Abstract

Avionics fuel control system, which is applied for delivering fuel to an engine in modern aircraft system, is difficult to study, design, and implement due to the high-security measures and the need for standard certification.To evaluate the complex dynamics involved in implementing fuel regulating for aircraft fuel system, a quantifiable evaluation model for avionics fuel control system based on system dynamics theory is developed in this paper. Firstly, the speed and flow regulation process is briefly introduced in an avionics fuel control system. Then, based on these operation principles, the analytic relations among the system state variables are provided, which come into being the system dynamics evaluation model. According to these analytic relations, the evalutation model is realized and simulated using Vensim tool. The simulation result shows that this model can be used efficiently in modeling and evaluating of avionic fuel control system for its clear causality, suitable complexity, and exact describe characteristics.
