      Abstract:It is computationally intensive and time-consuming to perform a large number of CFD simulations in the process of airfoil optimization. This paper develops an airfoil inverse design method using the proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and back propagation based neural network (BPNN). The optimization process of this method is as follows: First a sample set of airfoil shapes in the design space are generated through Hicks-Henne parameterization, and the flow fields of the sample airfoils are solved by Xfoil and Fluent. Then two POD models of the airfoil pressure coefficients and the geometric shapes are respectively built, and the corresponding base modal coefficients are obtained. Finally, the BPNN is used to map the base modal coefficients of the pressure coefficients to the base modal coefficients of the geometric shapes, in order to achieve rapid prediction of the specified geometric shape under a given pressure coefficient distribution. The results of the test example at subsonic and transonic shows: a two-layer POD+BPNN model based on 200 samples can realize the prediction of the airfoil with target pressure coefficient distribution, and meet the precision requirement of airfoil inverse design.

      Abstract:The wind tunnel sidewall boundary layer needs to be controlled since the sidewall interference in the wind tunnel test of the large-thickness airfoil is serious. In this paper,passive vortex generators(VG)are used at first time to control the sidewall interference effect on the large-thickness airfoil FX77-W-400,and two VG-based side?walls interference control configurations are proposed,i.e. sidewall VG and airfoil VG. The effects of the VG installation position on the airfoil aerodynamic performance and pressure field details are studied,and the proper orthogonal decomposition(POD)is used to study the airfoil surface pressure field structure. The research shows that:the passive VG used in this work can effectively control the sidewall interference. The peak suction of the air?foil surface is affected by sidewall VG and airfoil VG. There is a significant linear correlation between the lift coefficient and the peak suction within the scope of this study. The sidewall interference control method used in this work maintains the main structure of the reference airfoil surface flow. The research is of certain guiding significance for the wind tunnel test and theoretical research.

      Abstract:Combining the existing slitting tip extension with the noise reduction technique proposed in this paper,based on the 30P30N multi-segment aerofoil, unsteady flow of three-dimensional airfoil structure is simulate by DDES algorithm. Firstly, the pressure and vorticity transient parameters of the model are obtained. And then, the sound pressure level and directivity are studied by FW-H integration method to study the effects of slat cusp geometric extensions on the surrounding flow field and noise characteristics. Finally, based on the instantaneous vortex structure analysis method of ,the generation and evolvement of flow structures in slat cove and corresponding noise distributions are investigated for various extensions. The investigation shows, cusp extension can effectively change the distribution of parameters of slat flow. Among which, extensions along the sheer layer can reduce the strength of turbulence kinetic energy in slat cove and decrease the characteristic dimension of vortices of separating flow, as a result, suppressing the radiation of slat noise (narrow band noise can be reduced by 3dB in low frequencies).

      Abstract:When heavy equipment are airdropped, the cabin cross-section is largely blocked, and rapid moving of heavy equipment will cause drastic changes in cabin pressure and even damage the health of cabin crew. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out numerical simulation of the pressure change in the airdrop cabin of the transport aircraft, and to lay a foundation for further research. In this paper, the fluid-solid coupling problem of variable acceleration linear motion in x direction under the combined action of traction pull of parachute, gravity, friction and aerodynamic force in the cabin of transport aircraft is taken as the research object, based on the motion overset grid. Numerical simulation of dynamic pressure variation in the forward compartment of a transport aircraft with heavy load airdrop is carried out. The results show that:(1) the closer the airdrop object from the frontal wall cabin, the higher the flow velocity and the bigger the degree of cabin cross-section blockage, the bigger the dynamic pressure change in cabin, and vice versa. (2) In the wind tunnel test, non-dimensional cabin pressure with reference of the front cabin pressure at the airdrop beginning is the most accurate and appropriate cabin pressure similarity criterion.

Finally, an optimization design test was carried out on the aerodynamic optimization design problem of the RAE2822 airfoil. The optimization results show that the robustness design strategy of the airfoil proposed in this paper is feasible. After optimization, the aerodynamic characteristics of the airfoil are improved in a wide range of design, achieving the purpose of robust optimization.

      Abstract:The sonic boom problem is a great barrier to the application of supersonic aircraft,and the accurate sonic boom prediction method is the key of the sonic boom problem. Waveform parameter method and augmented Burgers equation method are frequently used for the sonic boom prediction. Compared with the waveform parameter method,the augmented Burgers equation method has more complicated model and higher prediction accuracy. To solve the augmented Burgers equation,an effective nonlinear effect solving method is put forward. A far-field sonic boom signature prediction method based on operator splitting method is established,and verified with examples provided by Second Sonic Boom Prediction Workshop(SBPW-2). The influence of time,space grid density and buffer signal on prediction results are analyzed. The results show that it is unnecessary for the sonic boom solving method to get the required grid density while time and space grid is converged,but to select the suitable grid density ac?cording to practical accuracy demand. The buffer signature does not seem to be necessary for small aircraft such as corporate ones,but for bigger aircraft the buffer signature is essential

      Abstract:As an ideal green vehicle, electric aircraft is expected to be widely used in the future. It is a very complicated process for an airplane to run from acceleration to flight to a safe altitude. When calculating the take-off performance of an electric aircraft, it is found that the take-off distance obtained by the approximately uniform acceleration simulation model is always smaller than the actual take-off distance. In order to accurately calculate the take-off performance of electric aircraft, a simulation model of the complete take-off process was established in MATLAB and the error between the model and the actual take-off process was analyzed. By analyzing the change law of acceleration and speed during the take-off process of electric aircraft, a modification function was introduced to modify the Speed in the model. Taking an electric aircraft takeoff performance calculation as an example, the model before and after the modification is used to simulate the takeoff process and compare the calculation results with the flight test data. The results show that the accuracy of the modified model is better than the simulation model before modification, and the simulation results of the revised model are basically consistent with the results of the aircraft flight test.

      Abstract:Compared with fixed wings, retractable wings can effectively reduce the waste of aircraft missile bay. The reliability reduction will become a problem that cannot be ignored due to the existence of the kinematic mechanism of the telescopic wing. In order to explore the reliability of the new mechanism, this paper calculates the positioning reliability of a certain type of telescopic wing deployment mechanism from a theoretical perspective, uses Adams to simulate the deployment process of the telescopic wing, combines the Adams/Insight module to calculate the clamping reliability under the friction force, analyzes the reasons for the clamping failure of the telescopic wing. The results show that the presence of foreign matter will significantly reduce the positioning reliability of the telescopic wing, and the main reason for the reduced jamming reliability is the additional torque generated by the upper and lower wing springs at the center of mass of the upper wing.

Compared with air cooling, the use of the liquid cooling to cool the device has better heat dissipation effect, so the thermal characteristics of the liquid cooling system need to be simulated and calculated. Taking a certain type of airborne liquid cooling as an example, the theoretical calculation model of heat transfer of the main components (such as liquid storage tank, gear pump, radiator, etc.) was established, and the temperature under -40℃~40℃ was simulated and analyzed.
