preset a target intensity threshold . If the relative rotation intensity of the current candidate vortex core point, this condition ensures that the identified points not only satisfy the C - 1 criterion but also have sufficient rotation intensity (satisfy the C - 2 criterion), thus distinguishing the vortex region and the non - vortex region, then the current candidate vortex core point is the target vortex core point. It should be noted that different fluid dynamics problems may have different vortex characteristics and intensities. By adjusting the intensity threshold in the C - 2 criterion, different problems can be adapted to ensure accurate identification of vortex core points in various situations.

[0027] As Figure 2 shown, the formula for calculating the relative rotation intensity of the candidate vortex core points that satisfy the C - 1 criterion is as follows: ; Specifically, taking the target vortex core point as the seed point, integrating along the direction of the local rotation direction using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method to respectively generate the initial vortex core line of the leading-edge vortex of the wing and the initial vortex core line of the wake vortex. It can be understood that in the three-dimensional flow field obtained by CFD simulation, taking the target vortex core point as the seed point, starting from each seed point, integrating along the direction of the Liutex vector using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method to generate the initial vortex core line.

[0028] The specific process of integrating using the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method is as follows: Select a sufficiently small integration step size , usually smaller than the minimum value of the flow field grid interval, to ensure the accuracy of the integration. Starting from the spatial position of each seed point at the time step, integrate along the direction of the Liutex vector R to update the spatial position of each target vortex core point at the time step. The position update formula is as follows: ; where is the Liutex unit vector at the point , , , , represent intermediate calculation quantities, which are incremental terms obtained through operations at different positions and are used to gradually calculate the weighted value of the position update. represents the integration step size, which represents a small distance increment and is used to control the step size of the position update. The termination conditions for the integration include that the magnitude of the Liutex vector is zero, reaching the boundary of the computational domain, the integration step size is less than the minimum step size, reaching the maximum number of integration steps or length, and the convergence of the vortex core line. Figure 4 is the three-dimensional flow field space curve generated by the point integration that satisfies the C-1 criterion. The points screened by the C-1 criterion and the C-2 criterion can obtain the flow field space curve as shown in Figure 5 after integration processing.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first spatial distance between the initial vortex core lines in each vortex core line group of the leading-edge wing vortex and the second spatial distance between the initial vortex core lines in each vortex core line group of the wake vortex are determined respectively; wherein, the vortex core line group is constructed based on any two initial vortex core lines; according to each of the first spatial distances and each of the second spatial distances, the target vortex core line groups that meet the first spatial distance threshold condition and the second spatial distance threshold condition are screened respectively, and the target vortex core line groups are merged to obtain the first vortex core line group and the second vortex core line group respectively; according to the spatial gradient values of the local angular velocities of the integral starting points of the initial vortex core lines in the first vortex core line group and the second vortex core line group, the initial vortex core lines with spatial gradient values meeting the preset spatial gradient threshold are screened to obtain the target vortex core line of the leading-edge wing vortex and the target vortex core line of the wake vortex respectively. It can be understood that the obtained initial vortex core lines are screened. In an ideal situation, the vortex core line should be unique, but due to numerical discretization, multiple core lines may be generated at close positions. These additional core lines are called spurious core lines. The existence of spurious core lines will interfere with the accurate identification and analysis of the vortex structure. To ensure that the generated core lines can truly reflect the physical characteristics of the vortices in the flow field, the C-3 criterion is used to identify and delete these spurious core lines to ensure the uniqueness of the core lines, where the C-3 criterion is to judge whether the relevant information of the initial vortex core line meets the spatial distance threshold condition and the spatial gradient threshold condition, and finally the target vortex core lines that meet the C-1, C-2, and C-3 criteria are obtained as described in Figure 6 to describe the target vortex core lines of the vortex characteristics in the isentropic vortex flow field. Specifically, for the leading-edge wing vortex, calculate the minimum spatial distance dis between any two initial vortex core lines in each vortex core line group of the leading-edge wing vortex. When there are two curves, curve A and curve B, which are represented by the point sets and respectively. For each point on curve A, calculate its distance from all points on curve B. The distance between the point pair ( , ) can be calculated by the Euclidean distance formula: ; where represents the distance between two points, , , are the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the point , , , are the three-dimensional spatial coordinates of the point .

