基于CFD方法的对拍扑翼推进特性分析

Analysis of propulsive performance for dual flapping airfoils using CFD method

  • 摘要: 双翼对拍推进相对于单扑翼推进具有效率高,机械设计容易,升力和惯性力平稳的特点。论文采用雷诺平均NS方程和非结构混合运动网格方法求解非定常流场,以NACA0012翼型为例,研究了低速状态下双翼对拍时沉浮运动的振幅、频率、双翼的间距以及沉浮俯仰两自由度相角差等参数对推进效率和推进系数的影响。研究发现,相对单扑翼推进,双翼对拍能够得到更大的推力和更高的推进效率。附加俯仰自由度后,选择合适的沉浮和俯仰相角差,两自由度组合扑动系统的推进性能相比单纯沉浮扑动系统又将进一步得到提高。

     

    Abstract: Dual flapping airfoils propulsion has many advantages than a single flapping airfoil, such as higher propulsive efficiency, easier mechanical design, more stationary lift and inertial force. The unsteady flow fields around flapping airfoils are simulated by solving Reynolds Averaged NavierStokes equations based on dynamically deformable hybrid grids. Some flapping parameters, such as plunging amplitude, plunging reduced frequency, spacing between the dual airfoils, phase difference between plunge and pitch of composite motion on thrust force coefficient, and propulsive efficiency, are studied by simulating the unsteady low speeds flow over dual flapping NACA0012 airfoils. It is found that dual flapping airfoils achieve a higher thrust force coefient and propulsive efficiency compared with a single flapping airfoil. It is also shown that there is an optimum phase angle of composite motion for a given flapping motion mode. The thrust force coefficient and propulsive efficiency of the composite motion are higher than those of the pure plunging motion.
