Aerodynamics and Flight Mechanics

Goal: Improve the safety of aircraft in icing conditions.

Objective: 1) Develop steady state icing characterization methods and identify aerodynamic sensors.

2) Develop linear and nonlinear iced aircraft models.

3) Identify envelope protection needs and methods.

Approach: First use Twin Otter and tunnel data to develop a linear clean and iced model. Then develop a nonlinear model with tunnel and CFD data. Use the models to develop characterization and envelope protection.

• To nondimensionalize the ∆Cd equation, a reference condition was chosen based on FAA Appendix C Maximum Continuous conditions.

• NACA 0012 c = 3 ft.

MVD = 20 µm V∞ = 175 knots LWC = 0.65 g/m3 t = 10 min

T0 = 25 °F

• These conditions yielded a ∆Cd = 0.0239 at ηice=1

Neural Networks

• Based on the structure of the human brain, with multiple neurons and synapses

• Each neuron multiplies its inputs by “synaptic weights” to achieve an output

• Very good at handling and fitting data that have complex, nonlinear correlations

• Must be trained with a set of known data

• For the SIS Project, the Matlab Neural Net Toolbox has been used

Need for DES

• RANS does not give robust solution to massively separated flow and this may prevent accurate prediction of Cl,max (especially for iced airfoils)

• Solution: Employ eddy-capturing scheme to handle large-separation regions

• Possible Choices:– LES (Large Eddy Simulation) uses subgrid filter to

capture large scales– DNS (Direct Numerical Simulation) resolves all scales– DES (Detached Eddy Simulation) allows LES in free

shear regions and RANS in attached flow

Conclusions

• NSU2D reasonably predicts the trends of all the aerodynamic forces and moments for upper surface icing on NACA 23012m and NLF 0414 (but C l,max not robust)

• WIND-RANS predictions agree reasonably well with experimental results for leading-edge icing for NLF 0414

• WIND-DES has been developed and captures the coherent structures in the free shear layer for backstep flow

Future Work

• Apply WIND-RANS to 2D ice-shapes on other airfoils (in particular the Twin Otter wing and tailplane) for the 2D aerodynamic net database

• Extend WIND-RANS to 3D iced wings for the 3D aerodynamic net database

• Apply WIND-DES to iced airfoils and wings to allow improved C l,max and predict unsteady hinge moments

• (Far term) Apply WIND-DES to simultaneously model wing and tail with unsteady ice accretion

Atmospheric Turbulence and Noise

• The turbulence model used in the FDC 1.3 steady state analysis is based on the Dryden spectral density distribution

• Turbulence intensity can be varied and are characterized by the effect on the aircraft z-acceleration

• Sensor noise magnitudes are twice the uncertainty values given in AIAA 93-0398 and are modeled as band limited white Gaussian distributions

• The effects of turbulence provide an overlap between the quasi-steady characterization and the dynamic characterization

Effects of Filtering

• Filters are applied to data obtained from the constant power cruise flight conditions, in the clean and iced configurations. The initial trim values for the Twin Otter are:

• V = 160 kts

• h = 9000 ft

• A/C RMS z-acceleration = 0.15g

• The data, sampled at variable time steps, is post-filtered using low-pass Butterworth filters

Hinge Moment Models

• Models are used in simulations to study the potential use of hinge moment sensors as aerodynamic performance monitors

• Ch and Ch_rms capture the effects of icing on the flow field over the airfoil surface.

• Ch_rms is the RMS of the unsteady hinge moment, which is a measure of flow field separation due to ice accretion

• Models based on hinge moment measurements taken at UIUC on a NACA 23012 airfoil with quarter round ice-shapes (AIAA 99-3149)

• Models are based on limited experimental hinge moment data.

• Ch and Ch_rms models are a functions of angle of attack, elevator deflection and icing parameter, η

• Hinge moment models do not include the effect of control surface mass.

Determining Ice Location

• An analysis of the aerodynamic outputs shows the difficulty in determining the location of ice – the tail ice encounter resembles a less severe all aircraft icing encounter

• The increase in drag due to ice accretion dominate the aerodynamic outputs in both tail and all aircraft iced cases

• The η values used for the tail is based on the Twin Otter horizontal tail chord length of 4.75 ft. A linearized relationship between the wing and tail icing severity parameter is used

• A constant power, constant altitude scenario, maintained by the autopilot, was considered

• V = 155 kts• h = 7550 ft• A/C RMS z-acceleration = 0.15g

Conclusion

• Use of ηice parameter provides a simple model to determine iced aircraft data

• Effect of ice on V, α, and δe for the constant power case are significant, and could be used to characterize the accretion

• Effects of turbulence and sensor noise can be filtered.

• Flight maneuvers increase the apparent effects of ice and improve the potential for ice detection

• The use of hinge-moment data to distinguish tail from wing ice is encouraging

Introduction

• Concerns about false alarms in the Smart Icing System were raised at Reno 2000

• Since the effects of windshear and other atmospheric disturbances may be similar to icing, false alarms in the Smart Icing System could possibly occur

• The SIS should be able to distinguish quickly between the icing and atmospheric disturbances so appropriate recovery maneuvers can be executed

• Preliminary analysis of the effects of microbursts will determine if further research is required

Comparision

• A FDC trajectory was compared to results from, Target Pitch Angle for the Microburst Escape Maneuver by S. Mulgund and R. Stengel, JoA, 1993

• Due to current limitations in the FDC the exact aircraft maneuver could not be simulated

• Both aircraft were light twin-turboprops• Instead of a Target Pitch Angle (TPA) escape

maneuver a maximum power maneuver was used

Comparison to an Icing Case

• Microburst rates of change were larger than the worst icing case initially, but after a long icing encounter the rates were comparable

• These large differences sould make it straightforward to distinguish between icing and wind shear encounters

• Altitude is maintained for the icing case, but not in the microburst case

• In addition dynamic identification data would be available to help identify windshear as well

Smart Icing Systems NASA Review, June 13-14, 2000

2-113

Conclusions

• Initial analysis of the microbursts demonstrated that the encounters would be distinguishable

• Effects are similar but of different magnitude or occur at different times (late in the encounter)

• Different strategies for recovery needed– Very important not to misinterpret the encounter

• Still need to address the gravity waves and other atmospheric disturbances

Future Work

• Validate the FDC windshear model • Add icing to the windshear encounters

• Possibly develop a windshear neural network to detect windshear

• Analyze the effect other atmospheric encounters, gravity waves, etc– Need a simple model for gravity waves

Conclusions

• Linear icing effects model, ηice, is almost finalized• Initial results from neural net analysis for prediction of

2-D flight performance parameters are promising• Effect of ice on V, α, and δe for the constant power case

are significant, and could be used to characterize the accretion.

• The use of hinge-moment data to distinguish tail from wing ice is encouraging.

• CFD reasonably predicts important trends. Moving to WIND-DES for better max lift prediction.

• Initial analysis of the microbursts demonstrated that the encounters would be distinguishable.
