Definitions
- the present application relates to a flow control method and a rotor unit, and particularly to a method for controlling a flow around a rotor blade in which the drive of a plasma actuator can be easily set and a rotor unit.
- the cyclic pitch mechanism is a mechanism that periodically changes the pitch angle of the blades constituting the rotary blade. For example, at an angle position where lift is difficult to obtain, the pitch angle of the blade is increased so that the lift coefficient is increased. I'm in control. However, if the pitch angle of the blade is increased, the airflow flowing along the surface of the blade may be separated and stall. Although the stall of the blade is tolerated to some extent, the effect of the cyclic pitch mechanism cannot be fully exerted when the stall area or period becomes large.
- a plasma actuator is a device that generates plasma by applying a voltage that fluctuates with time to a pair of electrodes.
- a plasma actuator When plasma is generated near the front edge of the blade by a plasma actuator, an air flow is induced or a shock wave is generated near the front edge of the blade. Disturbance caused by this flow or shock wave and spatial / temporal fluctuation of the flow field can suppress the separation of the air flow in the blade and suppress the stall of the blade.
- a fluctuating voltage is often applied intermittently and periodically.
- actuator drive frequency the frequency for driving the plasma actuator
- the relative velocity of air with respect to the blade varies depending on the distance from the center of rotation, and also depends on the velocity and direction of the air coming toward the blade. Therefore, in order to set the actuator drive frequency by the above method, the actuator drive frequency must be set for each electrode pair installation position. In addition, the actuator drive frequency setting must be changed according to the speed and direction of the air coming toward the blade. As described above, the setting method for setting the actuator drive frequency according to the relative velocity of air becomes very complicated.
- the flow control method is a flow control method for controlling the flow around the blade of a rotary blade having a blade provided with a plasma actuator, and is an actuator having a frequency of a voltage applied to the plasma actuator.
- the eigenfrequency ratio which is an eigenvalue of the frequency ratio, which is the ratio between the drive frequency and the eccentricity fluctuation frequency when the interception angle fluctuates according to the rotation angle of the blade, is determined, and the frequency ratio becomes the eigenfrequency ratio.
- the actuator drive frequency is set so as to be such that, and the voltage of the set actuator drive frequency is applied to the plasma actuator to control the flow around the blade.
- the rotary wing unit includes a rotary wing having a blade, a cyclic pitch controller that periodically changes the interception angle at a predetermined interception angle fluctuation frequency according to the rotation angle of the blade, and the blade.
- the plasma actuator is provided with a plasma actuator, and the plasma actuator has an intrinsic frequency in which the frequency ratio, which is the ratio of the actuator drive frequency, which is the frequency of the voltage applied to the plasma actuator, and the interception angle fluctuation frequency is an inherent value.
- a voltage having an actuator drive frequency set to be a ratio is applied to the plasma actuator.
- the actuator drive frequency can be set regardless of the relative speed of air with respect to the blade. Therefore, it is not necessary to set the actuator drive frequency for each installation position of the plasma actuator, and it is not necessary to change the actuator drive frequency setting according to the speed and direction of the air coming toward the blade. Therefore, it is possible to provide a rotary blade unit in which the actuator drive frequency can be easily set and the lift recovery of the blade can be significantly improved.
- the actuator drive frequency can be easily set to greatly improve the lift recovery of the blade.
