Abstract

Numerical analysis has been performed to investigate the rotor speed and pitch range variations when the airspeed is increased in autorotation. Transient Simulation Method(TSM) was used to obtain the steady states of autorotation. The rotor blade was analyzed by the two-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes solver in order to adapt to the airspeed increase and the results were used in the transient simulation method. Meanwhile, the Pitt/Peters inflow theory was used to supply the induced velocity fields. For the prescribed torque equilibrium state, the combinations of velocity, shaft angle, and pitch angle were produced to investigate the rotor speeds and variable ranges. The rotor tip Mach number and rotor speed were correlated and the trim range of pitch angle was observed with respect to the shaft angle decrease.

자동회전 상태로 속도 증가 시 로터 속도의 변화와 피치 범위를 조사하기 위하여 수치 해석을 수행하였다. 정상 자동회전 상태를 구하기 위하여 과도모사법(Transient Simulation Method:TSM)을 사용하였다. 풍속의 증가에 대응하기 위하여 로터 블레이드를 2차원 압축성 Navier-Stokes 솔버로 해석하여 공력계수를 계산하였고 이를 과도모사법에 사용하였으며 유도 속도장 변화를 모사하기 위하여 Pitt/Peters 유도속도 이론을 적용하였다. 설정된 토크 평형 조건에서 풍속, 샤프트각, 피치각의 조합을 출력하여 로터의 회전속도와 변수의 범위를 조사하였다. 깃 끝 마하수의 변화에 따른 로터 회전속도의 변화를 살펴보았고 샤프트각의 감소에 따른 피치각의 트림 범위를 고찰하였다.
