Research was carried out in different ways. First,tests were conducted in the wind tunnel. And numerical simulation was performed on the basis of tests. Results from calculation were consistent with tests,indicating that numerical method could help evaluate characteristics of airfoils. Then the results were confirmed by compared with empirical data. The study also showed that the determining factor of lift is not only the thickness ratio,but the angle of attack,the relative camber and the camber line. The thickness ratio appears to have little effect on lift coefficient at zero angle of attack,since the angle of zero lift is largely determined by the airfoil camber. According to the research,numerical simulation can be used to determine the aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils in different environment such as in the dusty or humid air.展开更多

The passage is formed with two parallel panels, one is rigid and the other is flexible. The interaction between fluid flows and flexible panel is numerically studied, mainly focused on the effect of dynamic pressure and distance between two parallel panels. Subcycling and spline interpolation based predict-correct scheme is utilized to combine the vibration and fluid analysis and to stabilize long-term calculations to get accurate results. It’s demonstrated that the flutter characteristic of flexible panel is more complex with the increase of dynamic pressure and the decrease of distance between two parallel panels. Via analyzing the propagation and reflection of disturbance in passage, it’s determined as a main cause of the variations.展开更多

Because the flight states of general aviation aircraft vary significantly. A Fowler flap with a double-sliding track has been designed, which is ca- pable of changing airfoil camber while cruising and climbing as well as meeting low-speed performance requirements. The aerodynamic characteristics of the variable camber Fowler flap were studied by computational simulation, and cambering was found to be beneficial for improving the lift-to-drag ratio when the lift coefficient was larger than the critical value, below which decambering was more effective; this critical value differed somewhat under different conditions. Taking the mecha- nism into account, the take-off and landing configurations were optimized on the basis of the GA （W）-1 airfoil with a 30% chord Fowler flap. Compared with reference configuration, the maximum lift coefficient of optimized take-off configuration was increased by 6.6% as well as the stalling angle and the lift-to-drag ratio were increased by 1.3° and 7.58%, respectively. Moreover, the maximum lift coefficient of the optimized landing configuration was increased by 6.3%, and the stalling angle was increased by 1.1°; however, the nose-down pitching moment of both configurations increased.
