CFD를 이용한 추진식 프로펠러 항공기의 Power-on 효과 해석

초록

In the case of a propeller-driven aircraft, power-on effect generated by the propeller has a strong influence on the performance and the stability of an aircraft directly and indirectly. A numerical study on the power-on effect has been performed using the CFD based on the multiple reference frame and sliding mesh model. The power-on effect increases the overall lift and the maximum lift of the aircraft. In addition to lift increment, power-on effect delays the stall of the aircraft. On the other hand, the power-on effect increases the drag significantly and consequently decreases the lift-to-drag ratio of the aircraft. Furthermore, the power-on effect decreases the nose-down pitching moment and consequently decreases the longitudinal static stability of the aircraft. It is expected that the analysis results presented and discussed in this report will be used as an important material for analyzing the aircraft performance and stability and will contribute the development of the propeller-driven aircraft with the pusher propeller.
