俯仰运动状态下旋翼翼型动态失速特性分析

Analysis of dynamic stall characteristics of rotor airfoil in pitching motion state

  • 摘要: 动态失速会影响旋翼翼型的气动特性,限制直升机旋翼的飞行性能。深入揭示其影响机理,将有助于指导旋翼翼型的气动优化设计。本文利用课题组发展的延迟分离涡模拟(DDES)与 \gamma \text-\overline\mathrmRe_\theta t 转捩耦合模型(TDDES)构建了旋翼翼型动态失速数值模拟方法,通过NACA0012翼型验证了TDDES模型能够实现非定常气动特性的数值模拟。为了揭示气动参数(马赫数、平均迎角、迎角幅值、缩减频率、前缘半径、最大厚度、最大弯度)对非定常动态失速的影响,以OA309翼型为研究对象,基于TDDES模型进行非定常数值模拟,计算分析了不同参数发生变化时气动力系数和流场的变化规律。对比分析计算结果发现:增大马赫数使动态失速涡提前破裂,耗散得更快,表现为失速迎角减小、俯仰力矩系数负峰值降低;平均迎角、迎角幅值增大导致失速迎角增大,俯仰力矩系数负峰值增大;缩减频率增大时动态失速过程出现更显著的延迟效应,延缓了动态失速涡的分离,使分离涡积累得更强,气动力的迟滞效应增强;增大前缘半径减弱了翼型前缘处的逆压梯度,抑制了分离涡的强度,从而缓解了动态失速的剧烈程度;增大翼型最大厚度及最大弯度,可通过改变翼型几何形状来促进气流附着,从而抑制动态失速的发生。研究成果可为直升机旋翼翼型的非定常气动设计及动态失速抑制提供理论依据与数据支撑。

     

    Abstract: Dynamic stall affects the aerodynamic characteristics of rotor airfoils. The aerodynamic performance of helicopter rotors is restricted by dynamic stall. A deeper understanding of its underlying mechanisms will facilitate the aerodynamic optimization of rotor airfoils designs. This study establishes a numerical simulation framework for rotor airfoils dynamic stall using a Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (DDES) and \gamma \text-\overline\mathrmRe_\theta t coupled model (TDDES) developed by our group. The TDDES model accurately simulates unsteady aerodynamics, as validated through NACA0012 airfoil cases. To reveal the influence of aerodynamic parameters (Mach number, mean angle of attack, angle-of-attack amplitude, reduced frequency, leading edge radius, maximum thickness, maximum camber) on unsteady dynamic stall, we perform unsteady numerical simulations based on the TDDES model using the OA309 airfoil. The variation characteristics of aerodynamic coefficients and flow-field structures are analyzed under controlled parameter variations. Comparative analysis of computational results reveals that an increase in Mach number causes dynamic stall vortex (DSV) to rupture earlier and dissipate more rapidly, manifesting as a decreased stall angle of attack and a reduced negative peak in the pitching moment coefficient. Increases in the mean angle of attack and its amplitude lead to a higher stall angle of attack and a significantly larger negative peak in the pitching moment coefficient. A higher reduced frequency results in a more pronounced delay in the dynamic stall process, retarding the separation of the DSV and allowing the separation vortex to accumulate greater strength, thereby enhancing the hysteresis effect of the aerodynamic forces. Increasing the leading-edge radius weakens the adverse pressure gradient near the airfoil's leading edge, suppressing the intensity of the separation vortex and consequently alleviating the severity of dynamic stall. Enlarging the airfoil's maximum thickness and maximum camber promotes airflow attachment by altering the geometric shape of the airfoil, which can effectively suppress the occurrence of dynamic stall. The research results can provide a theoretical basis and data support for the unsteady aerodynamic design and dynamic stall suppression of helicopter rotor airfoils.
