一种基于GRU神经网络的航空发动机叶片颤振快速预测方法

A rapid prediction method for flutter of aero-engine blades based on modal shape decomposition combined with GRU neural network

  • 摘要: 航空发动机叶片颤振是由气动弹性失稳引发的重大安全隐患,其传统预测方法需要进行大量非定常流场仿真。为此,本文提出了一种基于模态振型分解并结合门控循环单元(gated recurrent unit, GRU)神经网络模型的发动机叶片气动载荷计算方法,并将其应用于发动机叶片气动阻尼的快速估算及颤振分析。首先对发动机叶片的固有振型模态进行弯扭分解并计算出弯曲模态和扭转模态对应的气动模态力,然后通过时序GRU神经网络分别建立弯曲模态和扭转模态气动模态力与弯扭广义运动变量之间的映射,并将该映射关系应用于一定频率范围内不同弯扭比叶片气动阻尼的计算,进而预测颤振。以NASA Rotor67转子模型为例,对弯扭气动模态力模型进行了验证,并实现了不同弯扭比模态下叶片的颤振分析。结果表明,该模型可以在一定频率范围内对发动机叶片的非定常气动载荷进行较准确的估计,并能针对具有不同弯扭比振型模态的叶片进行快速气动阻尼估算。本文发展的方法能够显著加快航空发动机叶片的颤振设计过程。

     

    Abstract: Aeroengine blade flutter poses a critical safety hazard induced by aeroelastic instability, with traditional prediction methodologies requiring extensive unsteady flow field simulations that entail substantial computational time. This paper proposes a method for calculating aerodynamic loads on aero-engine blades based on modal shape decomposition combined with a Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) neural network model, and applies it to rapid estimation of aerodynamic damping and flutter analysis of aero-engine blades. We first perform bending-torsion decomposition on the blade's natural vibration modes and calculate corresponding aerodynamic modal forces for both bending and torsion modes. Subsequently, temporal GRU neural networks are employed to establish mapping relationships between aerodynamic modal forces and generalized motion variables for both bending and torsion modes. These established mappings are then applied to compute aerodynamic damping and predict flutter for blades with different bending-torsion ratios within specific frequency ranges. Using the NASA Rotor67 rotor model as a case study, the proposed aerodynamic modal force model for bending-torsion modes is validated, and flutter analysis is implemented for blades with varying bending-torsion ratio modes. Results demonstrate that the model can accurately estimate unsteady aerodynamic loads on aero-engine blades within certain frequency ranges and enable efficient aerodynamic damping estimation for blades with different bending-torsion ratio vibration modes. The method developed in this study significantly accelerates the flutter design process of aero-engine blades.
