[0090] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0091] The following detailed description is exemplary and intended to provide further detailed explanation of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used in this invention is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of exemplary embodiments according to the invention.

[0092] The purpose of this invention is to achieve parameterized control of the nozzle, realize automatic nozzle generation, and provide a model basis for optimized design. The parameterized design scheme for aircraft engine nozzles provided by this invention mainly includes the following steps: cashew-shaped cross-section calculation, main duct parameterized calculation, central through-pipe and support plate design, and nozzle model generation.

[0093] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0094] The parametric design scheme for aircraft engine nozzles provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, through specific embodiments and application scenarios.

[0095] As attached Figure 1 As shown, the parameterized design method for aircraft engine nozzles in this application includes the following steps:

[0096] Step 101: Design the circular inlet section and cashew-shaped outlet section of the aircraft engine nozzle, and discretize each node on the circular inlet section and cashew-shaped outlet section.

[0097] Step 101 is the calculation process for the cashew-shaped cross-section. In an optional embodiment, designing the circular inlet cross-section and cashew-shaped outlet cross-section of the aircraft engine nozzle, and discretizing the nodes on the inlet and cashew-shaped outlet cross-sections, may include the following sub-steps:

[0098] Sub-step 1: Determine the variable and unknown parameters of the cashew nut-shaped cross-section.

[0099] Appendix Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a cashew nut-shaped cross-section. Figure 2 The parameters are marked with various variable and unknown parameters. The cashew nut shape parameter settings are as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the parameters include variable parameters and unknown parameters. The variable parameters include area, aspect ratio, L and R1, ensuring that each parameter is within the practically feasible range. The unknown parameters include R2, R3 and θ.

[0100] Sub-step 2: Construct a set of shape parameter equations for the cashew nut-shaped cross-section based on each variable and unknown parameter.

[0101] The equations for the shape parameters of the cashew nut-shaped cross-section are nonlinear. The specific equations for the shape parameters of the cashew nut-shaped cross-section are as follows:

[0102] 1 / 2 area: S = S1 + S2 + S3 + S4 - S5

[0103] Aspect Ratio:

[0104]

[0105]

[0106]

[0107]

[0108]

[0109]

[0110]

[0111]

[0112] Sub-step 3: Use the Newton-Raphson iteration method to calculate the equations of the cashew cross-section shape parameters, and solve for the unknown parameters and variable parameters.

[0113] In practical implementation, a series of nonlinear equations are constructed based on the cashew nut-shaped surface features. To solve this complex system of equations, the classic Newton-Raphson iteration method is used as the computational engine. The essence of this method lies in its ability to utilize the derivative information of the function at a certain point, i.e., the gradient or Jacobian matrix, to transform the original nonlinear problem into a series of solvable linear subproblems, thereby gradually approximating the true solution. Initial value selection: The initial input values ​​of the variable parameters area, aspect ratio, L and R1, and R3 are determined as the starting point for iteration, and R2, R3, and θ are solved.

[0114] Sub-step 4: Based on the position parameters and variable parameters, generate the inlet cross section and the cashew-shaped outlet cross section, and discretize each node on the inlet cross section and the cashew-shaped outlet cross section.

[0115] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the inlet and outlet cross-sections. Figure 4 The left-middle image is a schematic diagram of the outlet cross-section. Figure 4 The right-middle figure is a schematic diagram of the inlet cross-section.

[0116] In practical implementation, the key parameters controlling the positioning of each part of the cashew nut-shaped surface—a, b, c, d—can be accurately solved using Newton's iteration method. The cross-section is discretized into points. To ensure a smooth transition with the inlet circle at the interface, the number of nodes in parts a and b can be kept strictly consistent with that in parts c and d, thus achieving coordinate transformation and surface continuity.

[0117] After completing the cashew-shaped cross-section calculation, the main pipeline is parametrically calculated. The parametric calculation of the main pipeline includes the following steps: obtaining the inlet and outlet cross-section parameters, calculating the friction section, verifying and correcting the friction section, scaling the area of ​​each friction section, and designing the centerline offset, as shown in steps 102 to 108.

[0118] Step 102: Determine the coordinates of each discrete node on the inlet section and the coordinates of each discrete node on the cashew-shaped outlet section.

[0119] This step involves obtaining the parameters of the inlet and outlet sections, primarily by acquiring the coordinates of discrete points on the inlet and outlet sections.

