The application discloses a design method of a
ducted propeller, comprising the following steps: S1, clearly defining design conditions and initial design parameters; the design conditions comprise tension T generated by the duct and the
propeller, and working speed n of the
propeller; the initial design parameters comprise
propeller diameter D, propeller-duct clearance δ and airfoil; S2, designing the propeller
diameter D; S3, designing the propeller-duct clearance δ; S4, designing the airfoil; the prerequisite of parameterization of the propeller blade is to determine an airfoil family used by the propeller blade and a
radial position, and to keep constant the chord lengths of a
wing root, a middle part of the wing and a wing tip, and the duct; under the prerequisite, the airfoils of the
wing root, the middle part of the wing and the wing tip section are determined through a CST type function; except the
wing root and the wing tip, the negative torsion angles of 3-7 sections of the
radial position are simultaneously taken as optimization variables, and a parameterization model of the propeller blade is generated. The method has the advantages that the iterative optimization design method is based on numerical
simulation, can accurately evaluate and improve the aerodynamic efficiency of the
ducted propeller.
