DFDC Airfoil Type

The DFDC Airfoil type is very similar to the XROTOR airfoil type, but includes additions for cascade corrections based on stagger and solidity. The cascade corrections aren't particularly accurate, but they do apply ballpark effects resulting from high solidity blade sections. The main benefit to this airfoil type is its simplicity and that the post-stall behavior is already in a format allowing more robust convergence of the DuctAPE solvers.

Cascade Types

Warning

Cascade types are currently in development and not ready for general use.

Cascade types are defined analogous to CCBlade airfoil types. Instead of angle of attack, however, cascade types take in both inflow and stagger angles. In addition, cascade types are dependent on local solidity.

DuctAPE.C4Blade.InReStSoMaCASType
InReStSoMaCAS(inflow, Re, stagger, solidity, Mach, cl, cd, info)
 InReStSoMaCAS(inflow, Re, stagger, solidity, Mach, cl, cd)
-InReStSoMaCAS(filenames::Matrix{String}; radians=true)

Data is fit recursively with Akima splines.

Arguments:

  • inflow::Vector{Float64}: inflow angles
  • Re::Vector{Float64}: Reynolds numbers
  • stagger::Vector{Float64}: stagger angles
  • solidity::Vector{Float64}: local solidity
  • Mach::Vector{Float64}: Mach numbers
  • cl::Array{Float64}: lift coefficients where cl[i, j, k, ell] corresponds to stagger[i], Re[j], Mach[k], solidity[ell]
  • cd::Array{Float64}: drag coefficients where cd[i, j, k, ell] corresponds to stagger[i], Re[j], Mach[k], solidity[ell]
  • info::String: a description of this airfoil data (just informational)

or files with one per Re/Stagger/Solidty/Mach combination

Arguments:

  • filenames::Matrix{String}: name/path of files to read in. filenames[i, j, k, ell] corresponds to Re[i] Stagger[j] Stagger[k] and Solidity[k] with each in ascending order.

Circumventing the Automated Geometry Re-paneling

It is not advised to circument the automated geometry re-paneling, but if it must be done, the user needs to provide duct, centerbody, and wake nodes conforming to compatible geometry formatting. The best use case for this is to use previously generated geometry or perhaps geometry exported from DFDC.

The process is not simple, but is possible. You would have to manually run the dispatches of precompute_parameters that take in the the repaneled body nodes and wake grid. These dispatches exist for this purpose, but there is, by design, no convenience functions at this time to aid the user in easily bypassing the automated repaneling.

There are three main sub-option objects for quadrature, wake geometry solver, and aerodyanmic solver; these are explained in more detail below. In addition, there are various options for pre- and post-processing as well as miscellaneous options for things such as supressing warnings and printing verbose statements throughout the analysis, which can be seen in the docstring above.

Quadrature

There are several implementations for different quadrature approaches depending on user desires; they include:

The default method is Gauss-Legendre quadrature using 8 sample points for both the nominal and singular integrals. To modify the quadrature methods and settings, an IntegrationOptions struct needs to be passed to the set_options method.

Elliptic Grid Solvers

As part of the pre-process, an elliptic grid defining the wake geometry is solved with a system of Poisson equations. For this solve there currently two options:

The SLOR (successive line over relaxation) is the method employed by DFDC, and can be used by itself, or as a preconditioner to a Newton solve (using NLsolve.jl).

Selection of solver and solver settings follows the same pattern as with the quadrature settings, in that the user must pass the appropriate GridSolverOptionsType into the set_options call.

Composite type containing the rotor(s) geometric properties.

Note that the actual struct requires the inputs to be arrays, but there is a constructor function that will take in scalars and automatically build the array-based struct.

Arguments

  • B::AbstractVector{Float} : The number of blades for each rotor. May not be an integer, but usually is.
  • rotorzloc::AbstractVector{Float} : Dimensional, axial position of each rotor.
  • r::AbstractArray{Float} : Non-dimensional radial locations of each blade element.
  • Rhub::AbstractVector{Float} : Dimensional hub radius of rotor. (may be changed if it does not match the radial position of the centerbody geometry at the selected rotorzloc.

