Abstract EN
The aerodynamic performance analysis and blade planform design of a coaxial rigid rotor in forward flight were carried out utilizing CFD solver CLORNS.
Firstly, the forward flow field characteristics of the coaxial rotor were analyzed.
Shock-induced separation occurs at the advancing side blade tip and severe reverse flow occurs at the retreating side blade root.
Then, the influence of geometrical parameters of the coaxial rigid rotor on forward performance was investigated.
Results show that swept-back tip could reduce the advancing side compressibility drag and elliptic shape of blade planform could optimize the airload distribution at high advance ratio flights.
A kind of blade planform combining swept-back tapered tip and nonlinear chord distribution was optimized to improve the rotor efficiency for a given high-speed level flight based on geometric parameter studies.
The optimized coaxial rotor increases lift-to-drag ratio by 30% under the design conditions.
