  • Study on the Effects of a Wing Dihedral for the Reduction of Sonic Boom Intensity

    TSUDA Takuma, MIYAJI Koji

    <p>The effects of a wing dihedral on sonic boom reduction are systematically studied for a realistic supersonic transport. The LM1021, which was designed in detail by Lockheed Martin Corporation (U.S.A.), is used as the baseline analysis model. The aerodynamic coefficients and near-field pressure signatures are obtained using CFD for inviscid flows, and then the sonic boom intensity on the ground is calculated with the pressure wave propagation analysis by solving the augmented Burger's equation. The ‘Xnoise’ code developed by JAXA is used for the wave propagation analysis. The results clearly show a reduction in the sonic boom intensity not only on the undertrack, but also on the off-track. One representative result is that the pressure peak of the tail boom at the flight Mach number of 1.6 is reduced more than 15% by a 10-deg dihedral compared to a 0-deg dihedral at the cost of a 2% increase in drag. Variations of the lateral/directional static stability are also studied, and the results show improved lateral stability while there are mild directional instabilities caused by the dihedral.</p>

  • Study on the Application of Fast Linear Matrix Solvers for Enhanced Efficiencies of Wing Flutter Analysis

    <p>This study enhances the efficiency and versatility of the flow simulations for moving and deforming bodies that are typically required for fluid-structured interactions such as flutter. Two of critically time-consuming processes are calculations of spatial grid deformations and nearest wall distances for the turbulence models. Both are formulated as elliptic boundary value problems, and the fast matrix solvers for the linear systems are developed and validated. One method is the flexible GMRES and another is the Residual Cutting Method (RCM). Two types of unstructured grids around practical aircraft model known as NASA Common Research Model (CRM) are used to test the developed method. Both GMRES and RCM are at least 4 times faster than the classical Gauss-Seidel method to achieve practical criteria of convergence. Errors of the nearest wall distance by the present method are within 5% except the portions of large curvature, and they have little effects on the flow simulations around CRM for a cruise condition without large-scale flow separations. Flutter simulations for a single wing are also carried out, and the results well predict the onset conditions of the flutter of the wind-tunnel experiment.</p>

  • Prediction of transonic 2D wing flutter using the time-spectral computational fluid dynamics

    <p>A new computation method to predict a transonic wing flutter under the limit-cycle oscillation (LCO) is developed using the time spectral (TS) method. The fluid and structural unknowns at a specified time interval in one cycle of the flutter are obtained by steady-state solutions of the aeroelastic TS equations, and thus higher computational efficiency is expected. Determining the frequency is the key for the flutter prediction, and we propose a method of minimizing the residuals of the fluid equation. The time histories of the plunge and pitch are reconstructed by the discrete Fourier transform, and compared with the existing time marching (TM) method. The effects of the number of harmonics in the TS and the time-step size in the TM are examined for the detailed comparison. The frequency, amplitude, and phase differences between the structural vibration modes all well agree between the two methods for a wide range of flutter speed index. Complex flutter boundaries are also predicted. The TS method is faster to reach the LCO than the TM method for the first vibration mode of the flutter. It is slower for the second vibration mode, but the increase in the computation time is much smaller than the reduction in the first mode. In general, the TS method is particularly advantageous for the prediction near flutter boundaries and is useful for aircraft design.</p>

  • Efficient Implicit Method for a High-Order Flux Reconstruction Approach Using Modified Matrix-Free Defect Correction

    MIYAJI Koji, KOYAMA Hisato

    <p>An efficient implicit time integration method for high-order CFD using the flux reconstruction (FR) approach is studied. The formulation is based on the method called matrix-free defect correction on sub-cells (DECS), which considerably reduces the computational cost of the preconditioned block LU-SGS (BLU-SGS). However, the present method uses the exact FR formulation for the simplified viscous terms in the left-hand-side Jacobian, and it does not explicitly use sub-cell divisions as a result of using the finite-difference formula. The performance of the proposed method is compared with BLU-SGS and DECS. Reductions of the computation time for the convergence are not remarkable, but the slightly improved stability and reduced memory storage suggest the present method as a reliable alternative to the existing methods.</p>

    <p>JAXA and some universities have proposed a hypersonic flight experiment named “HIMICO: High Mach Integrated Control Experiment” using a 1.5-meter class vehicle launched by the S-520 sounding rocket. The experiment aims to establish an integrated control method including the interference between the airframe and engine under the actual Mach 5 flight condition. Two flight experiments are planned step by step to reduce technical risks. Feasibility studies have been conducted by experiments and CFD analysis. This paper reports the summary of the flight test plan and preliminary studies on the vehicle shape, flight trajectory, component design and technical issues.</p>
