一种无人机螺旋桨的快速优化设计方法

针对某四叶桨无人机的飞行性能要求,将Betz条件和遗传算法相结合,开展了一套最佳螺旋桨的快速优化设计方法研究.先利用关于最佳螺旋桨的Betz条件,得到桨叶弦长及安装角的初始径向分布,以此作为遗传算法初始种群采用遗传算法进一步优化,得到桨叶弦长及安装角的最优径向分布,并对优化结果进行仿真计算及对比分析.结果表明,方法能快速、准确地设计和优化出所需性能的螺旋桨.优化后的螺旋桨在辅助设计点前进比1.196 6处,螺旋桨拉力较原来Betz条件提高5.9%,效率由原来Betz条件的73.7%提升到76.5%;主设计点前进比1.262 6处拉力较原来Betz条件提高7.4%,效率由原来Betz条件的75.0%提升到78.3%,效率均较高.

A Quick Approach to Optimum Design of UAV Propeller

This paper present a quick method of propeller design by combine the Betz Condition with the Genetic Algorithm and the meridional distribution of the chord length and installation angle of the propeller are obtained.Then modeling for numerical simulation and make the comparative analysis.The results show this method can quickly and accurately design the propeller satisfying the performance requirements.The force of the optimal propeller increased 7.4% and the efficiency improved from 75% to 78.3% compared to the original propeller at the design point condition.
