TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the field of aircraft motion modeling, and particularly relates to a ground effect aircraft motion modeling method in a three-dimensional random sea wave environment. BACKGROUND
[0002] The ground effect aircraft is also called ground effect wing ship or wing boat, and is a low-altitude carrier tool flying near the ground or water surface, utilizing the ground effect to improve the wing surface lift and reduce the induced drag, so as to realize the optimization of flight performance. In the marine environment, the ground effect aircraft faces complex three-dimensional random sea wave disturbance, which not only causes the vertical and horizontal position changes of the aircraft, but also may cause the attitude changes of the aircraft, thereby affecting the stability of the flight control system and the flight performance. Therefore, how to accurately simulate and predict the motion behavior of the ground effect aircraft in the complex sea wave environment is a key problem to be solved in the design, performance evaluation and control strategy optimization of the ground effect aircraft. In the existing technology, the motion modeling method of the ground effect aircraft mainly depends on a simplified two-dimensional sea wave model or a steady aerodynamic analysis based on the static sea surface wave characteristics. These methods fail to fully consider the three-dimensional randomness of the sea wave in the actual marine environment and the complex coupling relationship between the wave and the aerodynamic effect. Therefore, under the condition of the variable and irregular sea wave, the flight dynamics of the aircraft cannot be accurately predicted by using the traditional modeling method, and especially in the nonlinear disturbance and extreme sea conditions, the prediction result of the flight performance may have a large deviation.
[0003] In order to more accurately describe the dynamic response of the ground effect aircraft in the complex sea wave environment, some researches begin to try to use more complex three-dimensional random sea wave models. These models can more realistically reproduce the randomness, time-varying nature and spatial correlation of wave propagation of the sea wave. However, most of the current research results are concentrated on the separate application of sea wave modeling or aerodynamic modeling, and lack of comprehensive methods for coupling analysis of sea wave and aerodynamic effect. This makes it difficult to meet the requirements of accuracy and computational efficiency at the same time in the actual application based on the motion model of the ground effect aircraft in the existing technology. In view of the above background, the existing technology fails to provide a comprehensive, accurate and efficient ground effect aircraft motion modeling method in a three-dimensional random sea wave environment, especially in the simulation of the coupling of sea wave and aerodynamic effect and nonlinear dynamic response. With the increasing application demand of the ground effect aircraft in the complex sea conditions, a new technical scheme is urgently needed to solve the problems of sea wave modeling, aerodynamic modeling and coupling effect, so as to provide more accurate and reliable technical support for the design, flight control and sea task execution of the ground effect aircraft.

[0024] This invention relates to a method for modeling the motion of ground effect aircraft in a three-dimensional random ocean wave environment. More specifically, it is a method for modeling the motion of ground effect aircraft that couples ocean waves with aerodynamic effects and considers random wind and wave disturbances, based on the results of two-dimensional wave floor and boundary layer controlled wind tunnel tests.
[0025] To ensure the flight stability and safety of ground effect aircraft in complex sea conditions, this invention designs a ground effect aircraft motion modeling method that can reflect ocean waves, aerodynamic characteristics, boundary layer control and their interactions.
[0026] like Figure 1This invention discloses a method for modeling the motion of a ground effect aircraft (GEA) in a three-dimensional random ocean wave environment. First, a wind and wave environment model is established using an ocean wave model based on the wave spectrum and a classical atmospheric disturbance model. Second, an aerodynamic model of the GEA under wave conditions is established based on the results of active wave floor tests. Then, an aerodynamic model of the GEA with boundary layer control is established based on wind tunnel tests of the GEA with boundary layer control. Third, a full motion model of the GEA under a three-dimensional random ocean wave environment is established based on the GEA's dynamic equations, aerodynamic model, water surface force model, and boundary layer blowing model. Finally, small-disturbance linearization is performed on the full model to obtain a linearized motion model of the GEA considering atmospheric and wave disturbances. This invention solves the technical problem of establishing a motion model of a GEA under a three-dimensional random ocean wave environment, laying the foundation for the study of the motion characteristics of GEAs under wind and wave disturbances and the design of flight control laws.
