Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a rotor wind tunnel testing method based on distributed jet active flow control, belonging to the field of aerodynamic wind tunnel testing technology. Background Technology
[0002] Helicopters, with their superior performance in vertical takeoff and landing, hovering, and low-altitude, low-speed flight, play an irreplaceable role and have broad application prospects in both military and civilian fields. The rotor's motion is highly complex, encompassing not only its own rotational motion and the overall motion of the helicopter, but also the flapping, flaring, and torsional motions of each blade. This results in a rotor flow field exhibiting severe asymmetric, nonlinear, and unsteady characteristics, leading to unique and complex aerodynamic problems. During forward flight, the retreating blades of the rotor experience airflow separation due to excessive angle of attack, causing stall and limiting the helicopter's speed. Distributed jet rotor active flow control technology, as a novel flow control technique, can deflect the separated airflow towards the blade surface, restoring rotor lift and further improving the rotor's aerodynamic characteristics.
[0003] Rotor wind tunnel testing is an important method for studying the application of distributed jet active flow control technology to rotors. Compared with flight testing, wind tunnel testing has the advantages of stable test conditions, low cost, controllable and repeatable test states, making it an ideal way to explore distributed jet active flow control technology. However, at present, a systematic and effective wind tunnel testing method has not yet been developed for rotor wind tunnel testing based on distributed jet active flow control. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention:
[0006] A rotor wind tunnel testing method based on distributed jet active flow control includes the following steps:
[0007] S1. Rotor test bench dynamic characteristic test, obtain the modal frequencies of each order of the rotor test bench at the center of the rotor hub;
[0008] S2. Rotor control matrix calibration: Construct the conversion relationship between the blade angle of the distributed jet rotor and the rotor control actuator to realize real-time control of the blade pitch angle during blade rotation.
[0009] S3. Dynamic balance adjustment of the distributed jet rotor model: control the distributed jet rotor model to perform dynamic balance adjustment at the working speed until the dynamic balance requirements are met.
[0010] S4. Cone adjustment of distributed jet rotor model: Control the distributed jet rotor model to adjust the cone at the working speed until the cone requirement is met;
[0011] S5. For the rotor test bench and distributed jet rotor model that meet the requirements, conduct distributed jet active flow control hovering wind tunnel test in the test wind tunnel and collect test data. Process the test data and analyze the aerodynamic performance of the distributed jet rotor under hovering working state with and without jet active flow control.
[0012] S6. For the rotor test bench and distributed jet rotor model that meet the requirements, conduct a forward flight wind tunnel test of distributed jet active flow control in the test wind tunnel and collect test data. Process the test data and analyze the aerodynamic performance of the distributed jet rotor under forward flight working conditions with and without jet active flow control.
[0013] Specifically, in step S1, the vibration testing equipment is used to identify the longitudinal and transverse modal frequencies of the rotor test bench at the center of the rotor hub. By adjusting the stiffness device of the rotor test bench, it is ensured that the rotor test bench does not resonate at the operating speed of the distributed jet rotor.
[0014] Specifically, in step S2, the blade pitch angle of the distributed jet rotor is a function of the collective pitch, the periodic pitch, and the blade azimuth angle. By establishing the conversion relationship between the blade pitch angle and the rotor control actuator displacement, a control matrix is constructed to achieve closed-loop control of the blade pitch angle of the distributed jet rotor.
[0015] Specifically, the construction of the control matrix in step S2 includes: moving the rotor control actuator to the target position, measuring the blade pitch angle at different azimuth angles using an angle sensor, and constructing a rotor control matrix based on multiple sets of rotor control actuator displacement and corresponding blade pitch angle data.
[0016] Specifically, the dynamic balance adjustment in step S3 is as follows: after the distributed jet rotor model is installed, the total pitch, longitudinal periodic pitch, and lateral periodic pitch of the distributed jet rotor are controlled to be 0°, and the dynamic balance value of the distributed jet rotor at the working speed is ensured to be less than 0.2IPS by increasing or decreasing the counterweight of the rotor hub arm.
