2 Background Over the past several decades, engineers have used a variety of tools for modeling and improving rotor design. An engineering model called a Lifting Line Model with a look up of 2-D airfoil load characteristics look-up table is often used during early stages of design, with empirical corrections for compressibility, and sweep. During a second preliminary stage of design, hybrid CFD + Lifting Line methods would be used. During later detailed design stages, a more accurate CFD based model is used to refine the design. STAR-CCM+ is a valuable tool for this final detailed design. In this work, we show selected examples of three types of rotors, to see how a preliminary and detailed analysis may be done. 2

9 GT-Hybrid CFD Methodology (Preliminary Design Tool) Hybrid Methodology Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) methodology for flow over blades. Lagrangian free wake to model far wake. The near wake is captured inherently in the Navier-Stokes analysis. The far wake and effect of other blades accounted for using wake model. Wake induced velocities are applied as boundary condition on Navier-Stokes domain. Schematic View of the Hybrid Method 9
10 Wake Model (Single Tip Vortex) Lagrangian Free Wake model Single concentrated tip vortex assumption Collection of piece-wise linear bound and trailed vorticities Strength of the vortex elements is set to be equal to the peak bound circulation Vortex shedding point based on centroid of trailed circulation between the tip and location of peak bound circulation Vortex trailed at discrete azimuthal intervals. Vortex elements convected through freestream velocities and wake induced velocities 10
11 11 Vortex core growth using the Bhagwat Leishman (2002) core growth model Vortex Core Modeling Wake behind any lifting surface must be considered as a viscous phenomenon Velocity induced by a vortex with Vatistas (1991) core (n = 2) / r r r r r r r r r r r V n n c n v c a V z z r Re
12 Full Span Wake Model (FSWM) The baseline wake model assumes a single concentrated tip vortex trailing from a region near the blade tip. This assumption would be physically less accurate for rotors in low speed forward flight. Single tip vortex is replaced by user specified multiple vortex segments trailed from all the blades. FSWM is based on vorticity conservation laws. 12
13 Grid Used for Numerical Studies A C-H grid topology is used Allowing flexibility with grid density near surface Better orthogonality and smoothness of grid lines near blunt leading edge of typical rotor blade airfoils Baseline Grid Size 131 x 70 x 45 ~ 0.4 million grid points per blade Wall spacing 1*10-5 chords The far field boundary is located at 9 chords from surface 13

15 Vorticity and Q-criterion Distribution swept-tapered S-76 Planform, at CT/σ=0.09 Near wake is well captured, including the inner wake. Far field wake is smeared due to numerical diffusion because of the coarser grid Starting vortex is also seen 15

32 Summary The aerodynamic behavior of a conventional rotors, anhedral rotors, and coaxial rotors has been studied using two approaches a hybrid Navier-Stokes-free wake solver, and a full wake-capturing approach Comparisons with test data have been done. Anhedral tips produce a more uniform induced velocity. This leads to a more efficient rotor. Coaxial rotors are compact, have reduced swirl losses, and eliminate the need for tail rotor. The performance of upper and lower rotors, for equal and opposite torque, was examined Comparisons of the predicted vortex descent rate and radial contraction rate were also examined 32
33 Conclusions At lower thrust settings, both methods give good agreement with test data As the thrust level increases, the hybrid method tends to underestimate the power required, and overestimate the figure of merit We are in the process of improving the hybrid results using vortex particle methods, improved tip cap grids, and improved treatment of root regions 33
34 Conclusions (Continued) In terms of computational time, the hybrid method is very efficient, requiring 4 to 6 hours of CPU time on a Linux cluster with 72 cores of CPU The wake capturing method is considerably more expensive. For this reason, the hybrid method is well suited for initial design studies where the rotor geometry is parametrically varied, and quick reasonably accurate solutions are essential Once a few promising configurations have been identified, more accurate (but computationally expensive) wake capturing simulations may be done to refine the design. 34