[0027] The specific steps of the ground effect aircraft motion modeling method under a three-dimensional random ocean wave environment are as follows: (1) Establishment of wind and wave environment model The wave environment model consists of a wave model and a wind field model. This invention uses the Longuet-Higgins model based on the PM wave spectrum to establish a stochastic wave model. The Longuet-Higgins model, by superimposing multiple waveforms, can simulate complex wave environments and accurately reflect the spatiotemporal characteristics of waves. The choice of wave spectrum gives the wave model high computational efficiency, meeting the real-time requirements of simulation calculations.
[0028] The wind field model employs the classic atmospheric disturbance model—the Von Karman atmospheric turbulence model—to simulate the stability and flight control of ground effect aircraft in atmospheric disturbance environments. The model reflects the randomness and persistence of airflow, ensuring that the impact of wind randomness on aircraft flight quality is fully considered during sea-level flight.
[0029] (2) Aerodynamic modeling based on wind tunnel test of active wave floor The aerodynamic characteristics of ground effect vehicles (GEVs) need to consider the influence of wave surfaces and flight attitude. This invention studies the aerodynamic characteristics of GEVs in a wave environment using data from wind tunnel tests with an active wave floor. The active wave floor wind tunnel test, by simulating the relative motion of the aircraft in waves, reveals the influence of wave height and rate of change of height on aerodynamic parameters such as lift, drag, and torque of the GEV. Based on the results of the active wave floor wind tunnel test, this invention establishes an aerodynamic model of a GEV that considers the influence of wind and waves on aerodynamic parameters.
[0030] (3) Aerodynamic modeling based on wind tunnel test with boundary layer The boundary layer control system optimizes the aerodynamic characteristics of ground effect aircraft during low-speed water surface takeoff and landing through blown flap technology, increasing lift and improving maneuverability. Based on the influence of different flap blow volumes on lift and drag, this invention proposes an aerodynamic modeling method for ground effect aircraft with boundary layer control.
[0031] (4) Modeling of the full motion of ground effect aircraft The proposed method for establishing a full-scale motion model takes into account factors such as the aircraft's six degrees of freedom motion, aerodynamic characteristics, the influence of the boundary layer control system, and water surface forces. This model can realistically reflect the flight state of ground effect aircraft in complex wave and wind field environments, and is suitable for flight simulation and mission planning.
[0032] (5) Linearized motion modeling of ground effect aircraft Linearized motion models are suitable for small-disturbance analysis and are mainly used to analyze the handling and stability characteristics and flight control design of ground effect aircraft. This invention derives linearized models for the longitudinal and lateral directions by linearizing the six-degree-of-freedom motion equations of a ground effect aircraft. By considering the effects of atmospheric and wave disturbances in the linearized models, this invention can reflect the motion characteristics of ground effect aircraft under small-disturbance conditions.
[0033] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0034] (1) Establishment of wind and wave environment model The wave model used in this invention is the Longuet-Higgins model. This model simulates random waves by linearly superimposing waveform functions based on the wave spectrum, thus representing waves as a superposition of a finite number of regular waves with different wavelengths and amplitudes. The Longuet-Higgins model treats waves as a height field, making it suitable for studying the impact of wave height variations on the aerodynamic characteristics of ground-effect aircraft. The three-dimensional form of the Longuet-Higgins wave model can be represented as follows: (1) h w This refers to the height of the ocean waves.
[0035] a ij Indicates the ( i , j The amplitude of the second harmonic.
[0036] k i This represents the wave number of the i-th harmonic.
[0037] q j Indicates the first j Direction angle of the subharmonic.
[0038] w i Indicates the first i The angular frequency of the subharmonic.
[0039] p ij Indicates the ( i , j The initial phase of the second harmonic.
[0040] x e , y e These are the coordinates in the sea surface coordinate system corresponding to the direction of the coastal waves.
[0041] in, p ij The phase can be randomly distributed within the period (0, 2π); k i Based on the relation Sure, g It is the acceleration due to gravity; a ij It can be obtained using the wave spectrum method. w i It is obtained by discretizing the wave frequency band. q j Through ~ It is obtained by discretization within the range.
[0042] The wave spectrum used in this invention is the PM spectrum (Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum), which is defined as: (2) U w The wind speed is at a height of 19.5m above sea level.
[0043] g is the acceleration due to gravity.
