爬升工况下超临界翼型结冰气动敏感性研究

Study on aerodynamic sensitivity of supercritical airfoil icing under climbing conditions

  • 摘要: 为揭示超临界翼型在爬升阶段的结冰气动敏感性与致灾机理,采用FENSAP-ICE数值模拟方法,针对NASA SC(2)-0714翼型开展了攻角、液态水含量(liquid water content, LWC)、中值体积直径(median volumetric diameter, MVD)及来流速度等多参数解耦研究。结果表明:积冰改变了翼型失速特性,前缘积冰诱导上表面出现层流分离泡并恶化流场拓扑结构,导致失速攻角提前及爬升阶段安全飞行包线收窄;气动性能对MVD的变化呈现"初始突变-平稳演化-二次突变"三阶段非线性响应,其中30~40 μm为临界突变区间,该区间恰位于适航规范Appendix C上限附近,揭示了常规结冰与过冷大水滴分界点的物理基础;来流速度对气动性能的影响呈现饱和效应,低速工况升阻比损失率高达21.3%,随速度增加气动退化逐渐趋缓;LWC对气动性能退化呈线性累积效应,基于数值模拟结果,构建升阻比衰减工程预测模型,该模型在基准工况下拟合为升阻比与液态水含量呈斜率为-4.56的线性关系。研究揭示了爬升阶段超临界翼型结冰的多参数敏感性规律及物理机制,可为飞机防除冰系统适航设计提供理论支撑。

     

    Abstract: To reveal the aerodynamic sensitivity and disaster-inducing mechanisms of icing on supercritical airfoils during the climb phase, a multi-parameter decoupled study was conducted on the NASA SC(2)-0714 airfoil using the FENSAP-ICE numerical simulation method, investigating the effects of angle of attack, liquid water content (LWC), median volumetric diameter (MVD), and freestream velocity. The results indicate that ice accretion alters the stall characteristics of the airfoil: leading-edge ice induces laminar separation bubbles on the upper surface and deteriorates the flow field topology, resulting in premature stall angle and a narrowed safe flight envelope during the climb phase. The aerodynamic performance exhibits a three-stage nonlinear response to MVD variations, characterized by "initial abrupt degradation—steady evolution—secondary abrupt degradation", with the 30~40 μm range identified as the critical transition interval. This interval coincides with the upper limit of airworthiness regulation Appendix C, revealing the physical basis for the demarcation between conventional icing and supercooled large droplet (SLD) conditions. The influence of freestream velocity demonstrates a saturation effect: the lift-to-drag ratio loss reaches 21.3% at low-speed conditions, while the degradation gradually diminishes as velocity increases. The effect of LWC on aerodynamic degradation exhibits a linear accumulation characteristic. Based on the numerical simulation results, an engineering prediction model for lift-to-drag ratio degradation was developed, which establishes a linear relationship between lift-to-drag ratio and LWC with a slope of -4.56 under baseline conditions. This study reveals the multi-parameter sensitivity patterns and physical mechanisms of icing on supercritical airfoils during the climb phase, providing theoretical support for the airworthiness design of aircraft anti-icing and de-icing systems.
