Detached-eddy simulation of supersonic flow past a spike-tipped blunt nose

Space vehicle in atmosphere travels mostly at supersonic speed and generates a very strong bow shockwave around its blunt nose. Oblique shock and conical separated flow zone generated by a forward disk-tip spike significantly reduce the drag by reducing the high pressure area on the blunt nose. This study employs improved delayed detached eddy simulation to investigate the characteristic flow structures around a spike-tipped blunt nose at Mach number of 3 and Reynolds number(based on the blunt-body diameter) of 2.72x10~8. The calculated time-averaged quantities agree well with experimental data. Characteristic frequencies in different flow regions are extracted using fast Fourier transform. It is found that two distinct instability modes exist: oscillation mode and pulsation mode. The former is related to the foreshock/turbulence interaction with nondimensional frequency at around 0.004. The latter corresponds to the interaction between turbulence and shock structures around the blunt nose, with a typical coherent structure shedding frequency at 0.092.     

典型激波针减阻降热特性及流动机理

为研究激波针对超/高超声速钝头飞行器进行减阻降热的相关特性,采用数值模拟方法对6种典型激波针构型的流动特征开展系统研究。给出了激波针长度、来流马赫数对流动特征的影响规律,并对其形成机理进行了探讨。结果显示:马赫数较低时,头部有扰流物的5种激波针在回流区即将分裂时减阻率最大;马赫数较高时,减阻率在回流区分裂前后出现局部峰值,但最大减阻率将出现在回流区分裂后更长的激波针长度下。马赫数为3时,6种构型减阻率达最大时的相对长度在0.8~1.2之间,相比而言,球型、半球型和双锥型的减阻效果最好,最大减阻率为45%~50%;圆锥型最差,为20%~25%,明显低于头部有扰流物的构型。相同的激波针长度下,头部有扰流物构型的减阻率随马赫数增大而增大,圆锥型则相反。流场回流区、分离激波、弓形激波、局部膨胀流动等导致的压力分布变化是构型整体阻力变化的主要成因。      

低声爆静音锥设计方法研究

 声爆精确预测及低声爆设计方法已成为新一代军民用超声速飞机研制过程中必须解决的关键难题之一。基于计算流体力学(CFD)、波形参数法以及MARK-VII方法构建了高精度声爆预测方法,利用该方法对低声爆静音锥的设计展开研究。研究结果表明,静音锥的设计存在临界长度,静音锥长度小于临界长度时,静音锥产生的激波在传播过程中与机头弓形激波合并,静音锥无法起到降低声爆的作用;静音锥长度大于临界长度时,声爆水平也会略有上升。静音锥临界长度随飞行高度和飞行马赫数的变化而变化,可以根据实际飞行状态采用可伸缩设计,达到最佳的低声爆效果。多级静音锥利用多道弱激波取代机头强弓形激波,其声爆水平较单级静音锥也更低,同样,多级静音锥每一级的长度也要达到临界长度。不同静音锥头部形状产生的脱体激波形状不同,脱体距离也不同,导致阻力系数以及静音锥壁面温度有所不同,但静音锥头部形状对远场声爆信号的影响并不明显。采用静音锥的低声爆方案与原始方案比较,声爆水平得到大幅降低,阻力系数略有上升。     

一种无烧蚀自适应的减阻防热新方法研究

为了解决传统激波针方法在高超声速实际应用中存在的问题,结合逆向喷流方法以及激波针方法,提出了一种无烧蚀自适应的高超声速减阻防热新方法一可伸缩姿态自调整喷流激波针方法(TSAJS).通过数值模拟的方法,针对不同L/D参数的TSAJS外形,对不同攻角、来流马赫数以及喷流马赫数状态下的流场结构、壁面压力和热流分布以及阻力系数等进行了对比研究.结果表明,TSAJS方法在有攻角状态仍然能够有效降低外形的阻力以及壁面热流,L/D为1的TSAJS外形可使壁面热流峰值及阻力系数均降低65％左右.在喷流作用下,TSAJS方法还可避免激波杆头部直接暴露于来流而产生严重的气动加热,从而不需要再特别考虑激波针的防热问题.     

基于径向基神经网络的气动热预测代理模型

Interaction of single-pulse laser energy with bow shock in hypersonic flow

Pressure sensing and schlieren imaging with high resolution and sensitivity are applied to the study of the interaction of single-pulse laser energy with bow shock at Mach 5. An Nd:YAG laser operated at 1.06 lm, 100 mJ pulse energy is used to break down the hypersonic flow in a shock tunnel. Three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations are solved with an upwind scheme to simulate the interaction. The pressure at the stagnation point on the blunt body is measured and calculated to examine the pressure variation during the interaction. Schlieren imaging is used in conjunction with the calculated density gradients to examine the process of the interaction. The results show that the experimental pressure at the stagnation point on the blunt body and schlieren imaging fit well with the simulation. The pressure at the stagnation point on the blunt body will increase when the transmission shock approaches the blunt body and decrease with the formation of the rarefied wave. Bow shock is deformed during the interaction. Quasi-stationary waves are formed by high rate laser energy deposition to control the bow shock. The pressure and temperature at the stagnation point on the blunt body and the wave drag are reduced to 50%, 75% and 81% respectively according to the simulation. Schlieren imaging has provided important information for the investigation of the mechanism of the interaction.

Transitional wave configurations between Type III and Type IV oblique-shock/bow-shock interactions

The interactions of oblique/bow shock waves are the key flow phenomena restricting the design and aerothermodynamic performance of high-speed vehicles. Type III and Type IV Shock/Shock Interactions(SSIs) have been extensively investigated, as such interactions can induce abnormal aerodynamic heating problems in hypersonic flows of vehicles. The transition process between these two distinct types of shock/shock interactions remains unclear. In the present study, a subclass of shock/shock interaction configuration is revealed and defined as Type IIIa. Type IIIa interaction can induce much more severe aerodynamic heating than a Type IV interaction which was ever reported to be the most serious in literature. The intense aerodynamic heating observed in this configuration highlights a new design point for the thermal protection system of hypersonic vehicles. A secondary Mach interaction between shock waves in the supersonic flow path of a Type III configuration is demonstrated to be the primary mechanism for such a subclass of shock/shock interaction configuration.