[0044] w Harmonic angular frequency, direction angle q .
[0045] .
[0046] .
[0047] According to the PM spectrum, the energy of ocean waves is concentrated within a narrow frequency range, approximately 0.25–4 rad / s; the influence of waves at other frequencies is negligible. w HAs the highest frequency in the wave frequency band. w L To be the lowest frequency, let w H = 4 rad / s, w L = 0.25 rad / s. Divide the frequencies within this band into... M Divided into equal parts, the corresponding frequency band width is . w i It can be defined as: (3) Direction angle q exist ~ The angles within the range are evenly distributed and divided into... N Divide into equal parts, each part corresponding to an angular width of... . q j It can be represented as: (4) According to the PM spectrum, ( w i , q j The corresponding amplitude can be expressed as: (5) w i Indicates the first i The angular frequency of the subharmonic.
[0048] q j Indicates the first j Direction angle of the subharmonic.
[0049] This indicates the bandwidth of each frequency band.
[0050] This indicates the width of each angle.
[0051] In summary, a Longuet-Higgins stochastic wave model based on the PM spectrum can be obtained.
[0052] The motion modeling, flight control design, and simulation research of ground effect aircraft mainly involves two types of wind field requirements: one is to examine the stability of ground effect aircraft in atmospheric disturbance environments and the performance of flight control systems, and the other is to examine the controllability and flight safety of ground effect aircraft when performing flight missions under adverse atmospheric conditions, such as water surface take-off and landing missions in crosswinds.
[0053] The wind field model used to examine the stability and flight control system performance of ground effect aircraft should possess characteristics such as persistence and stochasticity. An atmospheric turbulence model is suitable. Atmospheric turbulence models are typically established based on assumptions of stationarity and homogeneity, isotropy, Gaussian distribution, and a frozen field, utilizing stochastic processes and the spectral function of atmospheric turbulence to generate the turbulent field. The atmospheric turbulence model used in this invention is the Von Karman model, which uses three-dimensional bounded white noise (… n 1, n 2, n 3) Input a three-axis shaping filter based on the Von Karman spectrum to obtain the velocity components of atmospheric turbulence in the three axes in the sea surface coordinate system. u w , v w , w w ),like Figure 2 As shown. The intensity of atmospheric turbulence can be expressed using the root mean square error. s w 2 express, s w 2 It is mainly related to the average wind field intensity within the turbulent field and the altitude of the turbulent field. For the specific form of the Von Karman atmospheric turbulence model, please refer to the national military standards.
[0054] (2) Aerodynamic modeling based on wind tunnel test of active wave floor like Figure 3 The aerodynamic model of the ground effect aircraft in a wave environment is mainly established based on the results of wind tunnel tests on an active wave floor. Considering that the wave model used in the active wave floor test is a two-dimensional simple harmonic wave, in order to study the aerodynamic characteristics of the ground effect aircraft in a three-dimensional ocean wave environment, it is also necessary to consider the influence of factors such as asymmetric ocean waves and the flight attitude of the ground effect aircraft.
[0055] Based on the results of the active wave floor test, the lift coefficient of ground effect aircraft... C L It can be represented as: (6) This represents the baseline lift coefficient at a fixed floor height.
[0056] This indicates the change in the altitude of the aircraft model.
[0057] This indicates the change in wave height.
[0058] This represents the change in the rate of change of wave height.
[0059] This represents the derivative of the lift coefficient with respect to the model height.
[0060] This represents the derivative of the lift coefficient with respect to wave height.
[0061] This represents the derivative of the lift coefficient with respect to the rate of change of wave height.
[0062] In the active wave floor test, the aerodynamic characteristics of the aircraft model exhibited regular periodic changes. The calculation can be performed using a fixed floor height. In the cycle T Average value within: (7) This represents the lift coefficient.
[0063] T represents the period.
[0064] It represents the average value of the lift coefficient at a fixed floor height over a period of time.
[0065] and The calculation method is the same, but the values are reversed. At a fixed floor height, the wave height... Periodic changes The impact is relatively small, therefore and The calculation is primarily based on the average value of test results at different floor installation heights. First, the calculations for different floor heights are performed. , , …corresponding , respectively represented as , , …。 Then through the Interpolation was performed to obtain the derivative of the lift coefficient with respect to the model height at different heights. and the derivative of the lift coefficient with respect to wave height : (8) This represents the m-th floor height from the test results.
