带涡襟翼翼型流场的数值模拟

以数值计算为手段,分析了带涡襟翼的翼型的流场特性,分别对迎角及扰流板偏角对翼型气动性能的影响做了分析。结果表明,在小迎角来流情况下,保持迎角不变,涡襟翼偏转角度越大,升力越小,阻力越大,呈现较好的线性关系。在大迎角情况下,绕翼型的流动发生分离,通过适当控制涡襟翼的偏转角度,能够有效的改善翼型的失速特性,从而达到流动控制的目的,迎角越大,涡襟翼所需偏转的角度越大。

分离涡方法对梢涡中脉动量的数值模拟

分别用RANS-SA方法和DES方法对NACA0012翼端梢涡进行模拟计算,分析了梢涡区域网格局部加密对梢涡计算结果的影响,并与实验结果进行了对比.相比于RANS-SA方法,DES方法在梢涡流场计算中具有更好的适用性,能够得到更准确的流动信息和更精细的涡结构;另外,网格局部加密对脉动量的计算影响很大.通过对脉动量的分析发现,在近尾缘处,几股涡的融合产生了比较强烈的脉动,随着梢涡的逐渐稳定,脉动量也逐渐减小;现有的实验结果显示在偏下游处会产生梢涡的振荡现象,使统计脉动量增大,而本文计算中未发现该现象.

高机动飞行器非指令运动及其控制的研究进展

高机动飞行器往往都是通过大攻角飞行来实现高机动科目的, 在发展高机动飞行器的过程中, 其非指令运动是伴随着大攻角飞行而常常出现的运动形态. 为此, 应在飞行器设计的早期阶段, 充分研究所设计布局的大攻角流动性态及其相应的非指令运动的形态;揭示这类运动形态的主控流动;在此基础上形成和发展流动控制新技术, 以达到抑制非指令运动的目的. 由于大攻角前体非对称涡往往与非指令运动密切相关, 为此本文首先指出前体非对称涡流动对头部微扰动十分敏感, 以致长期以来让人们误认为这类流动具有不确定性. 研究表明, 通过设置人工微扰动可使前体非对称涡流动具有可重复性, 并揭示该流动随扰动周向角变化的响应、演化规律. 通过利用大、小后掠翼两类翼身组合体的典型布局形式, 研究它们所呈现的摇滚运动形态, 揭示其摇滚运动的不同主控流动机理, 在此基础上分别发展了抑制小、大后掠翼身组合体摇滚运动的流动控制技术: 快速旋转头部扰动和适当设置扰动位使翼、身的两对非对称涡处于反相. 在抑制非指令运动的研究中, 深入理解和揭示头部微扰动对非对称涡流动的响应、演化机理是至关重要的, 应予以特别关注.

自由涡尾迹方法中涡核尺寸对风力机气动计算的影响

涡核模型中的涡核尺寸对自由涡尾迹(free vortex wake,FVW)方法准确预估风力机气动特性至关重要,涡核尺寸包括初始涡核半径和由于耗散效应涡核半径在尾迹中的增长.FVW方法中涡线控制方程离散采用三步三阶预估校正格式,涡核模型采用经典Lamb-Oseen模型,并考虑了涡耗散效应和拉伸效应.首先,通过气动载荷和叶尖涡涡量平均值的分析得到初始涡核半径的取值范围;然后,根据叶尖涡耗散特性的分析,确定体现涡黏性耗散效应涡核半径增长的经验常数的取值;最后,分析了涡核尺寸对叶尖涡结构的影响,进一步验证初始涡核半径和涡黏性耗散经验常数的取值对风力机气动计算的影响.结果表明:当初始涡核半径大于50%弦长时,FVW方法收敛稳定且能准确预估风轮气动载荷;综合风轮气动载荷和叶尖涡耗散特性,初始涡核半径取60%到70%弦长为宜,且对应的涡黏性耗散经验常数取值也不同;风轮气动载荷和叶尖涡结构的准确预估主要受初始涡核半径影响,经验常数对其影响不大,而经验常数主要影响风轮下游尾流场叶尖涡的耗散特性.      

