Abstract

The flapping characteristics and advance ratios at torque equilibrium state of autorotation were investigated when the airspeed, shaft angle, and pitch angle were varied. To simulate the airspeed increase, the aerodynamic data analyzed by using the compressible Navier-Stokes solver and Pitt/Peters inflow theory were used. Transient Simulation Method(TSM) was used to catch the torque equilibrium states. The maximum flapping angles at torque equilibrium state were correlated to the airspeed, shaft angle, and pitch angle. By comparing flapping behavior to the variation of advance ratio, the phenomenon that the extension of reverse flow area of retreating blade affects the characteristics of autorotation was qualitatively considered.

속도와 샤프트각 그리고 피치 변화에 따른 토크 평형상태의 자동회전에서 플래핑 거동 특성과 전진비의 변화를 조사하였다. 속도 증가에 따른 압축성 효과를 모사하기 위해 압축성 Navier-Stokes 솔버로 해석된 2차원 데이터를 Pitt/Peters 유도흐름 이론과 함께 사용하였고 토크 평형상태에 대한 세 변수의 조합을 찾기 위해 과도모사법(TSM)을 이용하였다. 토크 평형상태에서 최대 플래핑각을 속도, 샤프트각, 피치와의 관계로 나타내고 전진비 변화와 비교함으로써 후진깃의 역풍영역 확대가 로터의 자동회전 특성에 관여하는 현상을 정성적으로 고찰하였다.