Constants used in re-paneling geometry.

Note that unlike other input structures, this one, in general, does not define fields as vectors. This is because these values should not change throughout an optimization, even if the geometry may change. Otherwise, discontinuities could be experienced.

Arguments

Specifically, the number of panels between the rotors, between the last rotor and the first body trailing edge, between the body trailing edges (if different), and between the last body trailing edge and the end of the wake. The length of this vector should be N+1 (where N is the number of rotors) if the duct and centerbody trailing edges are aligned, and N+2 if not.
  • dte_minus_cbte::Float : An indicator concerning the hub and duct trailing edge relative locations. Should be set to -1 if the duct trailing edge axial position minus the centerbody trailing edge axial position is negative, +1 if positive (though any positive or negative number will suffice), and zero if the trailing edges are aligned.
  • nwake_sheets::Int : The number of wake sheets to use. Note this will also be setting the number of blade elements to use.
  • wake_length::Float=1.0 : Non-dimensional (based on the length from the foremost body leading edge and the aftmost body trailing edge) length of the wake extending behind the aftmost body trailing edge.

Getting Started

The following is a basic tutorial on how to set up the inputs to, and run, an analysis of a ducted fan in DuctAPE.

We begin by loading the package, and optionally create a shorthand name.

using DuctAPE
-const dt = DuctAPE

Assemble Inputs

The next step is to create the input object of type Propulsor.

DuctAPE.PropulsorType
Propulsor(duct_coordinates, centerbody_coordinates, rotorstator_parameters, operating_point, paneling_constants, reference_parameters)

Arguments

  • duct_coordinates::AbstractMatrix : The [z, r] coordinates of the duct geometry beginning at the inner (casing) side trailing edge and proceeding clockwise. Note that the duct geometry absolute radial position does not need to be included here if the autoshiftduct option is selected.
  • centerbody_coordinates::AbstractMatrix : The [z, r] coordinates of the centerbody beginning at the leading edge and ending at the trailing edge. Note that the leading edge is assumed to be placed at a radial distance of 0.0 from the axis of rotation.
  • operating_point::OperatingPoint : The operating point values.
  • paneling_constants::PanelingConstants : Constants used in re-paneling the geometry.
  • rotorstator_parameters::RotorStatorParameters : Rotor (and possibly stator) geometric paramters.
  • reference_parameters::ReferenceParameters : Reference Parameters.

Composite type containing the rotor(s) geometric properties.

Note that the actual struct requires the inputs to be arrays, but there is a constructor function that will take in scalars and automatically build the array-based struct.

Arguments

  • B::AbstractVector{Float} : The number of blades for each rotor. May not be an integer, but usually is.
  • rotorzloc::AbstractVector{Float} : Dimensional, axial position of each rotor.
  • r::AbstractArray{Float} : Non-dimensional radial locations of each blade element.
  • Rhub::AbstractVector{Float} : Dimensional hub radius of rotor. (may be changed if it does not match the radial position of the centerbody geometry at the selected rotorzloc.
  • Rtip::AbstractVector{Float} : Dimensional tip radius of rotor. Is used to determine the radial position of the duct if the autoshiftduct option is selected.
  • chords::AbstractArray{Float} : Dimensional chord lengths of the blade elements.
  • twists::AbstractArray{Float} : Blade element angles, in radians.
  • tip_gap::AbstractVector{Float} : Currently unused, do not set to anything other than zeros.

Airfoils

Airfoil types for DuctAPE are currently contained in the C4Blade (Cascade Compatible CCBlade) sub-module of DuctAPE which is exported as c4b and also contains the various airfoil evaluation functions used for the blade element lookups. The available airfoil types include all the airfoil types from CCBlade, as well as DFDCairfoil which is an XROTOR-like parametric cascade polar used in DFDC. In addition there are untested cascade types with similar structure to CCBlades airfoil types called DTCascade. Furthermore, there is an experimental actuator disk model implemented via the ADM airfoil type in C4Blade.

