Abstract

Prediction methods for a rotor averaged inflow in forward flight are investigated in this study. The investigated methods are Drees linear inflow model, Mangler & Squire model and free vortex wake(FVW) method. Predictions have been performed for a four-blade rotor operating at three different advance ratios i.e. 0.15, 0.23 and 0.30, at which experimental data are available. According to results, Drees model has a limitation for the inflow non-uniformity prediction due to an inherent linear characteristics. Mangler & Squire model has a reasonable accuracy except the disk edge region. KARI FVW method has very good accuracy and has better accuracy than the other FVW method especially in inboard region. However, there are some discrepancies in retreating side due to the dynamic stall effect and in near hub region due to the fuselage upwash effect.

동 연구에서는 전진비행하는 로터의 평균 유입류 예측기법 중 Drees 선형모델, 몇가지 변형된 형태의 Mangler & Squire 모델을 서로 비교하여 각 유입류 모델의 특성을 알아내고, KARI 자체 자유후류기법 코드의 해석결과를 함께 비교하여 각 유입류 예측기법의 특성을 파악하였다. 각 예측기법의 비교를 위해 유입류 실험치가 존재하는 로터에 대하여 전진비 0.15, 0.23 및 0.30의 3가지 비행조건을 적용하여 예측한 결과를 비교 분석하였다. Drees 모델의 경우 비교적 실험치에 근접하게 예측하나, 선형모델의 한계로 인해 유입류의 비균일성을 모델링하기에는 미흡하며, Mangler & Squire 모델은 끝단을 제외하고는 비교적 실험치에 근접하게 예측함을 알 수 있었으며, KARI의 자유후류기법은 유입류의 비균일성을 매우 잘 예측하나, 동체에 의한 올려흐름 효과, 후퇴부에서의 동적실속 효과 등의 추가 고려가 필요함을 알 수 있었다.
