s3, in the case that the incoming flow Mach number is 0.15, comparing aerodynamic performance parameters of the original airfoil profile and the airfoil profile leading edge vibrating elliptical wing configuration designed by the invention when the incoming flow attack angle is calculated to be 0-20 degrees; it can be seen from fig. 12 that at low angles of attack, the airfoil leading edge oscillating elliptical wing configuration does not adversely affect the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil, and the lift-to-drag ratio is slightly higher than the original airfoil. The original airfoil enters a stall area when the attack angle is 16 degrees, the lift-drag ratio is sharply reduced, the lift-increasing effect of the configuration designed by the invention is obvious under the condition of large attack angle, and the stall attack angle is delayed to 19 degrees.
Example 4: in the embodiment, a numerical simulation method based on a Reynolds average Navier-Stokes equation is adopted to carry out numerical simulation on the aerodynamic characteristics of the large attack angle of the elliptical wing configuration with the vibrating wing profile leading edge, and the verification proves that the elliptical wing configuration with the vibrating wing profile leading edge can effectively inhibit airflow separation and remarkably improve the aerodynamic characteristics of the large attack angle of the wing under the state of the large attack angle, wherein the simulation process comprises the following steps:
s1, arranging a vibration elliptical wing structure in front of a front edge of an airfoil profile as a simulation object, wherein a main wing profile is an NACA0012 airfoil profile, the length of an elliptical wing chord is 1% of the chord length of the main wing, the main wing profile is arranged right in front of a front edge point of the airfoil profile, and the distance between the center of the elliptical wing and the front edge point is 6% of the chord length of the main wing; taking the elliptical wing as an example of sinking and floating motion, the motion equation is as follows: y is Asin (2 pi ft), the amplitude is 1% of the chord length of the main wing, and the frequency is 16;
s2, obtaining a flow field flow diagram of a single NACA0012 airfoil profile and an improved configuration designed by the invention under the conditions that the incoming flow Mach number is 0.15 and the attack angle is 18 degrees in the figure 13; it can be seen that in a large attack angle state, serious airflow separation occurs on the upper surface of a single NACA0012 airfoil, and most of the area of the upper surface of the airfoil is covered by large separation bubbles, so that the pressure of the upper surface of the airfoil is obviously increased, and the loss of the lift characteristic of the large attack angle of the airfoil is serious; compared with the original wing profile, the front-mounted vibrating elliptical wing structure designed by the invention can play a better role in inhibiting flow separation at a large attack angle, the original larger separation bubbles on the wing profile become smaller separation bubbles, and the separation point moves backwards, so that the front-mounted vibrating elliptical wing structure has important significance in improving the stall attack angle of the wing profile and the aerodynamic performance at the large attack angle;
s3, FIG. 14 is a Mach number cloud chart of the original airfoil profile of NACA0012 and the configuration of the vibrating elliptical wing at the leading edge of the airfoil profile under the condition that the attack angle is 18 degrees; as can be seen from fig. 14, compared with the original airfoil shape, the flow velocity of the lower surface of the leading edge vibration elliptical wing configuration designed by the invention is relatively low, and the flow velocity of the upper surface of the leading edge vibration elliptical wing configuration is relatively high, which is significant for improving the pressure difference between the upper surface and the lower surface of the lifting surface;
s3, in the case that the incoming flow Mach number is 0.15, comparing aerodynamic performance parameters of the original airfoil profile and the airfoil profile leading edge vibrating elliptical wing configuration designed by the invention when the incoming flow attack angle is calculated to be 0-20 degrees; it can be seen from fig. 9 that at low angles of attack, the airfoil leading edge oscillating elliptical wing configuration does not adversely affect the aerodynamic performance of the airfoil, and the lift-to-drag ratio is slightly higher than the original airfoil. When the incoming flow attack angle is larger than 12 degrees, the resistance coefficient of the designed configuration of the invention is slightly increased, and the lift-drag ratio is reduced. The original airfoil enters a stall area when the attack angle is 16 degrees, the lift-drag ratio is sharply reduced, the lift-increasing effect of the configuration designed by the invention is obvious under the condition of large attack angle, and the stall attack angle is small and the stall attack angle is delayed by a small amplitude.
It can be seen from the above three embodiments that when the distance from the center of the elliptical wing to the leading edge point is increased to 6% of the chord length of the main wing, the control effect of the wing profile leading edge vibrating elliptical wing configuration on flow separation at a large attack angle is weakened, but the flow separation at the large attack angle of the wing profile can still be effectively inhibited under the condition of generating small additional resistance, so that the lift-drag ratio of the wing profile is improved; when the distance between the center of the elliptical wing and the front edge point exceeds the range of 6 percent of the chord length of the main wing, the control effect of the wing profile front edge vibration elliptical wing configuration is further weakened on the basis, and the ideal effect of improving the aerodynamic performance at the large attack angle is difficult to achieve at the moment.
The working principle of the airfoil configuration capable of improving the separation characteristic of the large attack angle is as follows: when the vortex shedding mechanism works, fluid flows through the elliptical wing 2 arranged at the front edge of the wing profile to generate shedding vortices, and under the action of incoming flow, the elliptical wing can be subjected to pulsating pressure in the transverse direction and the flow direction to further trigger vibration, the shedding vortices and wake vortices generated by the vibration interact with a boundary layer of the main wing, so that momentum is introduced into the boundary layer, the capability of the boundary layer in resisting adverse pressure gradient is improved, and the functions of delaying air flow separation, increasing lift and reducing drag are achieved. Meanwhile, as the rear stagnation point of the lifting surface moves backwards, the pressure intensity of the lower surface of the front edge with the elliptical wing configuration is higher than that of the original wing profile, so that the wing profile has better aerodynamic characteristics with a large attack angle; compared with the airfoil without the elliptical wing, the elliptical wing has the advantages that the suppression effect of the elliptical wing on flow separation is obvious, original large separation bubbles on the airfoil completely disappear or become small separation bubbles close to the tail edge of the airfoil, the lift coefficient is improved, the drag coefficient is reduced, and the lift-drag ratio is greatly improved to about 3 times of that of the original airfoil.
The foregoing shows and describes the general principles, essential features, and advantages of the invention. It will be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above, which are described in the specification and illustrated only to illustrate the principle of the present invention, but that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, which fall within the scope of the invention as claimed.
