Class
Foam::targetCoeffTrim
Description
Trim model where the operating characteristics of rotor
(e.g. blade pitch angle) can vary to reach a specified
target thrust and torque.
Solves:
\f[
c^{old} + J.d(\theta) = c^{target}
\f]
where
\vartable
n | Time level
c | Coefficient vector (thrust force, roll moment, pitch moment)
\theta | Pitch angle vector (collective, roll, pitch)
J | Jacobian [3x3] matrix
\endvartable
The trimmed pitch angles are found via solving the above with a
Newton-Raphson iterative method. The solver tolerance can be user-input,
using the 'tol' entry.
If coefficients are requested (useCoeffs = true),
the force and moments are normalised using:
\f[
c = \frac{F}{\alpha \pi \rho \omega^2 R^4}
\f]
and
\f[
c = \frac{M}{\alpha \pi \rho \omega^2 R^5}
\f]
where
\vartable
F | Force
M | Moment
\alpha | User-input conversion coefficient (default = 1)
\rho | Fluid desity
\omega | Rotor angular velocity
\pi | Mathematical pi
R | Rotor radius
\endvartable
Usage
Minimal example by using \c constant/fvOptions:
rotorDiskSource1
{
// Mandatory/Optional (inherited) entries
...
// Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
trimModel targetForce;
targetForceCoeffs
{
// Conditional mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
// when trimModel=targetForce
target
{
// Mandatory entries (runtime modifiable)
thrust 0.5;
pitch 0.5;
roll 0.5;
// Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
useCoeffs true;
}
pitchAngles
{
theta0Ini 0.1;
theta1cIni 0.1;
theta1sIni 0.1;
}
calcFrequency 1;
// Optional entries (runtime modifiable)
nIter 50;
tol 1e-8;
relax 1;
dTheta 0.1;
alpha 1.0;
}
}
where the entries mean:
