A New Single-blade Based Hybrid CFD Method for Hovering and Forward-flight Rotor Computation

A hybrid Euler/full potential/Lagrangian wake method,based on single-blade simulation,for predicting unsteady aerodynamic flow around helicopter rotors in hover and forward flight has been developed.In this method,an Euler solver is used to model the near wake evolution and transonic flow phenomena in the vicinity of the blade,and a full potential equation(FPE) is used to model the isentropic potential flow region far away from the rotor,while the wake effects of other blades and the far wake are incorporated into the flow solution as an induced inflow distribution using a Lagrangian based wake analysis.To further reduce the execution time,the computational fluid dynamics(CFD) solution and rotor wake analysis(including induced velocity up-date) are conducted parallelly,and a load balancing strategy is employed to account for the information exchange between two solvers.By the developed method,several hover and forward-flight cases on Caradonna-Tung and Helishape 7A rotors are per-formed.Good agreements of the loadings on blade surface with available measured data demonstrate the validation of the method.Also,the CPU time required for different computation runs is compared in the paper,and the results show that the pre-sent hybrid method is superior to conventional CFD method in time cost,and will be more efficient with the number of blades increasing.

直升机热管理与红外辐射特性耦合分析方法

未来高性能直升机面临提高能量利用率和抑制红外辐射特性的重大挑战,迫切需要协同解决这两个问题,需要从整机层面探究热管理和红外辐射特性耦合机制,建立耦合分析方法。直升机红外辐射特性不仅受到旋翼下洗流场、前飞流场和环境等外部因素的影响,还受到各子系统部件的工作状态、机身表面的散热口布置和红外抑制器的设计等热管理优化方法的影响。因此,直升机热管理问题和红外抑制问题是强相互耦合,必须统筹考虑。从直升机整机系统的结构特点、系统工作原理和能量平衡关系出发,基于热/质流产生、收集传输、储存利用和传热关系,分析直升机整机系统框架和传热平衡关系,建立以系统部件为内部边界条件、外环境为外部边界条件的整机耦合传热模型;通过对内外部热量的统筹调控与管理,提出热管理优化方法,实现既保障各系统安全高效工作、又提高整机能量利用率,优化红外辐射性能的目的。该模型和方法能为直升机综合热管理的方案设计和红外抑制方法提供支撑。     

重型直升机飞行动力学刚弹耦合建模及空中共振稳定性分析

针对重型直升机（HLH）大重量、低转速的固有特性,提出了一种适用于重型直升机的飞行动力学刚弹耦合建模方法。该方法结合传统直升机飞行动力学与旋翼机体耦合动力学,将传统飞行力学的分析频段拓展到了5 Hz,额外考虑了桨叶和机体的弹性变形,基于阻抗匹配法推导出了显式的旋翼/机体耦合动力学方程,模拟了真实飞行状态下的直升机气弹耦合特性,利用该模型计算并分析了算例重型直升机的悬停飞行特性和空中共振稳定性。结果表明：旋翼机体耦合导致摆振前进型和机体弹性模态的阻尼-转速曲线先相互靠近至同一点再分离,可能引起直升机的高频瞬态振动;在摆振等效阻尼不足时,旋翼摆振后退型是不稳定的,但随着等效阻尼增加,摆振二阶周期型模态和机体弹性模态会出现耦合;桨叶弹性变形与机体弯曲模态及挥舞集合型耦合,但不会引起明显的不稳定现象。

Dynamics Analysis of Close-coupling Multiple Helicopters System

The particularity and practicality of harmony operations of close-coupling multiple helicopters indicate that the researches on it are urgent and necessary, Using the model that describes two hovering helicopters carrying one heavy load, an inertia coordinate system and body coordinate systems of each sub-system are established. A nonlinear force model is established too. The equilibrium computation results can be regarded as the reference control inputs of the flight control system under hovering or low-speed flight condition. After the establishment of a translation kinematics model and a posture kinematics model, a coupling dynamics model of the multiple helicopter system is set up. The results can also be regarded as the base to analyze stabilization and design a controller for a close-coupling multiple helicopters harmony operation system.
