engines.,Power available is the principal factor.,An adequate power plant is important for carrying out the missions.,We will look at ways of estimating power requirements for a variety of operating conditions.,26,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,High Speed Forward Flight Limitations,As the forward speed increases,advancing side experiences shock effects,retreating side stalls.This limits thrust available.,Vibrations go up,because of the increased dynamic pressure,and increased harmonic content.,Shock Noise goes up.,Fuselage drag increases,and parasite power consumption goes up as V,3,.,We need to understand and accurately predict the air loads in high speed forward flight.,27,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Concluding Remarks,Helicopter aerodynamics is an interesting area.,There are a lot of problems,but there are also opportunities for innovation.,This course is intended to be a starting point for engineers and researchers to explore efficient(low power),safer,comfortable(low vibration),environmentally friendly(low noise)helicopters.,28,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Hover Performance Prediction Methods,I.Momentum Theory,29,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Background,Developed for marine propellers by Rankine(1865),Froude(1885).,Extended to include swirl in the slipstream by Betz(1920),This theory can predict performance in hover,and climb.,We will look at the general case of climb,and extract hover as a special situation with zero climb velocity.,30,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Assumptions,Momentum theory concerns itself with the global balance of mass,momentum,and energy.,It does not concern itself with details of the flow around the blades.,It gives a good representation of what is happening far away from the rotor.,This theory makes a number of simplifying assumptions.,31,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Assumptions(Continued),Rotor is modeled as an actuator disk which adds momentum and energy to the flow.,Flow is incompressible.,Flow is steady,inviscid,irrotational.,Flow is one-dimensional,and uniform through the rotor disk,and in the far wake.,There is no swirl in the wake.,32,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Control Volume is a Cylinder,V,Disk area A,Total area S,Station1,2,3,4,V+v,2,V+v,3,V+v,4,33,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Conservation of Mass,34,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Conservation of Mass through the Rotor Disk,Flow through the rotor disk=,Thus v,2,=v,3,=v,There is no velocity jump across the rotor disk,The quantity v is called induced velocity at the rotor disk,35,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Global Conservation of Momentum,Mass flow rate through the rotor disk times,Excess velocity between stations 1 and 4,36,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Conservation of Momentum at the Rotor Disk,V+v,V+v,p,2,p,3,Due to conservation of mass across the,Rotor disk,there is no velocity jump.,Momentum inflow rate=Momentum outflow rate,Thus,Thrust T=A(p,3,-p,2,),37,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Conservation of Energy,Consider a particle that traverses from,Station 1 to station 4,We can apply Bernoulli equation between,Stations 1 and 2,and between stations 3 and 4.,Recall assumptions that the flow is steady,irrotational,inviscid.,1,2,3,4,V+v,V+v,4,38,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,From an earlier slide#36,Thrust equals mass flow rate,through the rotor disk times excess velocity,between stations 1 and 4,Thus,v=v,4,/2,39,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Induced Velocities,V,V+v,V+2v,The excess velocity in the,Far wake is twice the induced,Velocity at the rotor disk.,To accommodate this excess,Velocity,the stream tube,has to contract.,40,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Induced Velocity at the Rotor Disk,Now we can compute the induced velocity at the,rotor disk in terms of thrust T.,T=Mass flow rate through the rotor disk*(Excess velocity between 1 and 4).,T=2,r,A(V+v)v,There are two solutions.The sign,Corresponds to a wind turbine,where energy,Is removed from the flow.v is negative.,The+sign corresponds to a rotor or,Propeller where energy is added to the flow.,In this case,v is positive.,41,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Induced velocity at the rotor disk,42,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Ideal Power Consumed by the Rotor,In hover,ideal power,43,LSankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Summary,According to momentum theory,the downwash in the far wake is twice the induced velocity at the rotor disk.,Momentum theory gives an expression for induced velocity at the rotor disk.,It also gives an expression for ideal power consumed by a rotor of specified dimensions.,Actual power will be higher,because momentum theory neglected many sources of losses-viscous effects,compressibility(shocks),tip