[0066] This represents the nth floor height from the test results.
[0067] This represents the average lift coefficient over one cycle at the m-th floor height.
[0068] This represents the average lift coefficient over one cycle at the nth floor height.
[0069] The calculation can be performed using curve fitting. At a fixed floor height, Wave phase p The periodic variation basically conforms to the characteristics of a simple harmonic function. For calculation... A simple harmonic function needs to be used. The experimental data are fitted. The fitting function can take the following form: (9) This represents the average lift coefficient over one cycle.
[0070] The amplitude of the lift coefficient function.
[0071] This represents the initial phase of the lift coefficient function.
[0072] Due to the fixed floor height and right The impact is relatively small and can be approximated as... , From formulas 8 and 9, we can obtain: (10) This represents the derivative of the lift coefficient with respect to wave height.
[0073] This represents the change in the rate of change of wave height.
[0074] The amplitude of the lift coefficient function.
[0075] This represents the initial phase of the lift coefficient function.
[0076] Under different experimental conditions, Initial phase of the fitting result All are relatively small (not exceeding 25°), considering The change is a simple sine form. For ease of calculation, we can Initial phase of the fitting function Approximately 0. Ultimately, The calculation can be simplified to: (11) The amplitude of the lift coefficient function.
[0077] The amplitude is the amplitude of the high rate of change.
[0078] according to , , and The calculation results can be used to establish the lift coefficient of ground effect aircraft in wave environments. Aerodynamic model.
[0079] For aerodynamic parameters that are significantly affected by wave phase, such as drag coefficient Pitch moment coefficient Elevator control efficiency The same modeling method as the lift coefficient can be used for the following: take the average value of the full-cycle test results as the benchmark value, differentiate the full-cycle average value at different altitudes to obtain the derivative with respect to flight altitude and wave altitude, and perform curve fitting on the test results at different altitudes to obtain the derivative with respect to the rate of change of wave altitude.
[0080] For aerodynamic parameters that are not significantly affected by wave phase, such as the lateral heading coefficient, the corresponding reference parameters under different test conditions (such as relative height of the floor, aerodynamic angle, dynamic coefficient, etc.) can be obtained directly from the full-cycle average value of the test results. Then, the derivatives of the aerodynamic parameters with respect to flight state variables such as flight altitude, aerodynamic angle, and dynamic coefficient can be obtained by differentiation.
[0081] It is important to note that the active wave floor test used symmetrical waves, and the main state variables examined were the ground effect aircraft configuration, power configuration, control surfaces, and aerodynamic angles. The impact of asymmetrical three-dimensional random waves and flight attitude on the aerodynamic characteristics of the ground effect aircraft was not considered. In actual flight, asymmetrical waves on the left and right sides of the ground effect aircraft will generate additional aerodynamic forces and moments. Simultaneously, changes in aircraft attitude, especially roll attitude, will also affect its aerodynamic characteristics. Both asymmetrical waves and roll attitude angles will cause height differences between the left and right wings and the wave surface. The impact of the ground effect on the left and right wings differs, and the aerodynamic focus of the aircraft cannot be directly used as a reference point for aerodynamic characteristic calculations. Therefore, when calculating aerodynamic parameters significantly affected by the ground effect, such as the main longitudinal aerodynamic parameters, a method of calculating separately for the left and right wing focuses and then integrating them can be adopted. The aerodynamic models of the left and right wings are consistent in form with the full-aircraft aerodynamic model based on the test results, and the values of various aerodynamic derivatives in the wing models can be taken as half of those in the full-aircraft model.
[0082] The roll moment coefficient, a key aerodynamic parameter in the lateral direction, is also affected by asymmetric waves and roll attitude. The lift difference caused by the height difference between the left and right wings introduces an additional roll moment. Therefore, the roll moment coefficient... Cl It can be represented as: (12) This represents the average value of the rolling moment coefficient test data over the entire cycle.
[0083] The difference between the lift coefficients of the left and right wings can be obtained through the lift coefficient model of the left and right wings.
