Abstract

Performance analysis was performed for an autorotating rotor. For a given airspeed, shaft angle, and collective pitch, the steady state of autorotation was judged by using the transient simulation method(TSM), then the thrust, lift, and drag coefficient for that state were computed. Average thrust was calculated from the instantaneous thrusts, in which the TSM was used in blade thrust integration. The analysis method was applied to the model rotor that had been tested by wind tunnel. Some comparison between analysis and test was provided. Two types of two-dimensional airfoil aerodynamic data were utilized in analysis, and they were made by Navier-Stokes Solver in terms of Reynolds and Reynolds-Mach number. The quantitative difference of results using two data set was examined and compared.

자동회전하는 로터의 성능 해석이 수행되었다. 과도모사법에 의해 주어진 속도와 샤프트각, 그리고 콜렉티브 피치 조건에서 정상 자동회전 상태를 판정한 후 정상 자동회전에 대한 추력계수와 양, 항력계수를 계산하는 방법을 연구하였다. BET 기반으로 적분된 순간추력으로부터 평균추력을 구하는 방법을 고찰하였다. 해석 기법을 풍동 실험된 로터에 적용하여 모델 로터를 해석한 후 실험 결과와 비교하였다. 해석에는 레이놀즈수 및 레이놀즈수-마하수의 함수로 Navier-Stokes 해석된 두 종류의 2차원 에어포일 공력 데이터를 사용하였고, 그 차이는 정량적으로 비교 분석되었다.
