Experimental study on dynamic behavior of mechanically pumped two-phase loop with a novel accumulator in simulated space environment

Mechanically pumped two-phase loop (MPTL) which is a prominent two-phase heat transfer technology presents a promising prospect in thermal control for space payload. However, transient behavior of MPTL caused by phase-change and heat sources load-on/off in simulated space environment is rarely reported. In the present study, one MPTL setup was designed and constructed, and experimentally studied. Particularly, a novel two-phase thermally-controlled accumulator integrated with passive cooling measure and three capillary structures was designed as the temperature-control device. Dynamic behavior of the start-up, temperature control, and temperature adjustment were monitored; meanwhile, thermodynamic behavior within the proposed accumulator, the operating behavior as well as the heat and mass transfer behavior between the main loop and the accumulator were revealed. The results show that the fluid management function of the capillary structures for the novel accumulator is verified. The working point of the MPTL system can be adjusted by changing the temperature control point of the accumulator and it is little influenced by external heat flux and heat sources on/off. Pressure-drop oscillations which are manifested as fluctuations of temperature and pressure can be observed after phase changing due to the compressible volume within the accumulator and the negative-slope portion of the internal pressure.     

Experimental investigation of expansion effect on shock wave boundary layer interaction near a compression ramp

The experiment is conducted to investigate the effect of expansion on the shock wave boundary layer interaction near a compression ramp. The small-angle expansion with an angle degree of 5° occurs at different positions in front of the compression ramp. The particle image velocimetry and flow visualization technology show the flow structures, velocity field, and velocity fluctuation near the compression ramp. The mean pressure distribution, pressure fluctuation, and power spectral density are measured by high-frequency response pressure transducers. The experimental results indicate that the expansion before the compression ramp position affects the shock wave boundary layer interaction to induce a large-scale separation. But the velocity fluctuation and pressure fluctuation are attenuated near the large-scale flow separation region. When the expansion occurs closer to the compression ramp, the expansion has a more significant impact on the flow. The fluctuation of velocity and pressure is significantly attenuated, and the wall pressure rise of the separation point is reduced obviously. And the characteristic low-frequency spectrum signal related to the unsteadiness of the shock wave boundary layer interaction is significantly suppressed. In addition, variation of the separation region scale at different compression angle degrees is distinctive with the effect of expansion.

Investigation of pressure wave behaviors in the rotational speed effects on a pressure-exchange wave rotor

A wave rotor is suitable for compact and efficient pressure-exchange between gas flows.This work measured the circumferential pressure distribution of the rotor/stator interfaces and utilized a CFD method to simulate the unsteady pressure waves. The experimental and CFD results showed some slopes in the circumferential pressure distributions, and the slopes indicated the traces of specific unsteady pressure waves. Such traces varied regularly if the rotational speed varied within a range from-11...     

高马赫数V字形钝化前缘平板表面压力特性

针对三维内转式进气道V字形唇口下游面临的严酷压力载荷问题，将唇口简化为V字形钝化前缘平板，在来流马赫数为6的条件下，采用数值模拟结合激波风洞压敏涂料测量方法，研究了半径比R/r = 0 ~ 20（V字形根部倒圆半径R与前缘钝化半径r之比）的平板表面压力演化特性。结果表明，随着R/r增大，V字形钝化前缘产生的三维波系结构发生变化，引起下游平板表面压力演变出4种类型。R/r较小时，V字形钝化前缘激波干扰产生的大范围流动分离，诱导形成了偏离中心线较远的分叉状高压区（Type Ⅰ，分叉型）；随着R/r增大，流动分离减弱，分叉状高压区逐渐消失，由透射激波扫掠壁面所形成的条带状高压和超声速射流对撞所形成的中心线高压区逐渐显露，依次出现过渡型（Type Ⅱ）、严酷型（Type Ⅲ）和渐匀型（Type Ⅳ）压力分布。平板上分叉型和过渡型的压力最大值仅为4.3 ~ 7.2p∞（p∞为来流静压），但V字形钝化前缘处的流场品质恶劣；严酷型的压力最大值，随着射流对撞强度的增强而增大，最高可达19p∞；渐匀型的压力最大值，随着射流对撞强度的减弱，逐渐趋近于二维钝前缘平板产生的压力最大值4p∞。
