RCAIDE.Library.Methods.Powertrain.Converters.Rotor.Design.set_optimized_parameters
set_optimized_parameters#
- set_optimized_parameters(rotor, optimization_problem)[source]#
Appends parameters of optimized rotor to input rotor data structure.
- Parameters:
rotor (RCAIDE.Library.Components.Powertrain.Converters.Rotor) – Rotor component to be updated with optimized parameters
optimization_problem (RCAIDE.Framework.Optimization.Common.Nexus) – Optimization problem with results and optimized rotor configurations
- Returns:
rotor – Updated rotor with optimized parameters
- Return type:
RCAIDE.Library.Components.Powertrain.Converters.Rotor
Notes
This function transfers the optimized rotor parameters from the optimization results to the input rotor data structure. It copies geometric properties such as chord and twist distributions, as well as performance metrics for different flight conditions.
- The function updates the following parameters:
- Geometric properties:
chord_distribution
twist_distribution
max_thickness_distribution
radius_distribution
number_of_blades
mid_chord_alignment
thickness_to_chord
blade_solidity
- Hover performance metrics:
design_power (if not specified)
design_thrust (if not specified)
design_torque
design_angular_velocity
design_Cl
design_thrust_coefficient
design_power_coefficient
design_SPL_dBA
design_blade_pitch_command
- OEI (One Engine Inoperative) performance metrics:
design_thrust
design_power
design_torque
design_angular_velocity
design_blade_pitch_command
- Cruise performance metrics (for prop-rotors only):
design_power (if not specified)
design_thrust (if not specified)
design_torque
design_angular_velocity
design_Cl
design_thrust_coefficient
design_power_coefficient
design_SPL_dBA
design_blade_pitch_command
- Major Assumptions
Default noise measurements are taken 135 degrees from rotor plane