[0017] Specifically, the common conicity adjustment in step S4 is as follows: after the distributed jet rotor model is installed, the total pitch, longitudinal periodic pitch, and lateral periodic pitch of the distributed jet rotor are controlled to be 0°. The height difference between the blades of the distributed jet rotor is less than half the blade thickness at the working speed by finely adjusting the length of the pitch control rod.
[0018] Specifically, in step S5, the distributed jet active flow control hovering wind tunnel test includes the following steps:
[0019] S51. After completing the preparatory work in steps S1, S2, S3, and S4 on the rotor test bench, confirm that each system is in normal condition.
[0020] S52. Keep the main shaft tilt angle of the rotor test bench at 0° and collect the zero reading as the initial reading;
[0021] S53. After starting the distributed jet rotor to the working speed and stabilizing, increase the collective pitch of the distributed jet rotor in steps until the distributed jet rotor tension or tension coefficient is observed to decrease. Perform active flow control of the distributed jet at each collective pitch state, and collect test data with and without jet control respectively. During this period, monitor the balance and vibration parameters in real time to ensure that the parameters are less than the safety threshold.
[0022] S54. After data acquisition is completed, control the rotor collective pitch to 2° and stop the rotor test bench.
[0023] S55. Process the test data collected in step S53 and analyze the aerodynamic performance of the distributed jet rotor under hovering working state with and without active jet flow control.
[0024] Specifically, in step S53, the test data is collected using an azimuth angle synchronous external triggering method, collecting raw data of the distributed jet rotor for a preset number of revolutions, and collecting a preset number of sampling points per revolution; the data processing in step S55 includes multi-revolution averaging and frequency domain transformation of the raw data, and the aerodynamic performance analysis includes the variation law of the distributed jet rotor thrust or thrust coefficient with the collective pitch under and without jet control.
[0025] Specifically, in step S6, the distributed jet active flow control pre-flight wind tunnel test includes the following steps:
[0026] S61. After completing the preparation work of S1, S2, S3 and S4 on the rotor test bench, confirm that the status of each system is normal.
[0027] S62. Collect the initial readings of each main shaft tilt angle of the rotor test bench, and deduct the influence of the self-weight of the part above the balance.
[0028] S63. Adjust the collective pitch of the distributed jet rotor to 2° and start the distributed jet rotor to the operating speed;
[0029] S64. Start the test wind tunnel to the required wind speed. During the wind speed adjustment process, control the rotor control system and main shaft tilting system in real time to complete the forward flight trim of the distributed jet rotor, so that the thrust coefficient of the distributed jet rotor is trimmed to the test value. After the state stabilizes, collect test data under non-controlled conditions.
[0030] S65. Activate the active flow control of the jet and collect test data under control conditions after the state stabilizes.
[0031] S66. Adjust the test wind speed in the test wind tunnel, and repeat steps S64 to S65 until all test wind speed states are completed.
[0032] S67. Adjust the tension coefficient and repeat steps S63 to S66 until all tension coefficient states are completed.
[0033] S68. Control the wind tunnel to stop, and at the same time control the rotor control system to keep the rotor thrust, pitch moment and roll moment within a safe range. When the wind speed is lower than the preset safe wind speed threshold, adjust the rotor collective pitch, cyclic pitch and main shaft tilt angle to a safe zero state, and then control the rotor test bench to stop.
[0034] S69. Process the test data collected in S64~S67 and analyze the aerodynamic performance of the distributed jet rotor under forward flight conditions with and without active jet flow control.
[0035] Specifically, in step S64, the forward flight trim is performed by manipulating the collective pitch of the distributed jet rotor to adjust the thrust coefficient to the experimental value, and the pitch and roll moments of the distributed jet rotor are brought to zero or kept at a preset low value by adjusting the longitudinal and lateral periodic pitch. In steps S64 and S65, the experimental data is collected using an azimuth-synchronized external triggering method, collecting the raw data of the distributed jet rotor for a preset number of revolutions, and collecting a preset number of sampling points per revolution. In step S68, during the wind tunnel shutdown process, the pitch and roll moments of the distributed jet rotor are controlled to remain within a safe threshold. The data processing in step S69 includes multi-revolution averaging and frequency domain transformation of the raw data, and the aerodynamic performance analysis includes the variation law of the lift-to-drag ratio of the distributed jet rotor with and without jet control as a function of the forward ratio.