[0030] For each point on curve A, find the point on curve B with the distance The nearest point , and record this minimum distance. This process can be expressed as: ; where is the minimum distance from point to curve B. To obtain the average distance between two curves, the average of the minimum distances of all point pairs can be calculated to obtain the first spatial distance: ; where N is the number of points on curve A.

[0031] Based on the first spatial distance, determine whether two initial vortex core lines belong to the same group. If the first spatial distance dis between the two initial vortex core lines is less than the characteristic parameter σ, that is, dis < σ, satisfying the first spatial threshold condition, then it is considered that these two initial vortex core lines belong to the same group to obtain the target vortex core line group, and the target vortex core line groups are merged to obtain the first vortex core line group.

[0032] In the first vortex core line group, select the vortex core line generated by the point with the minimum Liutex gradient at the integral starting point Li as the most accurate core line as a representative, and delete the remaining core lines. After successfully identifying and calculating the target vortex core line of the leading-edge vortex of the wing, use the target vortex core line as the skeleton to track the vortex characteristics. The final vortex core line will be expressed as: ; where is the time step, is the number of the vortex in a single time step, represents the vortex core line with the time step number , represents that there are a total of or features in the flow field at the current time step, that is, or vortex core lines are extracted, represents the total number of data points on the vortex core line numbered in the flow field at the current time step, represents the spatial position at point , represents the magnitude of the Liutex vector of the vortex core line numbered at point , represents the Liutex vector of the vortex core line numbered at point . For ease of description, the vortex core line is simplified as: ; Indicates the point on the vortex core line numbered in the previous time step , Indicates the vortex core line numbered in the previous time step Indicates the point on the vortex core line numbered in the subsequent time step , Indicates the vortex core line numbered in the subsequent time step

[0033] The process of screening the target vortex core line for the wake vortex is the same as that for the leading-edge wing vortex described above, and will not be elaborated here.

[0034] Step S13: Construct a vortex core line similarity matrix based on the multi-dimensional attribute similarity of the target vortex core lines in adjacent time steps, so as to detect the aerodynamic simulation vortex flow characteristic events of the aircraft through the similarity matrix and generate a tracking result; wherein, the multi-dimensional attribute similarity includes geometric similarity and physical feature similarity.

[0035] In this embodiment, before constructing the vortex core line similarity matrix based on the multi-dimensional attribute similarity of the target vortex core lines in adjacent time steps, it further includes: determining the spatial position distance and curve trend of the target vortex core lines in adjacent time steps to obtain geometric similarity; determining the rotation intensity distance and rotation direction distance of the target vortex core lines in adjacent time steps to obtain physical feature similarity; obtaining the multi-dimensional attribute similarity of the target vortex core lines in adjacent time steps according to the geometric similarity and the physical feature similarity. It can be understood that the Liutex vortex core line definition contains both the geometric information and physical information of the vortex. By calculating the geometric similarity and physical similarity of the vortex core lines, the similarity between two vortex core lines can be obtained, providing data support for vortex core line matching. The geometric information of the curve includes its spatial position distance and curve trend. The spatial distance of the curve can be represented by the Euclidean distance, and the trend similarity between curves can be represented by the covariance. The geometric similarity can be expressed as: ; wherein, and are two target vortex core lines, is the geometric shape similarity. DTSM is a distribution curve similarity measurement method, which is used to calculate the geometric similarity between target vortex core lines in this embodiment.

