A Semi-empirical Approach to Simulate the Effects of Higher Harmonic Rotor Blade Control Using Prescribed Wake-Application in a Comprehensive Rotor Code and Validation with HART II Data

並列摘要


To account for the effect of higher harmonic rotor blade control (HHC) on the wake geometry and hence on blade-vortex interaction (BVI) locations, free-wake methods are regularly used within comprehensive rotor simulation environments. Prescribed wake formulations are much faster than freewake codes, but they require simplified á priori information of the induced velocity field within the rotor disk to compute the wake perturbations generated by them. In this paper, a semi-empirical approach to account for the effects of HHC on the prescribed wake geometry is described and validated against data from the 2nd HHC Aeroacoustic Rotor Test (HART II). This covers the computation of the global induced velocity perturbations due to HHC from the blade loading time histories, the computation of the wake geometry perturbations due to these (both are performed within DLR's high resolution comprehensive rotor code S4), and finally the noise radiation using DLR's acoustic code APSIM. The results have first been presented at the American Helicopter Society 65th Annual Forum, Grapevine, Texas, May 27-29, 2009.
