Abstract

new computational procedure for the Non-Linear Vortex Lattice Method (NLVLM) is suggested in this work. Conventional procedures suggested so far usually involves inner iteration loop to update free vortex shape and an under-relaxation based iteration loop to determine the free vortex shape. In this present work, we suggest a new formula based on quasi-steady concept to fix free vortex shape which eliminates the need for inner iteration loop. Further, the ensemble averaging of the induced velocities for a given free vortex segment evaluated at each iteration significantly improves the convergence property of the algorithm without resorting to the under-relaxation technique. Numerical experiments over several low aspect ratio wings are carried out to obtain optimal empirical parameters such as the length of the free vortex segment, the vortex core radius, and the rolled-up wake length.

본 논문에서는 새로운 비선형 와류격자법 계산 과정이 제안된다. 기존의 계산 과정은 자유와의 형태 계산을 위해 내부 반복계산 및 하향이완법을 포함한다. 하지만 본 논문에서는 유사 정상 개념에 기초한 새로운 수식을 제안하여 자유와의 형태를 계산함으로써, 계산 과정에서 내부 반복계산 및 하향이완법을 생략한다. 또한 반복계산이 진행됨에 따라 각 분절에 유도되는 유속도를 적절히 평균해 줌으로써 알고리듬의 수치적 안정성을 향상시킨다. 그리고 낮은 종횡비 날개에 대한 수치실험을 수행하여 분절의 길이, 와류중심반경, 후류영역 계산범위 등과 같은 중요 인자들의 적절한 기준을 경험적으로 결정한다.
