Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of aerodynamic wind tunnel testing, and in particular relates to a testing device and method for dynamic derivative wind tunnel testing. Background Art

[0002] During the aircraft design process, aerodynamic performance analysis and comprehensive design are essential. First, it is necessary to understand the aerodynamic force and torque characteristics of the aircraft under steady and unsteady flight conditions. Simultaneously, flight stability must be predicted. This requires an aerodynamic representation that can not only provide the six-component aerodynamic forces but also provide flight stability criteria. In a linear aerodynamic system, the derivatives of aerodynamic forces and torques serve as such criteria. The derivatives of aerodynamic forces and torques with respect to angular displacement are called static derivatives, while the derivatives of aerodynamic forces and torques with respect to angular velocity are called dynamic derivatives. Dynamic derivatives are the derivatives of the six aerodynamic coefficients (i.e., the three force and three torque coefficients in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system) with respect to the time rate of change of the aircraft's attitude parameters. There are 36 dynamic derivatives in total, of which the three direct damping derivatives, three time-lag derivatives, two cross derivatives, and four cross-coupling derivatives have the greatest impact on aircraft performance. Dynamic derivatives are used to describe the aerodynamic characteristics of an aircraft during maneuvers and when subjected to disturbances. These are essential aerodynamic parameters for aircraft aerodynamic performance design, control systems, and overall design. Throughout the various stages of aircraft design, as the aerodynamic shape is adjusted, designers must understand its dynamic aerodynamic characteristics and gradually improve them to enhance the flight performance and flight quality of the final shape. Currently, the primary methods for obtaining dynamic derivatives include engineering estimation, CFD calculations, wind tunnel testing, and flight testing.

[0003] Generally speaking, at low angles of attack and in attached flow conditions, the dynamic derivatives of an aircraft can be estimated using engineering estimates. Furthermore, within this small angle of attack range, even under varying flight conditions, the dynamic derivatives vary only slightly. Therefore, using a specific dynamic derivative value for flight dynamics analysis can meet the requirements. However, engineering estimates can only provide a very rough estimate, and during the aircraft design process, it is impossible to determine the difference between two similar configurations.

[0004] With the development of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), the use of theoretical methods to calculate aircraft dynamic derivatives has become a feasible and efficient approach in aircraft design. This method can be used to calculate dynamic derivatives for aircraft with complex shapes and under a variety of flight conditions, providing a low-cost estimate of dynamic derivative values ​​for each state. However, as the angle of attack increases and the aircraft's shape becomes more complex, dynamic derivatives become more dependent on factors such as the formation and breakup of flow separation vortices. CFD is difficult to simulate in dynamic conditions, thus limiting its application.

[0005] Wind tunnel testing can reproducibly provide a large amount of test data and realistically simulate flight environments, making it an effective method for measuring dynamic derivatives. It can conveniently provide dynamic derivatives under various flight conditions. Currently, single-degree-of-freedom forced vibration equipment is commonly used in low-speed wind tunnels to conduct dynamic derivative wind tunnel testing. These tests can generally detect three angular vibrations: pitch, yaw, and roll, and two translational vibrations: heave and lateral translation. These tests are typically conducted in specially designed open wind tunnels, or require a vibration control mechanism to be placed outside the wind tunnel, with a long strut extending into the wind tunnel and connected to the model to control the model's vibration. Dedicated equipment is required for each vibration mode. To minimize interference with the equipment's dynamic derivative measurements, the model struts are typically designed to be relatively long. Consequently, the model's amplitude is relatively large to ensure accurate measurement of various motion modes. To prevent the model from colliding with the wind tunnel walls, strict restrictions are placed on the model size, resulting in a relatively small scale and a low test Reynolds number, which reduces the accuracy of the dynamic derivative measurements. At the same time, since different vibration modes require the replacement of different test devices, the entire model needs to be disassembled and assembled during the test, resulting in low test efficiency.

The reinforcement frame inside the nose 1 is made of carbon fiber plate. A connecting frame is designed on the rear end face of the nose 1, which is made of aluminum alloy and connected to the front end of the middle fuselage 5 through a circular straight mouth, positioned by pins and connected by screws.

As a preferred solution, aluminum alloy is used to ensure good processability of the parts and minimize their weight. The upper surface of the upper connecting plate 18 is designed as a wing 2 mounting reference surface and is connected to the wing 2 by screws.

The center wing is made of aluminum alloy, with its left and right sides connected to the left and right outer wings using carbon fiber plates and screws. The underside of the center wing is screwed to the connecting plate 18 on the center fuselage frame.

[0043] The skin of the rear fuselage 6 and the tail 3 is formed of carbon fiber, and a front connecting frame is designed on the front end surface. It is connected to the middle fuselage 5 through a round straight mouth and fixed with pin positioning screws.

[0044] The wind tunnel struts 4 and the balance are key components connecting the model to the wind tunnel model attitude control mechanism. They require very high strength and rigidity and are therefore made of high-strength steel. One end of the wind tunnel struts 4 is connected to the wind tunnel model attitude control system, while the other end is connected to the balance or base via screws. To achieve five oscillation modes, including heave, lateral shift, pitch, yaw, and roll, three types of balances are designed.

Under the drive of the wind tunnel attitude control system, the power pull rod 12 can generate up and down movement, thereby causing the pitch balance support to generate rotational motion around the pin of the pitch oscillation base 11, causing the aircraft model to generate pitch oscillation, and then the dynamic derivative of the aircraft in this oscillation mode can be measured.

[0047] The roll oscillation balance seat 20, roll oscillation base 23, eccentric slider 22, slider 21, and power pull rod 12 together constitute a roll oscillation mechanism, which is made of high-strength steel. The front part of the roll oscillation balance seat 20 is designed with a plane connected to the balance 7, which is connected to the lower surface of the balance 7 by screws. The middle part is designed to be cylindrical and can rotate around the center of the roll oscillation base 23. A cylinder is designed at the rear, which is not coaxial with the cylinder in the middle. By changing the eccentricity, the amplitude of the roll oscillation can be adjusted. It is connected to the eccentric slider 22, and the lower part of the eccentric slider 22 is connected to the slider 21. The lower part of the slider 21 is connected to the power pull rod 12. The power pull rod 12 can move up and down under the drive of the wind tunnel attitude control system, causing the slider 21 to slide up and down, driving the eccentric slider 22 to slide up and down and left and right, causing the roll oscillation balance seat 20 to generate a roll motion, thereby causing the aircraft model to generate a roll oscillation, and then the dynamic derivative of the aircraft in this oscillation mode can be measured.
