翼型前缘微小平板的流动控制方法和数值模拟

提出了一种在翼型前缘前设置微小平板来抑制翼型上流动分离的新方法, 并通过自主研发的计算软件UCFD 对微小平板的流动控制进行了数值模拟. 首先研究了在攻角一定的情况下微小平板的长度、安装角、相对翼型的安装位置等对抑制翼型上流动分离效果的影响; 然后, 采用正交优化方法, 以翼型最大升阻比为优化目标, 得到了该小平板最佳的长度、安装角和安装位置等. 研究结果表明, 微小平板的设置对抑制叶片上的流动分离具有显著效果.

Numerical study of flow separation control by setting small plate in front of leading edge of an airfoil

A flow control method using a small plate in front of the leading edge of a   NACA0012 airfoil to achieve good aerodynamic performance is proposed. Effectiveness of  the proposed method is numerically studied by using a self-developed CFD program called  UCFD. At a certain angle of attack, including of parameters including length, initial installation  angle and installation position of the plate on the control of flow separation over  the airfoil are investigated. The optimal length, initial installation angle and installation  position of the small plate are obtained with an orthogonal optimization method that aims  at maximizing the lift-to-drag ratio. Numerical results suggest that this passive flow control   method can efficiently suppress flow separation.