Vortex breakdown over a delta wing with oscillating leading edge flaps

 The effects of oscillating leading-edge flaps on leading-edge vortices and vortex breakdown were investigated for a delta wing with upward-deflected flaps. The variation of breakdown location revealed hysteresis loops. The time-averaged breakdown location over one cycle may move upstream or downstream compared to the quasi-steady case, depending on the amplitude of flap oscillations and angle of attack. Measurements of the phase-averaged velocity upstream of breakdown did not reveal any correlation to the response of breakdown location. The effect of oscillating flaps is largest when the breakdown location is near the trailing-edge region in the static case. Received: 2 February 1997/Accepted: 7 April 1997     

Wind Impact on Single Vortices and Counterrotating Vortex Pairs in Ground Proximity

Wall-resolved large eddy simulations are employed to investigate the behaviour of wake vortices and single vortices in ground proximity at a variety of wind conditions. The six considered strengths of wind, ranging between 0.5 and 4 times the initial wake vortex descent speed, w₀, include practically and theoretically significant wind speeds. A crosswind of 0.5 w₀ may lead to windward stall posing a potential hazard to subsequently landing aircraft, whereas theoretical considerations predict that at 4 w₀ the rebound of the luff vortex is completely suppressed. The same range of wind speeds is also used to investigate the effects of headwind and diagonal wind in order to discriminate between effects of environmental turbulence increasing with wind speed and the direction of the wind shear. The study has been complemented by a number of single vortex computations in order to differentiate between effects related to the mutual interaction of the vortex pair and the individual vortices with the turbulent boundary layer flow. It is shown that vortex ascent, descent, rebound and decay characteristics are controlled by (i) the interaction of the vortices with secondary vorticity detaching from the ground, (ii) the redistribution of vorticity of the boundary layer which is altering the path of the primary vortices by mutual velocity induction, and (iii) the interaction of the vortices with the environmental turbulence.

Parameter dependence of vortex interactions on a two-dimensional plunging plate

The structure and dynamics of the flow field created by a plunging flat-plate airfoil are investigated at a chord Reynolds number of 10,000 while varying plunge amplitude and Strouhal number. Digital particle image velocimetry measurements are used to characterize the shedding patterns and the interactions between the leading- and trailing-edge vortex structures (LEV and TEV), resulting in the development of a wake classification system based on the nature and timing of interactions between the leading- and trailing-edge vortices. The streamwise advancement of the LEV during a plunge cycle and its resulting interaction with the TEV is primarily dependent on reduced frequency; however, for Strouhal numbers above approximately 0.4, significant changes are observed in the formation of vortices shed from the leading and trailing edges, as well as the circulation of the leading-edge vortex. The functional form of the relationship between leading-edge vortex circulation and Strouhal number suggests that the Strouhal number dependence is more specifically a manifestation of the effective angle of attack. Comparison with low-Reynolds-number studies of plunging airfoil aerodynamics reveals a high degree of consistency and suggests applicability of the classification system beyond the range examined in the present work.     

Application of digital particle image velocimetry to insect aerodynamics: measurement of the leading-edge vortex and near wake of a Hawkmoth

Some insects use leading-edge vortices to generate high lift forces, as has been inferred from qualitative smoke visualisations of the flow around their wings. Here we present the first Digital Particle Image Velocimetry (DPIV) data and quantitative analysis of an insect’s leading-edge vortex and near wake at two flight speeds. This allows us to describe objectively 2D slices through the flow field of a tethered Tobacco Hawkmoth (Manduca sexta). The near-field vortex wake appears to braodly resemble elliptical vortex loops. The presence of a leading-edge vortex towards the end of the downstroke is found to coincide with peak upward force production measured by a six-component force–moment balance. The topology of Manduca’s leading-edge vortex differs from that previously described because late in the downstroke, the structure extends continuously from wingtip across the thorax to the other wingtip.     