[0084] The distance between the aerodynamic focal points of the left and right wings.
[0085] This is for the wingspan of ground effect aircraft.
[0086] It is evident that the longitudinal aerodynamic parameters of a ground effect vehicle (GEV) are influenced by the lateral state variables, and vice versa. This is a direct manifestation of the coupling between the longitudinal and lateral aerodynamic characteristics of a GEV. In the study of GEV motion modeling and control design, it is crucial to pay attention to the coupling between its longitudinal and lateral aerodynamic characteristics and its motion characteristics.
[0087] Apart from the main longitudinal aerodynamic parameters and the rolling moment coefficient, the calculation of other aerodynamic parameters of ground effect aircraft can still be carried out using an aerodynamic model based on the full-cycle average value of the test results.
[0088] (3) Aerodynamic modeling based on wind tunnel test with boundary layer This invention, based on wind tunnel test results of ground effect aircraft with boundary layer control, proposes an aerodynamic modeling method for ground effect aircraft with boundary layer control. The boundary layer control system of the ground effect aircraft employs blown flap technology, where a high-speed airflow is ejected tangentially to the upper surface of the wing at the trailing edge flap via a blown air device, causing the boundary layer to adhere to the flap surface. Because the high-pressure jet increases the energy contained in the boundary layer, it enhances the boundary layer's ability to overcome adverse pressure gradients, thereby effectively delaying airflow separation and increasing wing lift.
[0089] The boundary layer control system using blown flaps mainly consists of the following parts: Power unit: Provides power to the boundary layer control system. It can utilize the surplus power of the key engine or use a separate dedicated blowing engine. Compressor: Powered by a power unit, it generates a high-pressure air jet through impeller pressurization; Air blowing duct: guides the high-speed jet generated by the compressor to air blowing parts such as flaps and tail fin control surfaces; Air jet slit: High-speed jets are ejected along the upper surface of the air jet slit to achieve boundary layer control of the air jet slit; Control system: Based on the instructions of the pilot or flight control law, it realizes the opening / closing of the boundary layer control system and the adjustment of the blowing volume, etc.
[0090] The boundary layer control system structure of ground effect aircraft, such as Figure 5 As shown. The power plant employs a dedicated blown air engine integrated within the fuselage and connected in series with the compressor. Blown air ducts transmit the airflow generated by the compressor to the flaps, elevators, and rudder, and blown air onto the wing surfaces via blown air nozzles. The total blown air volume for the flaps and control surfaces is limited by the blown air engine's power and must be allocated based on the impact of the blown air volume on aerodynamic characteristics. The boundary layer control system's on / off commands and blown air volume adjustments are primarily issued by the pilot based on the operational requirements during water surface takeoff and landing. The flight control law is responsible for auxiliary functions such as matching the wing surfaces with the blown air volume based on the pilot's commands.
[0091] Compared to aerodynamic modeling based on active wave floor wind tunnel tests, aerodynamic modeling based on boundary layer controlled wind tunnel tests does not require consideration of external disturbance variables such as wave environment, but it does require consideration of more aircraft-specific state variables. State variables in boundary layer controlled wind tunnel tests include variables present in active wave floor tests such as aerodynamic angles and dynamic coefficients, as well as variables unique to boundary layer controlled tests such as blown momentum coefficients and flap / aileron configurations. State variables in the tests can be divided into two categories: continuous variables, such as aerodynamic angles, dynamic coefficients, and blown momentum coefficients; and discontinuous variables, such as spoiler states, flap / aileron states, and single-engine failure states. Aerodynamic modeling requires different modeling methods for the changes in different types of state variables based on the aerodynamic parameters.
[0092] The general form of aerodynamic parameters in wind tunnel tests with boundary layer control can be expressed as: (14) These are aerodynamic parameters.
[0093] These are the baseline values for the aerodynamic parameters under the current conditions.
[0094] It represents the change in a continuous variable.
[0095] Aerodynamic parameters For continuous variables The derivative can be obtained through right Differentiating yields the result.
[0096] Let it be a non-continuous variable.
[0097] For variables Corresponding aerodynamic parameters Compared with the baseline state The difference.
[0098] The aerodynamic model of a ground effect aircraft based on a wind tunnel test with boundary layer can be established by using Equation (14).
