AERODYNAMIC ANALYSIS OF HELICOPTER SHROUDED TAIL ROTOR BY MOMENTUM THEORY

较详细地研究了涵道尾桨的涵道与内桨的拉力分配关系。文中引入一拉力分配因子ｑ，表示涵道尾桨的涵道拉力与总拉力之比。从动量原理出发，推导出静止（悬停）和轴流（直升机侧风）状态下的涵道尾桨拉力、需用功率与气流速度的关系式，分三种情况对比分析了涵道尾桨与孤立尾桨的拉力、功率和桨盘面积，得出了一些结论。结果表明，虽然在静止状态涵道尾桨的涵道提供的拉力可达总拉力的５０％，但对于轴流状态、涵道尾桨的涵道的拉力增益迅速下降，取决于气流速度比。

In this paper, in order to clarify the gains of the shroud in the shrouded tail rotor system, a thrust division factor q , which represents the ratio of the shroud thrust to the total thrust of the shrouded tail rotor, is introduced. With the help of q , the slipstream theory for the static and axial flow states of the shrouded tail rotor are fully derived. Based on the sliptream theory, the variations of the thrust, power and disk area against q for different cases are emphatically analysed and the comparisons between a shrouded tail rotor and an isolated one are made. It is shown that, although the shroud can provide as much as 50% of the total thrust of shrouded tail rotor for the static state, the thrust gains of the shroud rapidly decrease for the axial flow state, which depends on the flow velocity ratio.
