使用激波控制鼓包的跨声速超临界机翼减阻研究(英文)

对采用激波控制鼓包进行超临界机翼的跨声速机翼减阻进行了研究。NASASC(02)-0714被选作超临界翼型。在减阻过程中,升力特性几乎保持不变,这就使得整个机翼的气动特性得到大大改善(提高升阻比)。对激波控制鼓包的高度、长度、展长、个数对减阻效果进行了研究。研究结果表明,对不同鼓包个数在设计马赫数下有近14%和16%的减阻效果,说明了激波控制鼓包减阻的效果。

TRANSONIC DRAG REDUCTION ON SUPERCRITICAL WING SECTION USING SHOCK CONTROL BUMPS

Two-dimensional and three-dimensional shock control contour bumps are designed for a supercritical wing section with the aim of transonic wave drag reduction. The supercritical airfoil (NASA SC (02)-0714) is selected considering the fact that most modern jet transport aircrafts that operate in the transonic flow regime (cruise at transonic speeds) employ supercritical airfoil sections. Here it is to be noted that a decrease in the transonic wave drag without loss in lift would result in an increased lift to drag ratio, which is a key range parameter that can potentially increase both the range and endurance of the aircraft. The major geometric bump parameters such as length, height and span are altered for both the two-dimensional and three-dimensional bumps in order to obtain the optimum location and shape of the bump. Once an optimum standalone three-dimensional bump is acquired, an array of bumps is manually placed spanwise of an unswept supercritical wing and analyzed under fully turbulent flow conditions. Different configurations are tested with varying three-dimensional bump spacing in order to determine the contribution of bump spacing on overall performance. The results show a 14% drag reduction and a consequent 16% lift to drag ratio rise at the design Mach number for the optimum arrangement of bumps along the wing span.