[0120] In one alternative embodiment, determining the coordinates of each discrete node on the inlet section and the coordinates of each discrete node on the cashew-shaped outlet section may include the following sub-steps:

[0121] Sub-step 1: For the inlet section, divide the circumference of the inlet section into N parts, and calculate the angle between each arc segment and the positive horizontal axis.

[0122] Sub-step 2: For each arc segment, determine the chord length of the arc segment based on the included angle corresponding to the arc segment and the radius of the circumference of the inlet cross section.

[0123] Sub-step 3: For each arc segment, determine the dimensionless arc length corresponding to the discrete node based on the chord length of the arc segment, and determine the coordinates of the discrete node based on the dimensionless arc length.

[0124] After determining the discrete coordinates of the inlet and outlet sections, the parameters of the inlet and outlet sections are determined, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the inlet parameter is a circle, therefore the inlet parameter satisfies the following condition: the curvature of all points on the inlet profile is equal. Discretizing the circle involves dividing the circumference into multiple small segments, each representing a small arc segment. These arc segments can then be approximated by straight line segments (chord lengths). Each such straight line segment is called ssi, which is the straight-line distance between two points. An angle θi is also introduced, representing the angle between this line segment and the positive horizontal axis. A schematic diagram of the curvature calculation principle is shown below. Figure 5 As shown.

[0125] Specifically, you can find the SSI by following these steps:

[0126] Determine θi: This is the angle between line segment ssi and the positive horizontal axis. It can be determined by measuring the central angle. If the circle is divided evenly, then θi is equal to 360 degrees divided by the number of segments.

[0127] To find ssi using θi and radius R: Since ssi is actually a chord, we can calculate it using the sine or cosine law. However, in this case, a more direct approach is to use the cosine theorem, since θi and R are known. According to the cosine theorem:

[0128]

[0129] The dimensionless arc lengths corresponding to each discrete node are as follows:

[0130]

[0131] Where, x i y i Let i be the coordinates of node i.

[0132] Sub-step 4: For the cashew-shaped outlet section, determine the straight segments and arc segments with different curvatures contained on the cashew-shaped outlet section.

[0133] Sub-step 5: Determine that the curvature of each discrete point on the straight line segment is 0. For arc segments with different curvatures, match the corresponding curvature calculation formula according to the type of each arc segment.

[0134] The exit section has a shape comprising arc segments with varying curvatures and straight segments, the latter having zero curvature. For any point on the curve, the curvature k is defined as the ratio of the absolute value of the rate of change of the tangent direction at that point to the rate of change of the arc length of the curve.

[0135] Specifically, if y=f(x) is the equation of a curve, then the curvature k at x=x0 is given by the following formula:

[0136]

[0137] For a curve in parametric form, where x = x(t) and y = y(t), the curvature κ is given by the following equation:

[0138]

[0139] In the above formula, the single dot at the top represents the first derivative with respect to the parameter t, and the double dot represents the second derivative.

[0140] Sub-step 6: Determine the coordinates of each discrete node in the cashew-shaped outlet section based on the curvature and arc length corresponding to each discrete point in the cashew-shaped outlet section.

[0141] Step 103: Based on the curvature of each discrete node on the inlet section, the curvature of each discrete node on the cashew-shaped outlet section, and the preset curvature change expression of the friction section, calculate the geometric profile of each friction section of the main duct of the aircraft engine nozzle according to the constraints.

[0142] This step outlines the relevant procedures for calculating friction section.

[0143] The variation law of the cross-sectional profile along the bending pipe is based on a polynomial curve of curvature variation. The expression for the curvature variation of the cross-section along the bending pipe is:

[0144]

[0145] C J =

[0146] i is a point on each cross-section profile, i = 1, 2, 3...I, where I is the number of points on the cross-section profile; J is the number of friction sections, J = 1, 2, 3...J, where J is the number of friction sections; C J C is a function that controls the curvature transition. J Schematic diagram of function curve, s i The arc length at each point corresponding to the profile cross section. Let the curvature of the inlet external flow channel cross-section be the curvature corresponding to point i. Let i be the curvature of the exit section profile at point i. Let be the curvature of the i-th transition section profile corresponding to point i. Based on the distribution of curvature k along the arc length for each section determined above, the geometric profile of each section can be calculated. The coefficients of the fifth-order polynomial can be changed to adjust the rate of change of the section curvature.

[0147] Constraints:

[0148] 1. The slope at both ends of the curve is 0, ensuring that the curvature of the cross-section near the inlet is close to Kin, and the curvature of the cross-section near the outlet is close to Kout.

