Ground effect analysis for unmanned lifting rotor through robust finite state inflow model based on adjoint theorem
Tóm tắt
When helicopter is climbing from the ground or flying close to a solid surface, the flow around the lifting rotor can be strongly affected such that it will become time varying. To control the helicopter when the ground effect presents, a fast and accurate simulation technique is required. Traditional finite state inflow model with ground effect still need numerical integration since it cannot directly give prediction below the disk, and the computation of wake is necessary due to its interaction with ground. To improve the efficiency of the model, the adjoint theorem is adopted such that the wake can be solved with closed form equations. The result in hover condition is validated with Hayden model which is correlated well with the experimental data.