losses,swirl,non-uniform flows,etc.,44,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Figure of Merit,Figure of merit is defined as the ratio of ideal power for a rotor in,hover,obtained from momentum theory and the actual power consumed by the rotor.,For most rotors,it is between 0.7 and 0.8.,45,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Some Observations on Figure of Merit,Because a helicopter spends considerable portions of time in hover,designers attempt to optimize the rotor for hover(FM0.8).,We will discuss how to do this later.,A rotor with a lower figure of merit(FM0.6)is not necessarily a bad rotor.,It has simply been optimized for other conditions(e.g.high speed forward flight).,46,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Example#1,A tilt-rotor aircraft has a gross weight of 60,500 lb.(27500 kg).,The rotor diameter is 38 feet(11.58 m).,Assume FM=0.75,Transmission losses=5%,Compute power needed to hover at sea level on a hot day.,47,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Example#1(Continued),48,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Alternate scenarios,What happens on a hot dayand/or high altitude?,Induced velocity is higher.,Power consumption is higher,What happens if the rotor disk area A is smaller?,Induced velocity and power are higher.,There are practical limits to how large A can be.,49,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Disk Loading,The ratio T/A is called disk loading.,The higher the disk loading,the higher the induced velocity,and the higher the power.,For helicopters,disk loading is between 5 and 10 lb/ft,2,(24 to 48 kg/m,2,).,Tilt-rotor vehicles tend to have a disk loading of 20 to 40 lbf/ft,2,.They are less efficient in hover.,VTOL aircraft have very small fans,and have very high disk loading(500 lb/ft,2,).,50,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Power Loading,The ratio of thrust to power T/P is called the Power Loading.,Pure helicopters have a power loading between 6 to 10 lb/HP.,Tilt-rotors have lower power loading 2 to 6 lb/HP.,VTOL vehicles have the lowest power loading less than 2 lb/HP.,51,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Non-Dimensional Forms,52,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Non-dimensional forms.,53,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Tip Losses,R,A portion of the rotor near the,Tip does not produce much lift,Due to leakage of air from,The bottom of the disk to the top.,One can crudely account for it by,Using a smaller,modified radius,BR,where,BR,B=Number of blades.,54,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Power Consumption in HoverIncluding Tip Losses.,55,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Hover PerformancePrediction Methods,II.Blade Element Theory,56,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Preliminary Remarks,Momentum theory gives rapid,back-of-the-envelope estimates of Power.,This approach is sufficient to size a rotor(i.e.select the disk area)for a given power plant(engine),and a given gross weight.,This approach is not,adequate,for designing the rotor.,57,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Drawbacks of Momentum Theory,It does not take into account,Number of blades,Airfoil characteristics(lift,drag,angle of zero lift),Blade planform(taper,sweep,root cut-out),Blade twist distribution,Compressibility effects,58,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Blade Element Theory,Blade Element Theory rectifies many of these drawbacks.First proposed by Drzwiecki in 1892.,It is a“strip”theory.The blade is divided into a number of strips,of width,D,r.,The lift generated by that strip,and the power consumed by that strip,are computed using 2-D airfoil aerodynamics.,The contributions from all the strips from all the blades are summed up to get total thrust,and total power.,59,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Typical Blade Section(Strip),R,dr,r,dT,Root Cut-out,60,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Typical Airfoil Section,W,r,V+v,Line of Zero Lift,q,f,a,effective,=,q-f,61,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Sectional Forces,Once the effective angle of attack is known,we can look-up,the lift and drag coefficients for the airfoil section at that strip.,We can subsequently compute sectional lift and drag forces,per foot(or meter)of span.,These forces will be normal to and along,the total velocity vector.,U,T,=,w,r,U,P,=,V+v,62,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Rotation of Forces,W,r,V+v,D,L,D,D,D,T,D,F,x,63,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Approximate Expressions,The integration(or summation of forces)can only be done numerically.,A spreadsheet may be designed.A sample spreadsheet is being provided as part of the course notes.,In some simple cases,analytical expressions may be obtained.,64,L.Sankar Helicopter Aerodynamics,Closed Form Integrations,The chord c is constant.Simple linear twist.,The inflow velocity v and climb velocity V are