[0099] (4) Establishment of the full motion model of ground effect aircraft The full motion model can reflect the longitudinal and lateral coupling characteristics of the aerodynamic properties of ground effect aircraft. The full motion model for water surface takeoff and landing controlled by boundary layer established in this invention consists of six-degree-of-freedom full dynamics and kinematic equations, an aerodynamic model, a water surface force model, and a boundary layer controlled blowing model.
[0100] First, a full motion model for controlling the rise and fall of the water surface with boundary layer is given, consisting of six-degree-of-freedom full dynamics and kinematic equations: The translational dynamics equations for water-based takeoff and landing with boundary layer control take into account the effects of hydrodynamics and are established under the aircraft body axis: (15) F w This refers to the forces exerted on an aircraft by the water surface when it is gliding on the water, including hydrodynamic forces and buoyancy.

[0177] It is important to note that wave height and rate of change of height in aerodynamic models cannot be directly calculated using results from stochastic wave models. If high-frequency waves are directly used... and Incorporating aerodynamic models can lead to significant errors in calculation results, failing to accurately reflect the motion characteristics of ground effect aircraft.

Through calculation This can transform rapidly fluctuating ocean waves into relatively uniformly changing waves, while essentially preserving the actual wave variation patterns, thus more accurately reflecting the impact of wave height on ground effect. Figure 4 .
[0179] (twenty four) Next, the method for establishing the water surface force model is given.
[0180] The surface forces acting on a ground effect aircraft during its water taxiing phase include buoyancy, hydrodynamic lift, hydrodynamic drag, hydrodynamic lateral forces, hydrodynamic impact force upon landing, hydrodynamic moment, and wave interference. The calculation of these surface forces can employ a semi-theoretical, semi-empirical engineering calculation method. Based on thin-wing theory and relevant theories of high-speed ship dynamics, a surface force model for the takeoff and landing process of a ground effect aircraft is established according to the force characteristics of the aircraft during its water taxiing phase.
[0181] The buoyancy of a ground effect aircraft during its water taxiing phase can be calculated using Archimedes' principle. During takeoff and landing, assuming that the density of water and the acceleration due to gravity remain constant, the calculation of buoyancy can be transformed into the calculation of the displacement volume: first, divide the fuselage along its length into multiple cross sections, then calculate the submerged area of each cross section, and finally integrate the area of the cross sections along the fuselage length to obtain the displacement volume, and thus the buoyancy experienced by the ground effect aircraft.
[0182] The hydrodynamic lift during the water taxiing phase can be simulated by abstracting the water-touch area of the ground effect aircraft fuselage as a taxiing plate, using a two-dimensional thin wing model. Hydrodynamic lift is related to dynamic pressure, the wetted area of the fuselage bottom, and the hydrodynamic lift coefficient, and its generation mechanism is similar to that of aerodynamic lift. The calculation formula for water dynamic pressure is basically the same as that for aerodynamic pressure. The calculation of the wetted area requires calculating parameters such as the average wetted length of the fuselage and the wetted aspect ratio based on the fuselage bottom configuration parameters and the aircraft attitude. The calculation of the hydrodynamic lift coefficient adopts the two-dimensional thin wing theory, and modifies the formula based on factors such as the influence of water viscosity on the lift line slope, the influence of lateral flow, and the angle of ascent at the aircraft bottom, combined with experimental data from the Central Aerodynamics and Hydrodynamics Research Institute of the Soviet Union. Finally, by combining the calculation results of water dynamic pressure, wetted area, and hydrodynamic lift, a hydrodynamic lift calculation model for the ground effect aircraft can be obtained.
