摘要:

以高空太阳能无人机(UAV)为背景,针对某仿生全翼式太阳能无人机开展了气动数值模拟研究。首先,应用基于改进层流动能模型的雷诺平均Navier-Stokes方程数值模拟方法,对典型低雷诺数机翼进行了数值验证;其次,回顾了某仿生全翼式太阳能无人机的基本设计特征;接着,采用数值模拟方法对该无人机进行了基本气动性能的计算分析;最后,对无人机的横航向性能和方向舵舵效进行了检验性的数值模拟。研究表明:该无人机各部件相互之间流动干扰较小,具有层流分离、转捩和湍流再附等低雷诺数流动特征;其基本气动性能较高 (巡航升阻比大于34,纵向静稳定度约为8%),具有静稳定的横航向性能和较好的方向舵舵效;其仿生全翼式构型是一种较有前景的太阳能无人机布局形式。

Abstract:

Based on solar-powered unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) of high altitude, aerodynamic numerical simulation is carried out for a bionic full-wing typical solar-powered UAV. First, typical low Reynolds wing is calculated and verified by Reynolds-average Navier-Stokes numerical simulation method, which is based on modified laminar kinetic energy model. Second, design features of bionic full-wing typical solar-powered UAV are reviewed. Third, the basic aerodynamic performance of UAV is simulated by numerical simulation method. Finally, directional-lateral performance and rudder efficiency of UAV are calculated and analyzed to gain more comprehensive aerodynamic performance. The research shows that this bionic full-wing typical solar-powered UAV has complex low Reynolds flow features (laminar separation, transition, turbulence reattachment and so on), small flow interference for parts, high basic aerodynamic performance (cruise lift-drag-ratio is greater than 34, the longitudinal static stability is about 8%), static stable directional-lateral performance and great rudder efficiency, and the bionic full-wing type is a promising configuration.

Key words: bionic full-wing type, solar-powered UAV, numerical simulation, low Reynolds, laminar kinetic energy model