Operating Point

Next we will assemble the operating point which contains information about the freestream as well as the rotor rotation rate(s).

DuctAPE.OperatingPointType
OperatingPoint(Vinf, rhoinf, muinf, asound, Omega)

Propulsor operating point information.

Note that the actual struct requires the inputs to be arrays, but there is a constructor function that will take in scalars and automatically build the array-based struct.

Also note that even though each field is required to be a vector, only Omega should have more than one entry, and only then if there are more than one rotor. The purpose behind having vector rather than constant scalar inputs here is for ease of redefinition in an optimization setting when freestream design variables may be present.

Arguments

Constants used in re-paneling geometry.

Note that unlike other input structures, this one, in general, does not define fields as vectors. This is because these values should not change throughout an optimization, even if the geometry may change. Otherwise, discontinuities could be experienced.

Arguments

  • nduct_inlet::Int : The number of panels to use for the duct inlet (this number is used for both the casing and nacelle re-paneling)
  • ncenterbody_inlet::Int : The number of panels to use for the centerbody inlet.

Specifically, the number of panels between the rotors, between the last rotor and the first body trailing edge, between the body trailing edges (if different), and between the last body trailing edge and the end of the wake. The length of this vector should be N+1 (where N is the number of rotors) if the duct and centerbody trailing edges are aligned, and N+2 if not.
  • dte_minus_cbte::Float : An indicator concerning the hub and duct trailing edge relative locations. Should be set to -1 if the duct trailing edge axial position minus the centerbody trailing edge axial position is negative, +1 if positive (though any positive or negative number will suffice), and zero if the trailing edges are aligned.
  • nwake_sheets::Int : The number of wake sheets to use. Note this will also be setting the number of blade elements to use.

Run a Single Analysis

With the propulsor input build, and the options selected, we are now ready to run an analysis. This is done simply with the analyze function which dispatches the appropriate analysis, solve, and post-processing functions based on the selected options.

DuctAPE.analyzeMethod
analyze(
     propulsor::Propulsor,
     options::Options=set_options();
     prepost_container_caching=nothing,
     solve_parameter_caching=nothing,
     solve_container_caching=nothing,
     return_inputs=false,
-)

Analyze propulsor, including preprocessing.

Arguments

  • propulsor::Propulsor : Propulsor input object (see docstring for Propulsor type)
  • options::Options=set_options() : Options object (see set_options and related functions)

Keyword Arguments

  • prepost_container_caching=nothing : Output of allocate_prepost_container_cache
  • solve_parameter_caching=nothing : Output of allocate_solve_parameter_container_cache
  • solve_container_caching=nothing : Output of allocate_solve_container_cache
  • return_inputs=false : flag as to whether or not to return the pre-processed inputs

Returns

  • outs::NamedTuple : Named Tuple of various analysis outputs (see docstring for postprocess for details), note, if linear system decomposition fails, no solve is performed and an empty vector is returned.
  • ins::NamedTuple : Named Tuple of various pre-processed inputs (e.g. panels and body linear system), will only be returned if return_inputs=true
  • convergence_flag : Flag for successful solve convergence

Run a Multi-Point Analysis

In the case that one wants to run the same geometry at several different operating points, for example: for a range of advance ratios, there is another dispatch of the analyze function that takes in an input, multipoint, that is a vector of operating points.

DuctAPE.jl [Ducted Axisymmetric Propulsor Evaluation]

Authors: Judd Mehr,

Contributers: Taylor McDonnell,

DuctAPE is a code for the aerodynamic evaluation of axisymmetric ducted propulsors designed for incompressible (low mach) applications. It is strongly influenced by the underlying theory of Ducted Fan Design Code (DFDC), utilizing a linear axisymmetric vortex panel method for duct and center body, blade element lifting line rotor representation, and wake model axisymmetrically smeared onto an elliptic grid for efficient computation. DuctAPE has been developed specifically for applications in gradient-based optimization settings.