[0149] 2. At the starting point C0=0, at the ending point C J =1, which yields two valid equations.

[0150]

[0151] The curvature of each section can be controlled by adjusting a3, b3, c3, d3, and e3 using the above equations.

[0152] Step 104: Correct the calculated geometric profiles of each friction section to obtain the corrected geometric profiles of each friction section.

[0153] This step outlines the calculation process for verifying and correcting the friction section. A schematic diagram of the friction section verification calculation is shown below. Figure 7 As shown.

[0154] The process of correcting the calculated geometric profiles of each friction section to obtain the corrected geometric profiles can include the following sub-steps:

[0155] Sub-step 1: For each friction section, determine the initial point of the friction section;

[0156] Sub-step 2: Using coordinate recursion, starting from the initial point, calculate the coordinates of the next point based on the arc length and the curvature of the current point, until all points along the friction section are reached, and the coordinates of all points are obtained;

[0157] Sub-step 3: Determine the closure of the friction section based on the curvature and arc length of all points along the section;

[0158] Sub-step 4: If the friction section is not closed, determine the correction factor; based on the correction factor, correct the geometry of the friction section.

[0159] Total arc length estimation: The total arc length is calculated by accumulating the lengths of each chord segment.

[0160] Initial point setting: Assume the starting point is located at the origin, i.e., coordinates (x1, y1) = (0, 0), which is the starting point for calculation.

[0161] Coordinate recursion: Starting from the second point, using the arc length SSi and the curvature kj(si) of the current point, calculate the coordinates of the next point. This is determined by the following equation. Starting from the third point, this process is repeated until all points on the transition section have been calculated.

[0162]

[0163] Closure judgment and correction

[0164] Closure test: Ensuring the closure of the graph is crucial during calculation. To do this, the cumulative product of curvature and arc length at all discrete coordinate points is calculated. Theoretically, if the graph is closed, this cumulative value should equal π (considering potential small errors). If the cumulative value does not equal π, then... The value π indicates that the figure is not yet completely closed. To correct this, the product of curvature kj(si) and arc length SSi, kj(si) * SSi, can be adjusted by multiplying it by an appropriate correction factor to gradually approximate the value of π. This correction factor can be found through iterative iteration until the figure reaches a closed state.

[0165] Step 105: Determine the target transition curve by using the preset transition curve equation and the variation law of the cross-sectional area along the process.

[0166] The target transition curves include: a first fifth-order polynomial representing the first transition curvature from the inlet section to the intermediate friction section, and a second fifth-order polynomial representing the second transition curvature from the intermediate friction section to the cashew-shaped outlet section.

[0167] Steps 105 to 107 describe the friction-cross-sectional area scaling process. When designing curved pipes, the change in cross-sectional area along the friction path is a critical factor, affecting not only fluid dynamics but also structural stability and efficiency. Using a fifth-order polynomial as the transition curve is an effective method for precisely controlling this change. The following is a detailed explanation of this process, including how to define the transition curve, calculate the cross-sectional area, and make necessary area ratio adjustments.

[0168] In actual implementation, the process of determining the target transition curve can be as follows:

[0169] (1) Determine the preset transition curve equation:

[0170] The change in cross-sectional area along the friction section of a curved pipe is divided into two parts: from the inlet section to the intermediate section, and from the intermediate section to the outlet section. The change in cross-sectional area along the friction section of the curved pipe follows a transitional pattern based on a fifth-order polynomial curve. By changing the coefficients of the fifth-order polynomial, the rate of change in cross-sectional area can be adjusted.

[0171] Transition curvature from inlet section to intermediate section:

[0172] Transition curvature from intermediate section to exit section: y2=

[0173] The distance between two adjacent sections is denoted as x (in the determination coefficient section); a1, b1, c1, d1, e1, a2, b2, c2, d2, and e2 are control parameters.

[0174] (2) Determining coefficients:

[0175] To determine the patterns of urgent followed by less urgent, less urgent followed by urgent, or equally urgent and less urgent, the calculation formula above needs to be simplified. We can observe its derivative, because the derivative represents the slope of the function (i.e., the steepness of the curve). The "steepness" or "gentleness" of a curve can be measured by the absolute value of its derivative: a large value means steep, and a small value means gentle. To make a curve "steep at first and then gentle," we need the derivative to decrease from a large value to a small value. Conversely, to make a curve "gentle at first and then steep," we need the derivative to increase from a small value to a large value. A curve with "equal steepness and gentleness" will have several places where the absolute values ​​of the derivative are approximately equal.

