Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of aircraft technology, specifically relating to a method for extracting aerodynamic loads in the partitions of a rotating aircraft component. Background Technology

[0002] In aircraft structural design and strength verification, accurately obtaining the actual aerodynamic load environment of each component is crucial to ensuring its safety and reliability. Traditional methods treat the aircraft as a whole for load analysis and measurement, or only roughly consider the total aerodynamic load of components such as the fuselage, rudder / wing, etc., making it difficult to accurately reflect the local aerodynamic loads borne by key areas on the surface or inside of components (such as wing leading edges, rudder hinge areas, and compartment connections) under complex flight conditions. Existing technologies cannot effectively achieve aerodynamic load decoupling and extraction from the whole to the part, and from components to zones, leading to conservative designs and an inability to accurately identify local weak points. As modern aircraft develop towards lightweight and high-performance, there is an urgent need for refined structural load analysis and zoned load extraction. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop a method that can effectively divide component regions and accurately extract the local aerodynamic loads of each zone to support the entire process from detailed design to experimental verification, thereby improving product development efficiency and reliability.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for extracting aerodynamic loads in a zonal region of a rotating aircraft component. This method first calculates the surface pressure and viscous shear force of the entire aircraft using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, and then obtains the aerodynamic loads in a specified region by integration based on a zonal method.

[0032] Step 1: Calculate the surface pressure and shear stress of the entire machine; Based on the full-scale 3D digital model, complex local details with minimal aerodynamic impact are refined to obtain a concise and complete aerodynamic shape. The processed shape file is then imported into mesh generation software, with the coordinate system set to the origin. Located at the nose, The shaft points from the head to the tail of the machine. Axis perpendicular The axis lies in the normal plane. Axis perpendicular to For the planar model, first mesh the entire aircraft surface, then generate a spatial volume mesh. In the boundary settings, define the fuselage, rudder / wing, and other components separately. Import the mesh file into the CFD software, set the incoming flow conditions and boundary conditions, initialize the flow field, and start the calculation. After completion, output the coordinates, pressure, and shear stress results of the entire aircraft surface.

[0033] Step 2: Method for defining fuselage partitions; The fuselage of a spin-type aircraft is spin-type, and the entire fuselage is divided into sections along both the axial and radial directions, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the dividing points for the axial and radial directions are:

[0034] In the formula, partition The area is:

[0035] Step 3: Computer body partition aerodynamic load; Based on the total aircraft surface coordinates exported in the first step, determine the partition to which each grid cell on the fuselage surface belongs. (Grid cell center coordinates) The calculation is as follows:

[0037] If the following conditions are met:

[0038] Then this grid cell belongs to the first... The corresponding local aerodynamic forces are accumulated in that partition, i.e.:

[0039] In the formula, These are the coordinates of the torque reference point, typically taken at the machine head position.

[0040] Step 4: Method for defining rudder (wing) surface zones; Before partitioning, first move the rudder plane from the global coordinate system. Transform to the local coordinate system Among them, the origin It is the intersection of the rudder shaft centerline and the rudder root chord plane. From the leading edge of the rudder root string to the trailing edge Pointing towards the rudder tip along the centerline of the rudder shaft, According to the right-hand rule, perpendicular to Plane. First, translate the origin of the global coordinate system to... Then, after the following three rotations; The first time, around Axis rotation azimuth angle (rudder shaft and) The angle between the planes (positive when viewed from back to front, counterclockwise) corresponds to the rotation matrix. for:

[0041] After rotation rudder surface coordinates in coordinate system and shear stress It becomes:

[0044] After rotation rudder surface coordinates in coordinate system and shear stress It becomes:

[0045] The third time, Coordinate system around Shaft rotation rudder deflection (The rotation angle of the control surface around the control axis, with the trailing edge deflected downwards as positive), corresponding to the rotation matrix. for:

[0046] After rotation rudder surface coordinates in coordinate system and shear stress It becomes:

[0047] The next steps are in Implemented in a coordinate system.

[0048] The partitioning of the control surface is defined using a concept similar to that of unstructured grids. For example... Figure 3 As shown, Select a node on the plane as a partition node:

[0049] No. A partition is an arbitrary polygonal region enclosed by boundary nodes, and the boundary nodes are arranged in clockwise or counterclockwise order as follows:

[0050] After rotation Defining partitions on a plane allows different control surfaces of a set of rudders to use the same partition settings.

[0051] Step 5: Calculate the aerodynamic loads of the rudder (wing) surface zones; After rotating the rudder surface in step four, determine the partition to which each grid cell on the rudder surface belongs. Area of ​​the polygon enclosed by the partition boundary nodes for:

[0052] Cell center of a certain grid With the The area enclosed by the partition boundary nodes is:

[0053] If the following conditions are met:

[0054] Then this grid cell belongs to the first... Partitioning, in the formula It is a human-given error limit, generally taken as... The aerodynamic force of this unit is accumulated in this partition, that is:

[0055] Using the above method, the zoned load extraction of the fuselage and tail rudder of the tail-rudder type spin-type aircraft was carried out. The fuselage was divided into 20 equal sections along the axial direction, 4 equal sections radially (corresponding to quadrants 1 to 4), 4 equal sections spanwise (from root to tip, corresponding to spanwise 1 to 4), and 6 equal sections chordally. Figure 4 The results show that the aerodynamic loads in different zones are significantly different, so it is essential to extract the aerodynamic load zones when designing a structure in a refined manner.