Nonlinear characteristics of a thin wing in a shock-free flow around the nose

An effective means of controlling wing leading-edge stall at high angles of attack is deflection of the nose in order to assure shock-free entrance of the stream. A numerical method of computing the angles of nose deflection and the aerodynamic characteristics of a thin wing of arbitrary planform for a shock-free entrance of the steady ideal incompressible fluid stream is elucidated in this paper on the basis of nonlinear wing theory [1]. The problem is solved by the method of discrete vortices. In the computations, the wing and its wake, replaced by a vortex sheet, are modeled by a system of discrete vortices which are nonlinear segments with constant circulation along the length. The angles of deflection of the nose and the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing, including shunting of the free vortices shed from the side and trailing edges, are determined during the computation. Examples of an electronic digital computer are presented.     

Measurement of parallel blade–vortex interaction at low Reynolds numbers

In this study parallel blade–vortex interaction for a Schmidt-propeller configuration has been examined using particle image velocimetry (PIV). This tandem configuration consists of a leading airfoil (forefoil), used to generate a vortical wake of leading-edge vortices (LEVs) and trailing-edge vortices (TEVs) through a pitching or plunging motion, and a trailing airfoil (hindfoil), held fixed with a specified angle of attack and vertical spacing in its wake. The hindfoil incidence (loading) and not the vertical spacing to the incoming vortical wake has been found to dictate the nature of the interaction (inviscid vs. viscous). For cases where the vortex–blade offset is small and the hindfoil is loaded, vortex distortion and vortex-induced separations are observed. By tracking the circulation of the LEV and TEV, it has been found that the vortices are strengthened for the tandem arrangement and in certain cases dissipate quicker in the wake when interacting with the hindfoil. Time-averaged forces obtained using a standard control-volume analysis are then obtained and used to evaluate these vortex-interaction cases. A subsequent analysis of the varying pressure distribution over the suction side of the hindfoil is performed by integrating the Navier–Stokes equations through the velocity field. This allows for a direct comparison of the vortex-induced loading for the various configurations.     

The influence of airfoil kinematics on the formation of leading-edge vortices in bio-inspired flight

The formation process of leading-edge vortices has been investigated experimentally using Particle Image Velocimetry. Various airfoil kinematics have been tested, including asymmetric and peak-shifted plunging motions, and are evaluated for Re = 30,000 and a reduced frequency range of 0.2 ≤ k ≤ 0.33. By measuring the growth in the leading-edge vortex during the dynamic-stall process, the vortex pinch-off process is examined based on the concept of an optimal vortex formation time. The various kinematics are then evaluated with respect to their associated vortex strength, timing and convection into the wake.     

偏转矢量喷流对双三角翼前缘涡破裂影响的实验研究

本文应用染色液流动显示技术对后缘偏转喷流情况下76°/40°双三角翼前缘涡破裂位置的变化进行了观测,实验结果表明偏转喷流主要推迟与喷流方向相同一侧前缘涡的破裂,而使另一侧前缘涡破裂略有提前.随着喷流偏转角度的增大,喷流使两前缘涡破裂位置差逐渐增大.另外,随着模型攻角的增大,前缘涡涡核与双三角翼翼面的夹角逐渐增大,导致偏转喷流的作用逐渐减弱.     

Interaction of Two-Dimensional Trailing Vortex Pair with a Shear Layer

The basic laws governing the interaction of a two-dimensional vortex pair with a shear layer of constant thickness are considered. The main idea of the study is to develop and adapt a simplified representation of a hydrodynamic flow based on a point-vortex model simulating the actual interaction of full-scale vortex patterns over the ground surface. It is shown that vortices with vorticity opposite in sign to the shear layer may stop or even ricochet from this layer, while the other vortex may penetrate through the layer. Numerical results are presented as plots and analyzed