[0183] Hydrodynamic drag during water taxiing includes frictional drag, viscous pressure drag, splash drag, and wave-making drag. Frictional drag is caused by the viscosity of water forming a boundary layer on the aircraft surface, resulting in viscous shear stress during taxiing. This frictional drag is related to the water viscosity, hull speed, hull length, wetted area, and coefficient of friction, and can be calculated using the formula for flat plate friction drag. Viscous pressure drag is caused by the viscosity of water consuming the kinetic energy of water particles, leading to an imbalance in water pressure before and after the aircraft's contact area; it is also known as form drag. Viscous pressure drag can be calculated using a three-dimensional transformation method, based on the proportional relationship between viscous pressure drag and frictional drag. Splash drag is the drag caused by water splashing during water taxiing, mainly related to the splash area and the splash drag coefficient. The splash area can be calculated based on the aircraft's dimensions and attitude, while the splash drag coefficient can be calculated based on the characteristic length of the splash area and the Reynolds number. Wave-making drag occurs because the aircraft generates waves as it glides on the water surface, causing changes in the pressure distribution on the aircraft's surface and creating a pressure difference between the bow and stern, thus generating drag. Wave-making drag can be calculated by referring to the wave-making drag data of a ship with a similar fuselage to the ground effect aircraft, and then estimating the wave-making drag of the ground effect aircraft based on that data.
[0184] The hydrodynamic lateral force is generated because the bottom of a ground effect aircraft has a lift angle. When the aircraft sideslips, a lateral force that opposes the aircraft's lateral movement is generated, which is the hydrodynamic lateral force. The hydrodynamic lateral force can be calculated based on the water pressure, the underwater projected area, and the lift angle.
[0185] Hydrodynamic impact force refers to the force generated when a ground effect aircraft lands on water and impacts the aircraft body. The magnitude of the hydrodynamic impact force is affected by factors such as the aircraft's weight and its distribution, the shape of the fuselage's bottom, the aircraft's pitch angle upon landing, and the landing speed. It can be calculated using the slice theory, which treats the landing impact force on the fuselage as the sum of the landing impact forces of countless wedge-shaped bodies. Through a series of assumptions and simplified calculations, a formula for calculating the hydrodynamic impact force is obtained.
[0186] Hydrodynamic torque comprises two parts: the torque directly generated by hydrodynamic forces and the hydrodynamic damping torque. The direct torque can be obtained by calculating the moments about the aircraft's center of gravity from buoyancy, hydrodynamic lift, hydrodynamic drag, hydrodynamic lateral forces, and hydrodynamic impact forces. The hydrodynamic damping torque is generated due to the aircraft's turning motion on the water surface and is mainly related to the aircraft's turning angular velocity and the three-axis hydrodynamic damping torque coefficients. The magnitude of the hydrodynamic damping torque can be obtained by calculating the aircraft's turning velocity and the hydrodynamic damping torque coefficients.
[0187] Ocean wave interference forces can generally be divided into two types: first-order wave interference forces, also known as high-frequency wave interference forces, are experienced by aircraft under the assumption that the waves are small-amplitude and cause minimal aircraft sway. These forces are linearly related to the wave height and have the same frequency as the waves, primarily causing pitch and heave motions, with relatively little impact on roll. Second-order wave forces, also known as wave drift forces, are proportional to the square of the wave height. This force is a nonlinear, low-frequency wave interference force that simultaneously alters the aircraft's heading and trajectory. Ground effect aircraft gliding on water are primarily subjected to first-order wave interference forces. The Froude-Krylov assumption can be used to calculate the distribution of water pressure on the aircraft's fuselage within the waves, and then the pressure changes caused by the waves can be integrated along the fuselage direction to obtain the wave interference force and torque.
[0188] Finally, a method for establishing a boundary layer controlled blowing model is presented.
[0189] Boundary layer control blowing model for ground effect aircraft, i.e., blowing momentum coefficient C μF , C μδe , C μδr Air volume control input d CμF , d Cμδ The response. Since the elevator and rudder share the same blowing pipe, the blowing volume control of both uses the same command. The boundary layer control blowing model consists of two parts: a power element consisting of a blowing engine and a compressor connected in series, and a transmission element consisting of a blowing pipe and a blowing nozzle, both of which can be simplified to first-order inertial elements. Therefore, the transfer function of the boundary layer control blowing model can be expressed as: (25) C μF0 , C μδe0 , C μδr0 The rated blowing momentum coefficient, C μF0 = 0.07, C μδe0 = 0.04, C μδr0 = 0.02.
[0190] t blow The time delay constant of the air blowing system's power component can be referenced from the engine's time delay characteristics. t blow = 2s.
[0191] t CμF The time delay constant for the flap air delivery process is mainly related to the airflow velocity and the length of the air delivery duct. Since the flap air delivery distance is relatively short, it can be taken as... t CμF = 1s.