[0176] The transformation of the fifth-degree polynomial is as follows:

[0177] First derivative

[0178] Second derivative

[0179] The steepness of a curve can be analyzed by observing the sign of its second derivative. Specifically...

[0180] When y'' > 0, the first derivative y' increases, which means that the rate of change of the function y is increasing, i.e., the function is accelerating.

[0181] When y'' < 0, the first derivative y' is decreasing, which means that the rate of change of the function y is decreasing, that is, the function is decelerating.

[0182] To address the scenario of initial rapid growth followed by a gradual slowdown, we can try making the coefficients of higher-order terms larger than those of lower-order terms. This way, when x is small, the higher-order terms have a greater impact on the function value, resulting in a steeper curve; as x increases, the influence of the lower-order terms gradually becomes apparent, and the curve becomes flatter. Choosing a, b, c, d, and e as 0.4, 0.3, 0.2, 0.08, and 0.02 respectively, we can see that the second derivative gradually changes from positive to negative, indicating that the function initially accelerates and then begins to decelerate.

[0183] For situations involving a "slow start followed by a rapid finish," the second derivative needs to change from negative to positive. For example, if a < 0 and other coefficients cause y'' to change from negative to positive, the effect of deceleration followed by acceleration can be achieved. This is because when a < 0, as x increases... The term will also govern the sign change of y'', but in the opposite direction. Choose a set of parameters -0.4, -0.3, 0.2, 0.08, 0.02, and check if they produce the expected effect. From Figure 8-10 We can see that the second derivative gradually changes from a negative value to a positive value, indicating that the function initially decelerates during growth and then accelerates during growth.

[0184] Finally, regarding the case of "equal urgency," this typically occurs when the second derivative is close to zero or fluctuates little within a certain interval. For example, if a is close to zero, then higher-order terms contribute less to y'', and other terms, such as... , , This will dominate the change of y'', making its change relatively gradual. Let's choose a set of coefficients: 0.01, 0.01, 0.2, 0.4, 0.4, to make the absolute value of the first derivative as consistent as possible across the entire interval. From Figure 8-10 It can be seen that the second derivative is close to a constant throughout the entire interval, which indicates that the rate of change of the function remains basically consistent, without significant acceleration or deceleration.

[0185] Step 106: Based on the target transition curve, the first area of ​​the inlet section, the second area of ​​the outlet section, and the third area of ​​the intermediate friction section, calculate the fourth area of ​​each friction section.

[0186] The formula for calculating the area from the inlet section to the intermediate section is as follows:

[0187]

[0188] Calculation of the area from the intermediate section to the outlet section:

[0189]

[0190] A in A is the area of ​​the inlet cross-section of the bent pipe; m A is the area of ​​the cross-section along the middle of the bent pipe; out Let A be the area of ​​the cross-section at the outlet of the curved pipe. Based on the selected cross-sectional area variation curve, calculate the cross-sectional area A, i.e., the fourth area, of the curved pipe at the friction section.

[0191] Step 107: Adjust the fourth area of ​​each friction section using preset rules to determine the friction section after area adjustment.

[0192] In one optional embodiment, the fourth area of ​​each friction section is adjusted using preset rules, and the method for determining each friction section after area adjustment may include the following sub-steps:

[0193] Sub-step 1: For each friction section, divide the friction section into multiple triangles.

[0194] In this configuration, the vertex of each triangle is located at the center point of the friction section, and the other two sides are set along the outline of the friction section.

[0195] Sub-step 2: Add up the faces of all triangles along the cross section to obtain the fifth area;

[0196] Profile coordinate discretization: Using the recursive method from the previous step, the profile coordinates of the j-th transition section (i.e., the friction section) are obtained. To calculate the area Aj,now of this section, the closed shape needs to be discretized into multiple small triangles, and then the triangle faces are accumulated. One vertex of each small triangle is located at the center point of the section, and the other two sides are along the profile of the section, forming a small triangle with the chord length as its base. For each triangle, its area can be calculated using Heron's formula or a direct geometric method. By accumulating the faces of all these small triangles, the total area Aj,now of the section can be obtained. A schematic diagram of the triangle area accumulation is shown below. Figure 11 As shown.

[0197] Sub-step 3: Calculate the area ratio of the fourth area to the fifth area of ​​the friction section;

[0198] By comparing the cross-sectional area Aj predicted by the transition curve with the actual area Aj calculated through graphical discretization, we can obtain the area ratio ARj. The specific calculation formula is as follows:

[0199]

[0200] Sub-step 4: Adjust the target transition curve of the friction section according to the area ratio, and calculate the adjusted area of ​​the friction section according to the adjusted target transition curve.

