МОДЕЛЮВАННЯ ВЗАЄМОДІЇ КРИЛЕВОГО ПРОФІЛЮ З ДОЩОВИМ ПОТОКОМ

Abstract

The subject of the study is the analysis of the multilateral impact of rainfall on the flight of a modern aircraft. When considering various factors of this impact, it was found that the main negative consequences of the interaction of the aircraft with the rain flow are the formation of a thin layer of water on its surface, which under the influence of drops and surface tension forces changes the configuration of the wing profile, causing loss of load-bearing properties and an increase in frontal aircraft resistance. The influence of rain flowing around the bearing surfaces can be reduced to taking into account changes in the characteristics of the surface and the flow of the airflow. The goal is to develop a model for the interaction of modern wing profiles with rain flow. The task is to determine the amount of water deposited on the surface of the wing profile, calculate the parameters of the water film formed on its surface, and as a result of this, change the tangential stress at the liquid-air interface. The semi-empirical calculation method used reveals a significant dependence of the amount of precipitated rain water on the surface of modern wing profiles on their geometry and the conditions of interaction with the stream of raindrops. The result of this work is the resulting model, which allows you to simulate the flow conditions around the wing profile in the rain stream and evaluate the relationship of rain intensity with the parameters of the water film that forms on the profile. Conclusions. An analysis of the features of the rain film flow over the surface of the wing profile and its effect on the parameters of the boundary layer shows the negative nature of the effect of rainfall on the aerodynamics of the aircraft. The results obtained allow us to judge the reliability of using the adopted model to calculate the effect of rain on the aerodynamic characteristics of wing profiles, and the possibility of using the results to determine the dependence of the aerodynamic characteristics of wing profiles on the conditions of rainfall molasses.