[0192] t Cμδe The time constant for the air delivery process of the elevator is mainly related to the air delivery speed and the length of the air duct. The air delivery distances for the horizontal and vertical stabilizers are basically the same, so we can take [value missing]. t Cμδe = 2s.
[0193] t Cμδr The time constant for the rudder blow-through transmission process is given. The blow-through distances for the horizontal and vertical stabilizers are essentially the same, so we can take... t Cμδr = 2s.
[0194] d Cμδ This is the input for controlling the air volume of the elevator and rudder, limited to 0~1.
[0195] d CμF This is the input for controlling the air volume of the flaps, limited to 0~1.
[0196] (5) Establishment of linearized motion model for ground effect aircraft This invention establishes a linearized motion model for ground effect aircraft (GEA) based on classical flight mechanics theory and combined with a wind and wave environment model. The linearized motion model is obtained by linearizing the six-degree-of-freedom full motion equations under the assumption of small disturbances, including a longitudinal linear model and a lateral linear model. The linearized motion model can reflect the frequency domain motion characteristics of GEA and is mainly used in this paper for the analysis of GEA handling and stability characteristics and flight control design research.

[0212] , , The aerodynamic coefficient is the rate of change of wave height. The derivative of the aerodynamic coefficient with respect to wave height and flight altitude has an effect reflected in the wave disturbance matrix. Under the small disturbance assumption, the derivatives of the aerodynamic coefficient with respect to wave height and flight altitude are opposites. (Flight altitude change rate) The effect on the aerodynamic coefficient is already reflected in the derivative with respect to the angle of attack, so it does not need to be considered separately.
[0213] The lateral linear motion model of a ground effect aircraft in a windy and wavey environment is as follows: (28) For the state variables of the aircraft motion, it represents the changes in sideslip angle, roll angular velocity, yaw angular velocity, and roll attitude angle.
[0214] For manipulation variables, represent the changes in aileron deflection and rudder deflection; .

The effect is reflected in the lateral state matrix. and The impact is reflected in the wave disturbance matrix.
[0221] The linearized motion model for water surface takeoff and landing with boundary layer control is mainly for the state of ground effect aircraft flying close to the water surface for trim, so the influence of water surface forces can be ignored. In the modeling process, the relevant parameters of the boundary layer control system can be taken as fixed values, and the dynamic derivatives of the boundary layer control system parameters do not need to be considered. The form of the model is basically the same as that of equations (27) and (28).
[0222] In summary, the method of this invention constructs a wave environment model suitable for ground effect aircraft by combining the Longuet-Higgins wave model with the PM wave spectrum. In this model, wave characteristics are formed by waveform superposition to simulate a random wave environment. Furthermore, the influence of boundary layer control technology on the aerodynamic characteristics of ground effect aircraft is considered in the wind and wave environment. By considering the relationship between wave frequency and wind speed, this method ensures that the simulation results closely approximate the real wave environment.
[0223] The described wave environment model adopts a three-dimensional form of the Longuet-Higgins model. This model forms a wave height field by superimposing multiple harmonics, thereby describing the spatial and temporal variation characteristics of waves and simulating waves with different wavelengths and amplitudes. The model achieves simulation of complex wave environments by controlling the frequency range and azimuth angle distribution of the waves.
[0224] The aerodynamic model of a ground effect vehicle (GEV) in wind and wave environments utilizes data from wind tunnel tests on an active wave floor, including aerodynamic parameters such as the lift coefficient of the GEV considering the influence of wind and waves. This model can reflect the aerodynamic characteristics of the GEV under different wave and wind speed conditions by adjusting parameters such as the speed of the active wave floor, wave phase, and the relative altitude of the aircraft.
[0225] This model is used to simulate the motion of ground effect aircraft in random ocean wave environments. It combines the calculation of wind and wave environment, aerodynamic characteristics of ground effect aircraft and water surface forces, and considers the influence of boundary layer control technology on the water surface take-off and landing process of ground effect aircraft. It can calculate water surface forces through a semi-theoretical and semi-empirical method and can be applied to fields such as water surface take-off and landing, safety assessment and flight control design.
