8、THE SUBSONICVORTEX-LIFT CHARACTERISTICS OF ARROW, DELTA,AND DIAMOND WINGSBy Edward C. PolhamusLangley Research CenterSUMMARYThe leading-edge-suction analogy method of predicting the aerodynamic character-istics of slender delta wings has been extended to cover arrow- and diamond-wing plan-forms. Cha

10、ich occurs on slender sharp-edge wings has, during the past decade, become morethan an aerodynamic curiosity with airplanes such as the Concorde supersonic transportand the Viggen fighter utilizing this flow phenomenon as a means of eliminating the needfor flow control devices and high-lift flaps. (

11、See refs. 1 to 3.) Although many analyticalmethods of predicting the aerodynamic characteristics associated with leading-edge vor-tex flow have been developed (some of which are reported in refs. 4 to 8), they have beenlimited primarily to delta planform wings or wings with unswept trailing edges. B

12、ecauseof the increased use of slender wings exhibiting leading-edge vortex flow, at least in themany off-design conditions if not at the design condition, analytical methods applicable toarbitrary planforms are needed. The leading-edge-suction analogy, described in refer-ences 8 and 9 appears to pro

13、vide an accurate method of predicting the vortex-lift charac-teristics which, at least in concept, is not limited to delta planforms and has been shownin reference 10 to provide accurate estimates for a fairly wide range of fully taperedwings. Although the subsonic analysis was limited to incompress

14、ible flow, an appropriateapplication of the Prandtl-Glauert transformation should provide a subsonic compressi-bility correction. The purpose of this paper is to present, in chart form, the potential-flow and vortex-flow constants, including subsonic compressibility effects, for a wideseries of arro

19、tack and aspectratios can be obtained by combining the potential-flow lift and the vortex lift as predictedby the leading-edge-suction analogy. The resulting equations areC L = Kp sin a cos2a + Kv sin2a cos (1)andAC D = Kp sin2a cos a + K v sin3a (2)orAC D = C L tan a (3)where, in equations (1) and

20、(2), the first term represents the potential-flow contributionand the second term represents the vortex-lift contribution.In reference 10 it was shown that equation (1) is applicable for wings of arbitraryplanform providing, of course, that the constants Kp and K v are calculated for thedesired plan

21、form. The analogy method makes it possible to use potential-flow theoryto predict both the potential-flow term and the vortex-flow term. For the arrow anddiamond planforms of interest in this paper, any accurate potential-flow lifting-surfacemethod, such as the methods of references 11 and 12, can b

22、e used. Since the method ofreference 12 appears to offer some advantages with regard to more general planformsinvolving broken leading edges, it has been programed at Langley for use in certainlifting-surface studies and was used for the present calculations of the potential- andvortex-lift constant

23、s. The constant Kp is simply the potential-flow lift-curve slopeand the constant Kv is related to the potential-flow leading-edge thrust parameter.(See eq. (3) of ref. 10.)Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-The subsonic effectsof compres

24、sibility can be accounted for by use ofthe Prandtl-Glauert transformation and the Goethert rule form (see ref.13) willbe used herein. Thisrule relates the pressure coefficientat a given nondimensionalized pointon the real wingata given Mach number to a pressure coefficientatthe same nondimensionaliz

25、ed pointona transformed wing (stretchedinlongitudinaldirectionby l/f) inincompressible flow.For a wing of zero thickness, the rule can be statedas follows:1(CP)M,a,A,Ale = _-2(Cp)M=0,af,A/_,A_eApplicationto the potential-flow-liftconstant Kp iswell known, and the effectof com-pressibilitycan be acco

26、unted for simply by determining the incompressible value for atransformed wing having a reduced aspect ratioequal to AI_ and an increased leading-edge sweep angle whose tangent is greater by 1/_, and then increasing the resultingvalue of Kp by the factor i/ft. The I/_ correction to Kp resultsfrom co

27、mbiningthe 1/_ 2 correction to the pressure and the effect of the reduced angle of attack a_.!Therefore, if Kp is the incompressible value for the transformed wing, then Kp forthe real wing at its Mach number is given byKp = _With regard to the effect of compressibility on the vortex-lift constant K

28、v, it wasassumed that the leading-edge-suction analogy can also be applied in compressible flow;therefore, the problem can be reduced to that of determining the effect of compressibilityon the leading-edge suction. Although the same transformed wing is used for the leading-edge suction and the resul

29、ting vortex-lift constant Kv, the compressibility factor thatmust be applied differs from the 1/_ that is used for Kp. This is due to two factors.First, since the leading-edge suction increases with the square of the angle of attack, theangle-of-attack reduction associated with the transformed wing

30、completely cancels the1/132 term that is applied to the pressures on the transformed wing. SeCond, since themethod used must be equivalent to applying the transformed wing pressures along thereal-wing leading edge (rather than the reference area as in the potential-flow lift case),and since the tran

31、sformed leading-edge length e does not increase as rapidly as thetransformed-wing area S, the value of Kv must be corrected to the real wing ratioof the leading-edge length to the area. In other words,SeKv = Kv S eand since S =1 andS e _1 + tan2A_-r= I_ tan2A,+ _2Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo repr

These constant notch-ratio lines are also convenient for applying the Prandtl-Glauert transformation since the notch ratio is unaffected by the transformation.

Again, lines of constant notch ratio are presented for convenience.Values of fM as determined from equation (4) are
