Thiết Kế Khí Động Học
1. Lý Thuyết Momentum
Blade Element Momentum (BEM) Theory
Nguyên lý cơ bản: Kết hợp lý thuyết momentum (Betz) với phân tích blade element (Prandtl)
Phương trình cân bằng momentum:
- Thrust: T = ṁ(V₀ - V₄) = 4πρR²V₀²a(1+a)
- Torque: Q = ṁr(V₀ω_wake) = 4πρR³V₀ωa'(1-a)
Hệ số cảm ứng:
- a: Axial induction factor
- a': Tangential induction factor
Hình: Mô hình Blade Element Momentum với stream tube
Phương Trình BEM Chi Tiết
Tại mỗi radial station r:
Local flow angle: φ = arctan[(1-a)V₀ / ((1+a')ωr)]
Local angle of attack: α = φ - (β + θ_twist)
Local forces per unit length:
- dL = ½ρW²CL(α)c
- dD = ½ρW²CD(α)c
Transformation to rotor plane:
- dT = dL cos φ + dD sin φ
- dQ = r(dL sin φ - dD cos φ)
Iteration equations:
a = 1 / (4F sin²φ/(σCₙ) + 1)
a' = 1 / (4F sin φ cos φ/(σCₜ) - 1)
Trong đó:
- F: Prandtl tip loss factor
- σ: Local solidity = Bc/2πr
- Cₙ = CL cos φ + CD sin φ
- Cₜ = CL sin φ - CD cos φ
2. Tối Ưu Hóa Hình Dạng Cánh
Betz Optimum Distribution
Cho TSR và số cánh B cố định:
Optimal chord distribution: c(r) = (8πr sin φ) / (3BCL λ_r)
Optimal twist distribution: θ(r) = arctan(2/3λ_r) - α_design
Trong đó λ_r = λr/R (local speed ratio)
Hình: Phân bố tối ưu chord và twist theo bán kính

- Airfoil: Trung bình (t/c = 20-25%)

Vùng đầu cánh (r/R = 0.8-1.0):