Is a penalty factor used to assign weights to the global correlation and spatial distance. Calculate the similarity between two curves based on these weighted similarity algorithms. The higher the value, the greater the weight of the global correlation. By default, set = 1.

[0037] Furthermore, calculate the physical feature similarity between vortices in the flow field, that is, the physical property similarity between the target vortex core lines. Use the following algorithm to calculate the similarity between the physical features of the vortices contained in the Liutex vortex core line, such as the rotation direction Liutex vector And the magnitude of the rotation intensity Liutex vector .

[0039] ; In this embodiment, by integrating the geometric similarity and the physical feature similarity, the final multi-dimensional attribute similarity S between the target vortex core lines is obtained, and the formula is as follows: ; where, and are attribute weights, and different weights are assigned according to the influence degree of the attributes on the vortex characteristics of the flow field. By default in this embodiment, is 0.2, is 0.8, and different flow fields are slightly adjusted according to the actual situation.

[0040] In this embodiment, according to the calculated multi-dimensional attribute similarity, a similarity matrix of n×m vortex core lines is constructed. n represents the number of vortex core lines at time t, m represents the number of vortex core lines at time t + 1. The row number of the constructed similarity matrix represents the number of the vortex core line at time t, and the column number of the matrix represents the number of the vortex core line at time t + 1. The matrix element is a decimal between [0, 1]. If the similarity between two vortex core lines is greater than the minimum similarity threshold, it is considered that the vortex core lines are similar, that is, the represented vortex characteristics are similar. As shown in the schematic diagrams of the target vortex core lines in the three-dimensional semi-cylindrical turbulent flow field at adjacent time steps in FIGS. 7(a) to 7(c), and calculating according to the vortex characteristics in FIGS. 7(a) and 7(b) will obtain a vortex characteristic similarity matrix as shown in Figure 8 . As shown in Figure 9As shown, a corresponding similarity matrix is constructed through the multi-dimensional attribute similarity of the above-mentioned target vortex core line. Based on the quantitative correlation relationship between the matrix elements in the similarity matrix and the vortex core line, the similar vortex features are determined, and the final feature events are determined according to the pre-set correspondence between the quantity and the event.

[0041] In this embodiment, the quantitative correlation relationship of the target vortex core lines of the leading-edge vortex and the wake vortex of the wing at adjacent time steps is judged according to the matrix elements of the similarity matrix, so as to detect the aerodynamic simulation vortex feature events of the aircraft and generate a tracking result based on the quantitative correlation relationship. Wherein, in the process of detecting the aerodynamic simulation vortex feature events of the aircraft based on the quantitative correlation relationship, it further includes: judging whether a first event of the target vortex core line of the leading-edge vortex of the wing at adjacent time steps crosses the wing span direction based on the quantitative correlation relationship, and the type of the first event is a merging event type or a splitting event type; judging whether a second event occurs to the target vortex core line of the wake vortex of the wing at adjacent time steps with the change of the flight speed based on the quantitative correlation relationship, and the type of the second event is a dissipation event type or a newborn event type. The aerodynamic simulation vortex feature events of the aircraft include the feature events of the leading-edge vortex of the wing and the feature events of the wake vortex of the wing. Among them, the feature events of the leading-edge vortex of the wing include the event of the attenuation of the vortex core line intensity caused by the change of the angle of attack, and the feature events of the wake vortex of the wing include the event of the sudden change of the helicity of the vortex core line caused by the change of the engine thrust. It can be understood that according to the definition of the feature events, there are a total of 5 types of events: continuation, splitting, merging, generation, and dissipation. The obtained similarity matrix is traversed, and the events that occur are judged according to the feature correspondence relationship. When the feature quantity correspondence relationship is: 1 to 1: continuation event; 1 to many: splitting event; many to 1: merging event; 0 to 1: generation event; 1 to 0: dissipation event. Finally, a directed acyclic graph of the feature tracking result is generated according to the detected feature correlation relationship and the feature events.
