Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of multi-segment airfoil analysis technology, specifically to a method for simulating and analyzing the aerodynamic noise of a multi-segment airfoil made of porous media materials. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, research on reducing trailing-edge noise by using porous media materials on airfoils has made some progress both domestically and internationally. This research primarily employs experimental methods or numerical simulations using simplified porous media step surface models, achieving noise reduction over a wide frequency range. It has been shown that locally applying porous media materials at the trailing edge can reduce aerodynamic noise at the airfoil's trailing edge while maintaining or minimizing aerodynamic performance loss. However, current research lacks in-depth investigation of airfoil aerodynamic noise and porous media with different permeabilities, making it impossible to analyze the noise reduction mechanism of porous media at different permeabilities.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design an aerodynamic noise simulation and analysis method for multi-segment airfoils made of porous media materials. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a method for simulating and analyzing the aerodynamic noise of a multi-segment airfoil made of porous media material.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A method for aerodynamic noise simulation and analysis of multi-segment airfoils made of porous media materials, comprising the following steps:

[0006] Step 1: Establish a multi-segment airfoil model and add porous media material to the multi-segment airfoil;

[0007] Step 2: Set the permeability of the porous media material and the operating conditions of the multi-segment airfoil;

[0008] Step 3: The LBM-LES algorithm is used to numerically calculate the flow field and sound field of the multi-segment airfoil model after using porous media material;

[0009] Step 4: Compare the changes in flow field and sound field of multi-segment airfoils under different permeabilities and operating conditions, and analyze the influence of porous media materials on the aerodynamic noise of multi-segment airfoils.

[0010] Furthermore, in step 1, the multi-segment airfoil model adopts a high-lift configuration, which includes slats, main wings, and flaps.

[0011] Furthermore, in step 1, the porous medium material is disposed at the slits of the multi-segment airfoil.

[0012] Furthermore, step 3 specifically includes:

[0013] Quadtree meshes were used to divide the computational domain of the multi-segment airfoil model.

[0014] By coupling the LBM algorithm with the LES algorithm, we obtain the LBM-LES algorithm.

[0015] The LBM-LES algorithm is used to perform numerical calculations on the computational domain.

[0016] Furthermore, the LBM algorithm is coupled with the LES algorithm to obtain the LBM-LES algorithm; specifically, this includes:

[0017] The Navier-Stokes equations were solved using the LBM algorithm to obtain the original solution;

[0018] Turbulence effects below the lattice scale are modeled using a sub-lattice model;

[0019] Spatial or temporal filtering operations are performed on the original solution to remove small-scale turbulent structures and leave large-scale vortices.

[0020] By using a subgrid model, eddy viscosity is incorporated into the calculation of small-scale eddies, while keeping the original equations unchanged.

[0021] The eddy viscosity obtained from the subgrid model is introduced into the LBM algorithm in the form of equivalent viscosity, and the coupling of the LBM algorithm and the LES algorithm is achieved by modifying the relaxation time.

[0022] Furthermore, the LBM algorithm is used to solve the Navier-Stokes equations to obtain the original solution; specifically, this includes:

[0023] The incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in the lattice Boltzmann method take the following form:

[0031] weighting coefficients This represents the weight of each velocity component. Corresponding to the discrete velocity direction:

[0033] The matrix M of the D2Q9-MRT model has the following specific form:

[0034] ;

[0035] The relaxation matrix is ​​a diagonal matrix, and its diagonal elements represent the relaxation factors of each velocity component. The specific form obtained through linearization analysis is as follows:

[0041] The volumetric viscosity needs to be increased for noise calculations. The relationship between it and the relaxation factor is as follows:

[0044] Furthermore, the eddy viscosity obtained from the subgrid model is introduced into the LBM algorithm in the form of equivalent viscosity, and the coupling between the LBM and LES algorithms is achieved by modifying the relaxation time; specifically including:

[0045] Eddy viscosity can be expressed as:

[0049] ;

[0050] At each time step, the equivalent viscosity and relaxation time are dynamically updated based on the instantaneous velocity field.

[0051] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention, compared with the prior art, the aerodynamic noise simulation and analysis method for porous dielectric material multi-segment airfoils of the present invention has at least one of the following beneficial effects:

[0052] 1. This invention designs the LBM-LES algorithm, which directly calculates the flow field and sound field of a multi-segment airfoil with added porous media material. The calculated surface pressure coefficient and the position of the discretized peak of the Strouhal number are in good agreement with the experimental values. This invention is accurate and feasible for direct numerical calculation of the complex sound field of a multi-segment airfoil based on the LBM-LES algorithm, and has certain guiding significance for the analysis of aerodynamic noise control of multi-segment airfoils.

[0053] 2. The commonly used Smagorinsky subgrid model has certain limitations in simulating multi-scale flows. This invention introduces eddy viscosity into the calculation of small-scale eddies while keeping the original equations unchanged. This allows the LBM-LES algorithm to better simulate flows at high Reynolds numbers, improving the accuracy and applicability of the simulation. Attached Figure Description
