Recent advances in physical understanding and quantitative prediction of impinging-jet dynamics and atomization

Impinging-jet injectors are widely used in liquid propulsion applications, since their simple configuration provides reliable and efficient atomization. The flowfield involves a series of complicated spatio-temporal evolutions. Much effort has been directed toward understanding the underlying physics and developing quantitative predictions of impinging-jet atomization. This paper summarizes the recent advances in this direction, including state-of-the-art theoretical, experimental, and numerical studies, along with representative results. Finally, concluding remarks address remaining challenges and highlight modeling capabilities of high-fidelity simulations.     

升力偏置对共轴刚性旋翼前飞气动特性的影响

为了分析升力偏置对共轴刚性旋翼前飞气动特性的影响，建立了基于雷诺平均Navier-Stokes方程的计算流体力学方法进行共轴旋翼流场求解，采用嵌套网格方法模拟桨叶运动，采用双时间方法进行时间推进。针对不同升力偏置状态，采用基于"差量法"的共轴旋翼高效配平策略进行操纵量配平。通过对Harrington-1旋翼性能的计算，验证了方法的有效性。对比计算了共轴刚性旋翼在不同前进比和升力偏置量下的气动性能和流场特征，结果表明：双旋翼操纵量在小前进比状态有明显差别，在大前进比状态基本一致；在相同拉力状态，随着升力偏置量的增大，共轴旋翼升阻比先升高后降低，其阻力却不断增大，不同前进比状态的最大升阻比对应的升力偏置量不同；双旋翼相遇时桨叶拉力出现脉冲式波动，由于流场被前行桨叶所主导，因此后行桨叶拉力波动幅值更大，且波动幅值随升力偏置量的增加而增大。

Delaying stall of morphing wing by periodic trailing-edge deflection

Morphing wings can improve aircraft performance during different flight phases. Recently research has focused on steady aerodynamic characteristics of the morphing wing with a flexible trailing-edge, and the unsteady aerodynamic and stall characteristics in the deflection process of the morphing wing are worthy further investigation. The effects of the angle of attack and deflection rate on aerodynamic characteristics were examined, and based on the aerodynamic characteristics of the morphing wing, a method was developed to delay stall by using the flexible periodic trailing-edge deflection. The numerical results show that the lift coefficients in the deflection process are smaller than those in the static situation at small angles of attack, and that the higher the deflection rate is, the smaller the lift coefficients will be. On the contrary, at large angles of attack, the lift coefficients are higher than those in the static case, and they become larger with the increase of the deflection rate. Further, the periodic deflection of the flexible trailing-edge with a small deflection amplitude and high deflection rate can increase lift coefficients at the critical stall angle.     

Optimal three-dimensional impact time guidance with seeker’s field-of-view constraint

This paper proposes a new three-dimensional optimal guidance law for impact time control with seeker’s Field-of-View (FOV) constraint to intercept a stationary target. The proposed guidance law is devised in conjunction with the concept of biased Proportional Navigation Guidance (PNG). The guidance law developed leverages a nonlinear function to ensure the boundedness of velocity lead angle to cater to the seeker’s FOV limit. It is proven that the impact time error is nullified in a finite-time under the proposed method. Additionally, the optimality of the biased command is theoretically analyzed. Numerical simulations confirm the superiority of the proposed method and validate the analytic findings.     

Experimental Study of Corner Stall in a Linear Compressor Cascade

In order to gain a better knowledge of the mechanisms and to calibrate computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools including both Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) and large eddy simulation (LES),a detailed and accurate experimental study of corner stall in a linear compressor cascade has been carried out.Data are taken at a Reynolds number of 382 000 based on blade chord and inlet velocity.At first,inlet flow boundary layer is surveyed using hot-wire anemometry.Then in order to investigate the effects of incidence,measurements are acquired at five incidences,including static pressures on both blade and endwall surfaces measured by pressure taps and the total pressure losses of outlet flow measured by a five-hole pressure probe.The maximum losses as well as the extent of losses of the corner stall are presented as a function of the investigated incidences.

为了解舰载飞机着舰时拦阻钩碰撞甲板后被反弹的动力学性能,以某舰载飞机为研究对象,建立了全机着舰动力学模型和拦阻钩碰撞甲板的碰撞模型,进行了全机着舰动力学仿真,通过拦阻钩碰撞反弹试验对碰撞模型进行修正,得到了更加准确的碰撞模型。将仿真结果与试验结果进行对比,验证了模型的准确性。研究了甲板涂层、俯仰角、航向速度、下沉速度和拦阻钩阻尼器参数对拦阻钩反弹动力学性能的影响。结果表明:航向速度对反弹高度和碰撞力几乎没有影响;随着下沉速度和俯仰角的增加,反弹高度和碰撞力也增加;拦阻钩阻尼器参数的变化不会影响碰撞力,但是对反弹动力学性能会产生明显的影响。     

From geometry to CFD grids—An automated approach for conceptual design

The CEASIOM software developed in the EU-funded collaborative research project SimSAC generates stability and control data for preliminary aircraft design using different methods of varying fidelity. In order to obtain the aerodynamic derivatives by CFD, the aircraft geometry must be defined, computational meshes generated, and numerical parameters set for the flow solvers. An approach to automation of the process is discussed, involving geometry generation and mesh generation for inviscid as well as RANS flow models.     

Transonic aeroelastic simulation for instability searches and uncertainty analysis

In this paper the use of eigenvalue stability analysis of very large dimension aeroelastic numerical models arising from the exploitation of computational fluid dynamics is reviewed. A formulation based on a block reduction of the system Jacobian proves powerful to allow various numerical algorithms to be exploited, including frequency domain solvers, reconstruction of a term describing the fluid-structure interaction from the sparse data which incurs the main computational cost, and sampling to place the expensive samples where they are most needed. The stability formulation also allows non-deterministic analysis to be carried out very efficiently through the use of an approximate Newton solver. Finally, the system eigenvectors are exploited to produce nonlinear and parameterised reduced order models for computing limit cycle responses. The performance of the methods is illustrated with results from a number of academic and large dimension aircraft test cases.