[0201] This step involves adjusting and optimizing the cross-sectional area along the friction path: If ARj deviates significantly from 1, it indicates a difference between the theoretical and actual areas. This could be due to inaccuracies in the transition curve or approximation errors during the discretization process. In this case, consider adjusting the coefficients of the fifth-order polynomial and recalculating the target transition curve used for calculating the friction path area until ARj approaches 1, ensuring consistency between the theoretical and actual cross-sectional areas.

[0202] Step 108: Design the centerline offset to ensure a smooth and continuous transition along the centerline between the inlet section, each friction section, and the outlet section.

[0203] This step involves centerline offset design, as shown in the schematic diagram along the centerline offset. Figure 12 As shown. Specifically, it includes the following parts:

[0204] Part 1: Determining the Equation of the Centerline Curve

[0205] (1) Selection of curve equation

[0206] The centerline is a complex quadratic curve, and the expression for the curve is:

[0207] Here, x and y are the horizontal and vertical coordinates in the spatial coordinate system, respectively, while b, c, d, and e are coefficients to be determined.

[0208] (2) Boundary conditions:

[0209] The inlet and outlet points of the pipeline must lie on this curve. Let the coordinates of these two points be (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) respectively, then we can obtain two equations:

[0210]

[0211]

[0212] (3) Tangential condition

[0213] Furthermore, the directions of the pipeline inlet and outlet provide additional constraints. The angle between the inlet and the horizontal direction is 4 degrees, meaning the slope of the curve at the inlet is tan(4), and the angle between the outlet and the horizontal direction is 60 degrees, so the slope should be tan(60). Therefore, we can write the derivative equations of the curve at the inlet and outlet:

[0214]

[0215]

[0216] Where y'(x) represents the derivative of the curve at point x, that is, the slope of the curve.

[0217] Part Two: Solving for Curve Parameters

[0218] Solving the system of equations: The four equations in the first part are two boundary condition equations and two tangential condition equations. By solving the system of equations simultaneously and using Gaussian elimination, the values ​​of b, c, d, and e can be obtained, thus determining the specific shape of the centerline.

[0219] Part Three: Section Position Adjustment

[0220] Translation operation: The starting point of each intermediate section needs to be translated to the selected centerline. This means that for each section, the distance from its starting point to the centerline needs to be calculated, and then the entire section needs to be moved the corresponding distance in that direction to ensure that the starting point falls exactly on the centerline.

[0221] Rotation Operation: Next, based on the slope of the centerline at each starting point, rotate the cross-section so that it is perpendicular to the centerline. If the slope is m, the rotation angle α can be calculated using α = arctan(m). If the design requires maintaining a certain angle θ between the cross-section and the tangent direction of the centerline, the actual rotation angle should be α + θ or α − θ, depending on the sign of θ.

[0222] After translation and rotation adjustments, the position and orientation of all sections need to be checked again to ensure they meet design requirements, including their relationship to the centerline and the continuity and smooth transition between adjacent sections.

[0223] After completing the parametric calculations for the main duct, the center-through-pipe design is performed, ultimately generating the aircraft engine nozzle after the center-through-pipe. A schematic diagram of the parametric waist-shaped cross-section layout of the main duct is shown below. Figure 13 As shown.

[0224] Step 109: Based on the center coordinates of the inlet section, the preset radius and the stretching length, a cylinder is established to generate the aircraft engine nozzle after the center tube is inserted.

[0225] In actual implementation, the coordinates of the center of the inlet section are obtained, the radius is set, the stretching length is specified, a cylinder is constructed, and then Boolean operations are performed to obtain the result. Figure 14 The solid model shown is the generated central tube after the tube is inserted.

The geometric profiles of each friction section are determined; the target transition curve is determined using a preset transition curve equation and the area variation law of each friction section; based on the target transition curve, the first area of ​​the inlet section, the second area of ​​the outlet section, and the third area of ​​the intermediate friction section, the fourth area of ​​each friction section is calculated; the fourth area of ​​each friction section is adjusted using preset rules to determine the friction sections with area adjustment; a centerline offset is designed to ensure a continuous and smooth transition along the centerline for the inlet section, each friction section, and the outlet section; a cylinder is established based on the center coordinates of the inlet section, a preset radius, and an extension length to generate the aircraft engine nozzle after the center tube is inserted.
